Completion of the program prepares students for certification as a Nursing Assistant. As a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), you will assist people with their everyday health care needs. Under the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN), you will help your patients practice activities of daily living, provide bedside care, and perform basic nursing procedures. CNAs work with the young and old alike, in nursing homes, hospitals, adult day health centers, assisted living facilities, and patients’ homes.
