You can become a nursing assistant in Oregon by completing a state certified training program and then by passing the test for certification. The state of Oregon offers two levels of nursing assistant training: the CNA 1 and the CNA2 Program. You must become certified as a CNA1 before you can continue training. Read below for a list of free training options:
Many CNA training programs are offered at community colleges and in other educational facilities. You can contact local colleges and universities in your area to find those that offer nursing assistant training. Talk to the schools to determine if the programs you will be entering will be eligible for grants or scholarships of any type.
You should apply for grants and scholarships if they are available to you to cover a training program for nursing assistant certification. It might sometimes work out that you will receive enough financial aid to pay for the entire course, thus offering you free training.
There are nursing care facilities and even hospitals that offer nursing assistant training as well. You should contact local facilities to find out if any offer training. Ask those that do offer training if they offer employee sponsored program. In these programs you will agree to work for an employer for awhile and they will agree to pay for your training.
Contact the Nursing Aide Registry for the state of Oregon if you are hoping to find free cna training options. Someone at the Registry should be able to refer you to any programs or agencies that might be able to help pay for your certified nursing assistant education. You should then follow up by checking into any programs to determine if you can apply for training tuition assistance.
Clatsop Care Center (Added June 2012)
they are currently funding four scholarships for CNA training. The financial assistance allows you to get trained at Clatsop Community College after which you will need to work for the care center for a minimum of 6 months(24 hours a week). If you’re serious about becoming a CNA and want a job ready for you, this looks like a perfect opportunity. A lot of people may feel that getting bound by an employer is a bad thing but in today’s economy, getting training AND a job all together is excellent. You can pick up the scholarship application at their facility over at 646 – 16th Street, Astoria, OR 97103. Call them on 503-325-0313 for more info.
The Oregon Job Corps:
There are six job corps centers located in Oregon. They are in Angell, Pivot, Springdale, Timber lake, Tongue Point and Wolf Creek. Of those 6 locations, only 3 offer free CNA training as one of the career training choices. The training is for free but there are some caveats that may not be suitable for everyone. You are required to live at the facility where you take the course because they help you improve your social skills(some facilities may allow you to reside elsewhere so check first)
