Katelyn also said she enjoyed We Care Online and was excited that we offer reimbursement. Her feedback highlights something students often look for when choosing training: an experience they can navigate and work with.

Each student’s experience is personal. We appreciate hearing what worked well for Katelyn, and we hope her recognition encourages other learners who are taking their own next step.

Why Training Costs Deserve a Clear Conversation

Before starting a course, students need to understand both the learning requirements and the costs. Tuition is one part of that decision. Textbooks, fees, travel to required in-person sessions, and time away from other responsibilities may also affect planning.

A reimbursement drawing gives qualifying students an opportunity to receive their eligible course tuition back. It should be treated as a possible benefit when making a budget, since selection is not guaranteed.

A helpful planning rule: choose training you can budget for, then consider the drawing an additional opportunity.

This approach helps students and families make informed decisions. It also helps employers explain training options without creating expectations that every student will receive reimbursement.

How the We Care Online Drawing Works

We Care Online’s published program provides a monthly tuition reimbursement drawing for qualifying Nurse Aide students. The program page describes one student selected in Kansas and one in South Dakota each month.

To qualify, students must meet all of these requirements:

• Be enrolled in a CNA class in Kansas or a Nurse Aide class in South Dakota.
• Have the course paid in full.
• Maintain a passing grade and have no late assignments for the course.

Eligible students are automatically entered when all requirements apply. Simply being registered does not meet every condition for entry.

Winners receive notification, and reimbursement is sent by check from We Care Online. Textbooks and additional fees are not reimbursed. Facilities that pay for qualifying students’ training are also eligible under the published program.

Always read the current eligibility requirements before relying on the program when planning your expenses.

A Save-Worthy Checklist for Current Students

If you are taking a qualifying course, the best next steps are straightforward. Keep up with the course and make sure you can receive important messages.

1. Review your assignment deadlines. Put them on a calendar and plan study time before each due date.
2. Monitor your progress. Check your grades and ask your instructor for help when you need clarification.
3. Confirm payment status. The course must be paid in full to meet the drawing requirements.
4. Watch your email. Winners must respond to their notification within seven days.
5. Complete the winner form if selected. Winners provide a short response and permission to use their first name and photo in the announcement.

These habits support more than drawing eligibility. They can also help you stay organized throughout training and address questions before a deadline becomes a problem.

Choosing Nurse Aide Training That Fits Your Life

If Katelyn’s announcement has you thinking about your own training, start by reviewing the requirements for your state. Nurse Aide courses can combine online learning with required hands-on instruction, and the details vary by program.

Online coursework can offer scheduling flexibility, but students still need to meet deadlines and attend required in-person sessions. Before registering, check the course dates, lab or clinical location, admission requirements, and total expected costs.

Explore our Kansas Certified Nurse Aide program or South Dakota Nurse Aide program for the details that apply to your plans.

Employers can use the same information to help staff plan training around work schedules. Reviewing the full schedule together can make expectations clearer before enrollment.
