Get the Training You Need to Become a
Certified Nurse Aide after Only 2 Weeks!
The rising demand for health care service employees makes becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant (also known as a Certified Nurse Aide) a wise career move. The CNA profession has been growing steadily for more than ten years. Coupled with our aging baby boomers, both the need and job opportunities will continue to grow for the next 30 to 40 years. In addition:
- Hospice providers, skilled nursing facilities, and hospitals require Certified Nurse Aides.
- Many nursing programs require completion of a nurse aide course as a prerequisite for admission into their nursing program.
- Employment for Certified Nurse Aides may include shift differentials (extra compensation for employees who work a less desirable shift, such as evening or midnight shifts) as well as weekend pay premiums.
