Can you use on a resume "nursing assistant" to prove that you at least finished school even though you did not pass exams? Is one in a better position to get a personal care aide/caregiver job over someone who did not attend cna school?

Meanwhile, you can work as a personal caregiver...
Don't EVER , EVER MISPREPRESENT credentials, because you will end up with no opportunity to become licensed or be accepted to nursing school,
You could be reported to the state board and suffer big consequences for misrepresentation!
Hi TexasAide,
When you write your resume stick with the truth. It is very important. If you tell something untrue on your resume and it comes out later you will not be hired because the hiring manager/recruiter cannot trust you. I know that many advise to write a resume so that it shows your good sides and hides the dark spots, but there are other ways.
Now, in your special case: if you have the time try to get a volunteering position in the facility where you want to start as a CNA. You work for free, but it will help you a lot to get the CNA job when you have passed the exam.
Cheers,
Christian
