On July 8th, Career Institute hosted a Certified Nursing Assistant orientation at the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce. Twenty-one students were in attendance, including the 15 students that will start their training in August. I discovered that 40% of the future students found out about the CNA training through their high schools. I spoke to one of the students, Yesenia Valencia during break and she admitted that she was nervous but was excited to start the program. "I want to get started into the field, because I want to become a RN (Registered Nurse)." Yesenia found out about the program through her cousin, who already went through the program last year.
I joined Jennifer Martinez (Victorville's Career Mentor) for the orientation. Since I went through the same training last year I was able to offer my experiences to the group. I answered several questions that the students had concerning the CNA training and the Student Ambassador program. It was a fantastic start for their CNA training!
