Best of luck to you Melisa Sarabia Torres! ✨
This summer, I completed a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program at Aprende Health Careers Institute in San Jose, California. This consisted of 60 hours of theory and 100 hours of clinicals at two nursing home facilities, The Ridge Post-Acute and Empress Care Center, both located in San Jose, California. This was a great experience as it is a grasp of the healthcare field. I am proud to say I am officially a licensed Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Special thanks to my instructor, Mark Anthony Lavarias, BSN, RN, PHN He was an amazing instructor making this program engaging. Lots of interesting tips for the healthcare field were provided to ensure a healthy environment I will head back to the University of Notre Dame to start my sophomore year. As a first generation Latina pre-med student, I am always looking for opportunities in healthcare. I will put my CNA skills to a part-time job opportunity in assisting a first year student in his daily life.
