Health Care and Nursing Assistant Certifications
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
A CNA’s workload can become intense and fast-paced, but the human contact and ability to help those in medical need is a strong motivating factor. A desire to help people and compassion for patients can help a nurse’s assistant get through difficult days. Nursing assistants fulfill basic quality-of-life needs for patients of any age in residential nursing care facilities or outpatient clinics. Since nursing assistants have daily contact with patients, they are gatherers of vital information regarding patient conditions and changes in health status.
Certified Health Facility Manager (CHFM)
The healthcare facilities manager serves as an essential point of contact for a variety of issues within the facility. From a faulty light fixture to damaged flooring, the facilities management team handles it all. Over the course of a day, the facilities manager may field emails about maintenance and repairs, review proposals for a new construction project, tour and inspect patient rooms, compare pricing on new furniture options for the waiting room, negotiate a service contract with vendors, and ensure compliance with safety regulations and accreditation standards.
