Certified Nurse Assistants

Juniors in the health technologies program at Jefferson County Joint Vocational School yielded another 100-percent passage rate on their certified nurse assistant (CNA) exams, and now many are either working or seeking employment at area facilities. Program instructor Tammy Sismondo said the students completed classwork and clinicals and then took written and skills exams on May 11-12. She was proud to see their hard work pay off and said it was the next step in the progression of their education.
