In our last episode of 2023, we explore the development of our Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program at Hopkins High School. The program will be offered in January in a state-of-the-art lab at the high school designed to simulate a hospital setting. The program not only offers real-world experience in the medical field, it also offers scholars CNA certification - a value of around $1,500. Scholars who enroll in this class will spend time in this simulated clinical setting and an actual clinical setting, offering them critical thinking skills, deep perspective, and empathy. Thank you to the Hopkins Education Foundation for helping support this important and relevant class.
