Certified nursing assistants work in the fast-growing field of healthcare. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that job growth for CNAs is faster than average for all occupations, making it a desirable job for newcomers to healthcare. The number of elderly is growing, which increases the need for CNAs. However, simultaneously, nursing homes that depend on federal and state funds may not be able to hire new CNAs as the cost of healthcare rises faster than they receive financial assistance.

Certification

Each state has its own licensing requirements for CNAs. Typically, future CNAs must complete a rigorous training course and pass an exam. Training programs can be found in some high schools, community colleges, hospitals, vocational/technical colleges and nursing homes. The course includes classroom and clinical instruction.

Once CNAs have passed the exam, they are listed on their states' registries for nurse aides. They usually must complete some professional training during their licensure period to ensure they are current on the latest CNA best practices. CNAs often must also pass a background check.
