LOOKING FOR A CAREER CHANGE?
All across Massachusetts, there are many job openings in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and visiting nurse services. Being a Nurse Assistant or Home Health Aide can be the first step on a career ladder to higher paying jobs in the health care sector including Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and Registered Nurse (RN).
As CNA’s and HHA’s, you will be entrusted with the immense responsibility of caring for families’ most vulnerable loved ones. It is imperative that you provide patients with the same level of professionalism, comfort, safety, and emotional care that you would expect for a member of your own family.
A Nurse Assistant is a person who assists individuals with health care needs, activities of daily living and provide bedside care—including basic nursing procedures—all under the supervision of an RN or LPN.
Home Health Aides provide routine, personal health care, such as bathing, dressing, or grooming to elderly, convalescent, or disabled persons in patients’ home.

Participants receive both a Nurse Assistant Certificate as well as a Home Health Aide Certificate. These certifications are required in order to take the Massachusetts State Exam to become a Certified Nurse Assistant. Many nursing assistants require certification for employment.
