Hawaiʻi<\/span> Community College<\/a> is offering a new course this fall in West Hawaiʻi<\/span> that prepares students to become certified nurse’s aides (CNA<\/abbr>) in just two months.<\/p>\n

Students who successfully complete the course will be ready to take the certification test that will allow them to become a CNA<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

“With tuition for this course costing about $570, this is an affordable way to prepare for a job as a CNA<\/abbr> and launch your career in the healthcare field,” said May Kealoha<\/strong>, Hawaiʻi<\/span> CC<\/abbr> nursing and allied health<\/a> director.<\/p>\n

The demand for certified nurse’s aides in Hawaiʻi<\/span> is strong with 22 percent projected job growth between 2010 and 2020.<\/p>\n
