Does anyone know of any CNA courses being offered in Florida for free or for a cheap price?

Question

I've had my CNA license since 2000, but that was in the state of NJ. I am thinking of moving to Florida and I wanted to know if there was any healthcare facilities that offer free classes with job placement in the facility once you obtain your license.

If you already are Licensed, Certified, Registered or State Approved in your own State and want to move to another state, you will need to request reciprocity.  This means that you are asking the new state to recognize the approval you received from your home state.  Contact the State registry in your home state and request a "Application for  Enrollment By Reciprocity".  Ask them if you should send  the completed form to them or to the state to which you are moving.  The contact information for the state registry can be found at www.4cnas.com  This site offers a free listing of schools that offer CNA Training programs www.4cnas.com  You can also contact your state registry for a listing of accredited CNA training programs in your area.  The Contact information for the state registry can also be found on this website.
