Nurse Assistant Training Program
Los Angeles Skills Academy CNA Training: West Hollywood
What is a CNA?
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) provide essential, everyday care that supports the health and dignity of patients, working closely with individuals across a wide range of medical situations. Known also as Patient Care Assistants (PCAs) or Nurse’s Aides, CNAs function under the direction of healthcare professionals including Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs). Whether in hospitals, long-term care centers, rehab units, or private residences, these caregivers are integral to patient well-being and the delivery of responsive, high-quality care.
In West Hollywood, becoming a CNA opens numerous pathways for those passionate about healthcare. It’s a popular entry point for individuals eager to gain hands-on clinical knowledge, whether to advance toward a nursing career or to explore whether a future in patient care suits their goals. Some participants appreciate the flexibility CNA roles offer, allowing them to work and study at the same time. Others use it to develop bedside skills that prepare them for more advanced health science studies or medical school.
Our CNA program combines deep academic instruction with immersive clinical application. Students cover a wide range of critical topics including personal hygiene support, measuring vital signs, and maintaining clear and professional communication with patients and peers. Clinical experience follows classroom learning, allowing students to apply their training in healthcare settings under professional supervision. By completing this course, you'll gain not only practical abilities but also the confidence to serve as a compassionate caregiver.
