A health career in close reach
Part of our Center for Health Careers, Certified Nursing Assistant is a Workforce and Continuing Education program. This means that there are no applications for you to submit, no placement tests to take and no scrambling for classes semester after semester!
Just register, go to class and watch those eight weeks fly by as you learn how to help patients live with dignity - regardless of what stage of life they’re in.
Soon after, you’ll be working in a hospital or long-term care facility, an adult daycare center or in a private home.  And, at the center of everything you do will be a patient who needs your competent and compassionate care.
