Become a Vital Part of Patient Care
If you’re looking for a career where you will make a direct impact helping patients, you’ll find it as a CNA. We offer the chance to earn your Basic Nursing Assistant, CNA II or CNA recertification. CNAs help patients with daily activities and help nursing staff. With an Advanced CNA degree, you’ll continue your education with EKG and phlebotomy training as well as courses designed to hone your critical thinking, conflict resolution skills and ability to navigate compliance issues.
CNAs assist patients with basic healthcare needs and daily living activities, helping maintain their dignity during illness or injury.
Nursing Assistants work in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, adult daycares, independent and assistive living facilities, hospice, home health care, and memory care.
