CNA Job Outlook

Overall employment of nursing assistants is projected to grow 11 percent from 2016 to 2026. This is faster than the average for all occupations. As the baby-boom population ages, nursing assistants will be needed to assist and care for elderly patients.

Becoming a CNA is a great way to enter the field of healthcare/nursing. If you wish to advance to a more specialized field of nursing, there will be plenty of opportunity to do so.

Being a CNA offers a high degree of job stability and flexibility. There is currently a great demand for qualified CNAs and this trend is expected to grow. CNAs work in various healthcare settings and are needed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in some settings. This can allow you to work a schedule that fits in well with the rest of your life.

Our course allows you to learn what is expected of you as a Nursing Assistant. Once you apply that knowledge and maintain those high standards of care out in the field, you will have both the confidence and the knowledge to advance your nursing career if you choose. This training meets or exceeds the requirements for all 50 states.
