🩺 National Career Nurse Assistants Day 🩺

Today, we recognize the dedicated nurse assistants who provide compassionate care and make a difference in the lives of patients every day.

At Greenville Technical College, students can train to become Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), gaining the skills needed to provide quality care in hospitals, long-term care facilities, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home health settings.

CNAs continue to be in high demand, and the profession is expected to experience continued growth, creating meaningful career opportunities for those passionate about helping others.

🗨️"I've been a nursing assistant since graduating high school, and I truly believe I'm a caretaker at heart. Nursing school is incredibly challenging, but I believe this is where God wants me and what I was born to do. Becoming a nurse will be a dream come true. This scholarship is truly life-changing. It helps relieve the constant stress of paying bills and allows me to focus on my education. I'm beyond grateful and honored to receive this support. Thank you!" — Christine P.

Because of donor support, students like Christine can focus on pursuing their calling and preparing to meet the growing healthcare needs of our community.
