Well today I stayed home and had a "No spend day" I did all the laundry, swept out the garage, and mowed the front and back yard. I did my budget for this week and next and for the month of August. The mortgage is paid for the month of August but I have to save for Sept. I do not have an income now so after I figured out the budget I realized we only have $400 left after paying all the bills for the month of Sept. That is what I have for gas, groceries and spending $. I do not want to look for a job because I need to take the class for nursing asst. I need to go to the different schools and find out how much they are and how long. Some are 5 to 7 weeks long and cost from $500 to $900. It looks as if I may need to borrow $$ from my parents to pay for the class. It will be the first time in many, many years. After I get my certificate then I can work at a hospital. Lets see how I can make this work!
Productive and sobering day

Why not check into a nursing home that offers free in-house training for nursing assistants? There is a tremedous need for good NAs.
This is one of the few fields that offers practical, on-the-job instruction at little or no cost to the employee. Unless you sign an employment contract - and I don't know of any in my area who require this - your training is part of a facility's cost of doing business. Health care facilities are used to high turn-over.
The work is very hard, but so important. And there are often opportunities for additional education and overtime.
Good Luck! (Keep us posted.)
