The best way for those who want to start a career in healthcare is to become a nursing assistant. This profession’s demand is very high now and is continuing to increase. Comparing to other options, choosing this line of work is much cheaper and is faster. Keep in mind however, that being a nursing assistant is best suited for those who want to help others without thinking about a large salary.

Before you are allowed to be a nursing assistant in the state of New Hampshire, you must first complete a CNA training program. While in the program, you will learn all the things that you need to take care of a patient. After completion, you can then take the license exams to get your license. Once approved you can be hired by care facilities and start providing assistance to patients under the general observation of a registered nurse.

Aside from gaining entry into the medical field, these are also opportunities that are only available to nurse aides. For example, if you want to pursue a higher degree, there are also other certifications that can be added on top of your nursing assistant certificate. One of those higher certifications is getting a Medication NA certificate/license, which can be acquired by enrolling in a different program.

This increase in the demand for nursing assistants has also opened new line of work for nurses. If they want, they can apply to become a nursing assistant clinical instructor. One of the requirements is that the applicant must be a Registered Nurse and has a Train-the-trainer certification.
