There is always a strong need for compassionate and qualified nursing assistants to work with elderly patients in nursing homes and retirement facilities.  As a result, these facilities will often pay to provide training to motivated individuals looking to start a career as a certified nursing assistant.  You will then have to agree to work for that employer for a specified number of months.

The American Red Cross offers CNA training in North Carolina.  There is a fee for this training program.  However, sometimes individuals are able to receive grants from community program and organizations to complete training through the Red Cross.  If you receive a grant to cover the entire cost, you will have free cna training.

It is not uncommon to find some nursing assistant programs at technical schools and community colleges.  You should contact the financial aid department of any schools offering nursing assistant training.  It might be possible to apply for scholarships and even grants for some of those programs.  This is even more likely if the program grants you credit hours upon completion of the course.

Talk to the administrators of nursing assistant programs you are interested in attending.  They might be able to point you in the direction of programs you can apply for to cover the cost of your training.  Most states offer opportunities for individuals who are unemployed or underemployed to receive financial assistance with training programs.
