Training is always a necessary part when starting any career. If you are looking for a way to start a career in health care that won’t leave you in debt for years because of the training costs, then you should start to think about becoming a nursing aide.

Nursing aides work hand-in-hand with licensed nurses in providing nursing and nursing related care to patients in different health care settings, including their own homes. Nursing aides in California have some of the highest salaries in the state. Depending on where you work, you can make an annual salary of $20,000 to $37,000.

If you wish to work as a nursing aide you must get certified by the Aide and Technician Section of the L&C Program and gain entry into the NAR. Employers will only hire those whose names are found in the NAR.
