You can either take a CNA class and then pay $92 to take state exam. My sister just challenged the test. She got a CNA study guide from Pearson.com, paid her $92, got a test date, and passed the test.
My Aunt does this. The schedule is a little hectic for her but she loves the work.
It is very difficult to get Nursing Assistant certificate in my country.
