Long-term healthcare facilities need a way of finding CNAs to fill gaps in their workforce. Similarly, CNA students need more flexible and accessible ways to access training, as well as job placement after they become certified. The key to overcoming all of these hurdles is with a better matching system to benefit all parties involved.

Real Life Vs. CNA Coursework

People who are passionate about becoming CNAs are not always able to make a full-time dedication to education and training. Many CNA students have real-life responsibilities outside of coursework. These people are raising families, holding down other jobs, and other activities which can conflict with the schedules of many CNA training facilities. Location is also a major factor. A potential CNA student may live quite some distance from a physical training facility, so the commute will eat even more time out of their schedules and make the act of following their passion to help others or the desire to improve themselves seem like an uphill battle. Having the ability to take online courses at their own pace gives CNA students the flexibility they require to maintain a healthy and productive balance between classwork and real-life responsibilities.

Facilities Vs. Workforce Gaps

Care facilities and other employers in need of CNAs are trying to overcome the challenge of finding qualified professionals to fill gaps in the workforce. Under-employed (or unemployed) people who would like a meaningful career but don’t have the time or money for college would benefit from an alternative that allows them to study for a license as a healthcare professional. CNAonline provides an attractive solution for both facilities and students. Our course is flexible so students can work full-time while they study, and facilities can get to know these students (and potential new-hires) while the students are at the facility during in-person, hands-on clinical labs. It’s a win-win for both.

CNAonline provides a comprehensive program that benefits facilities and students alike. We offer training for students that allows them to progress at their own pace to fit their lifestyles. Simultaneously, we help facilities bolster the workforce and provide people with licensed expertise care for their residents.
