It may depend on where you live I live in Kentucky. You had to be 18 to be certified and didn't have to have High School Diploma or GED. Although, it is better to, if you plan on going further in the Nursing career. Some places will pay for you to get certified, you just have to work for them for so long. If you can't find one that will pay for it, it's not cheap. Probably from 500-100 dollars.Look for an Extendicare Nursing Facility. They will pay for ALL your classes, books everything! Being 15, you probably couldn't get a CNA job yet, you have to be at least 16.<br><b>References : </b><br>Former CNA, now an RN I actually started out as a nursing Aide, before I got my Nursing Licenses.

I'm not sure if it's different state to state. As far as the cost, the program i took through a technical school set me back around $700, including the books/manuals i had to buy, though it depends on what place you take the program at. There were a few cheaper ones around where i live but the school i took it at has a better program than the others. Also in minnesota, it's a state law that if you work in the same nursing home for 3 months, and your 3-month review is satisfactory, then the nursing home has to pay you back what ever you spent on the CNA course. Like i said, it might differ from state to state. Go to yahoo and type in your state+nursing assistant registry and you should find what you need. Hope this helps<br><b>References : </b><br>Certified Nursing Assistant (Nursing Home-1 year) In minnesota you have to be at least 16 years old. I’m not sure if it’s different state to state.
