How can I become a CNA ( without any expensive funds) as a 17 year old who's school doesn't offer CNA classes, & with limited resources ? My local community college offers it but it cost almost 2000$, any opportunities!?

I want to become a CNA / take classes and have a license, to build up for my devotion for healthcare / nursing in the future. I truly believe this experience will give me the expertise and help me to where I want to be! I appreciate any help and advice.

Will I need to get my CNA certification in order to become a Nurse?

I am in 12th grade and currently getting my Medical Assisting certification. I'm on track to go to the University of Utah and begin my nursing pre-reqs. I'm planning on working as a Medical Assistant and would rather work as that a CNA. Am I going to need to get this certification anyway?

How do you balance nursing school with a full time job as the sole source of income for the household?

I have to wait a couple of years to complete the science prerequisites so I'm just in the planning stages. Currently I'm a CNA working the 3-11pm shift.

What are the best CNA schools in California in 2026?

Hi everyone, I’m trying to figure out which CNA programs in California are actually worth it. If you’ve completed a program here, could you share the school name, city, what you liked or disliked, and whether you’d recommend it? Hoping this helps future CNAs pick a solid program instead of just relying on ads. Thanks!

I keep hearing experienced nurses say that starting with CNA training is one of the best ways to build a strong foundation for a successful nursing career.?

My CNA instructor at Sisucare said the same thing based on her own experience, but I’m still curious what others think. Why do you think so many nurses recommend becoming a CNA first? Has starting as a CNA actually helped your nursing journey (confidence, patient skills, getting hired, etc.)? If you could start over, would you still choose the CNA first route? I’d love to hear your experiences and any pros or cons you’ve noticed.

Are there any free online CNA programs around San Jose?

I’ve found a couple online CNA courses, but in order to pass I need to attend the clinicals in-person. I’m struggling to find programs near San Jose/Santa Clara that are low-cost or free. Additionally, I’m a high school student who starts classes mid-August, so I need to make sure my school schedule doesn’t interfere with the online schedule.

If I'm in between careers what advice can you give me to help decide between the two?

I am a junior in high school who lives in Virginia. I want to go into the Air force for the benefits but I am already on track to becoming a high school graduating CNA I don't know exactly what the best option is for me and I am on the fence about everything. I want to know more about both fields before I jump head first into either career. I know that while being in the air-force I can also work as a CNA but I am not sure if there are any better options out there for me.
