CNA's aren't even required to be certified in New York. Most of the programs we see come through are only quasi-college level at all. So I wouldn't worry too much about where your certification is from.
On another note... if you actually would like to be a nurse... RN's start with a 2-year Associate's degree, making up to $55-60 walking out of school. BSN's (bachelor of science in nursing) obviously make more and are more in demand. There's a nursing shortage - if you think you'd like it, it's a really solid career to choose with a multitude of possibilities.
