Certified Nurse Aide Training

If you want to pursue Certified Nurse Aide Training, OSU-OKC offers you two options: FREE option and PAYING option.

FREE OPTION:
You may attend the instruction for FREE provided you agree to work in a long-term care facility that accepts Sooner Care for at least 12-months during the 24-month period after your training. This is our most popular option as most of our graduates already plan to work in a long-term care facility and welcome the opportunity to obtain the information for free.

PAYING OPTION:
Those who chose to pay the $360 plus other related fees will not have any obligations after the class. Both options will give you the same training as described below.
