Nurse Assistant Program
With the construction of large healthcare facilities in the West Valley, coupled with an aging population at both the local and national level, trained healthcare professionals are more in demand than ever before. Careers in healthcare, including Certified Nurse Assistants (CNA) are often included on "hot" job listings worldwide.
This program provides a holistic approach to education that combines classroom instruction with a skills-based laboratory, hands-on experience, and therapeutic interaction with patients at off-site clinical locations throughout the Phoenix area. The program prepares students to take the nurse assistant certification examination. Completion does not guarantee certification.
Certified Nurse Assistants typically start at $9 to $15 per hour, and are responsible for a variety of patient needs. CNA's can work in hospitals, nursing homes, home health, and hospice.
