Have you thought about going into the medical field? Maybe you even want to be a nurse, but would really like to see the field and get firsthand experience before committing to nursing school?

Stormont Vail Health is proud to offer a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program through TCALC!

By enrolling in the CNA program with Stormont Vail and TCALC, you have ample opportunities to learn and explore the nursing field to find out if it’s the right fit for you. This is a semester-long program, after which you are given the opportunity to test for a CNA certificate to help you move forward in your career path. The first group of graduates from this CNA course graduated on Dec. 16, 2022 and received their certificates!

Paid internships, encouragement to apply for permanent positions at our hospital, and scholarship opportunities for your continued education are also offered by Stormont Vail to qualified candidates who are completing our CNA program.

The CNA program at TCALC, supported by Stormont Vail, was featured on WIBW during the To Your Health segment. You can get an inside glimpse of the program in that segment by watching here.
