Why It Matters

Certified Nursing Assistants play a vital role in patient care. CNAs not only provide hands-on support but also improve patients’ experiences by delivering personalized, compassionate attention. This role is also a stepping stone—many CNAs go on to become Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Registered Nurses (RNs).
