, enabling licensed nursing staff to care for more patients, thus helping relieve a critical shortage of medical care providers, a shortage that will become more acute as the population ages. If you are a young person anxious to start a career who can absorb classroom training, learn and follow exacting procedures, have a genuine interest in helping other people, and who can work with confidence under stress would do well to consider checking into a CNA training program. Within a few short months, you can be earning an average of twice the minimum wage and have the satisfaction of helping others and the pride of working as a member of a highly skilled and motivated team.
