The program is also offing Certified Nurses Assudtant (CNA) training for interested students. Students must be enrolled in the courses for one full year to be eligible. Senior students will have priority to this training; if space is available other students may also be able to take this training. This is provided in conjunction with Miller's Merry Manor. A student is required to take a skills inventory, submit to a criminal history check, and complete a physical examination.
