What is a CNA?
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) provide crucial front-line care, assisting patients with essential daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. Functioning under the supervision of Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs), they are often referred to as Nurse’s Aides, PCAs, or Nursing Assistants. CNAs are employed in a diverse range of environments including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, aged care homes, and private residences, where their attentive and consistent support significantly contributes to the quality of patient care.
In Downtown Los Angeles, pursuing a CNA credential is a popular and effective first step toward a career in healthcare. For some, it’s the launchpad for further education and progression into more advanced nursing roles. For others, it’s a practical way to gain experience and income while continuing their studies. Still others use CNA training to explore their interest in the field before committing to long-term educational pathways.
