Carilion's Inaugural Certified Nurse Aide Class

Carilion Clinic is thrilled to announce the inaugural Certified Nurse Aide program began on 5/1/23. The cohort is comprised of 4 phenomenal and driven women and is taught by Carilion's former Roanoke County Schools CNA Instructor, Karen Zimmerman. This 6-week course, approved by the Virginia Board of Nursing, will prepare our students to attain their Nurse Aide Certification. This inaugural class will start their career here at Carilion in Home Health and Hospice although the program is designed to provide CNAs to various Carilion roles. Congratulations to Michelle, Brittney, Angie, and Krystal for being part of the inaugural class and many thanks to Katy Thompson and Chris Fitzgerald in HR, HHH management, and everyone else involved to make this program a reality!
