Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are a vital link between the patient and their nurse or other members of the health care team.
The daily tasks of a CNA can include:

• Assisting patients with eating, bathing, dressing, and other daily care needs
• Recording basic health information, such as temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and respirations

CNAs can be found in nursing homes, hospitals, adult day health centers, assisted living facilities, and can provide in-home care.
Average starting salaries range from $8 - $13 per hour.

Requirements:

• At least 16 years of age
• Ability to read and write English
• Perform simple math (addition and subtraction)

At the end of the 4-week course, students must pass a state certification test in order to be certified.
