THE IMPACT OF THESE PROGRAMS. UMMS. All right, knock on the door. COME IN. DURING CNA CLASSES, STUDENTS KNOCK ON THE PATIENT’S ROOM. COME HERE. UH. GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS PRINCESS VIDA. TODAY I WILL BE YOUR SENIOR, BUT IT ALSO SYMBOLIZES THE DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY THAT MICHELLE YOUNG OPENS FOR NURSING ASSISTANTS. AND I JUST FEEL VERY FULFILLED THAT I CAN BE PART OF THE TRAINING. AND I CAN FEEL INDEPENDENT THAT THE PEOPLE I EMPOWER TO WORK ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE. THEY ARE WONDERFUL AND COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE WHOM I WOULD LIKE TO CARE. MY LOVED ONES. IN 2022, YOUNG CREATED A HEALTH CAREER TRAINING INSTITUTE IN LOUISVILLE, OFFERING A CNA AND ECG CERTIFICATE AND PHLEPHOTOMY. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE OFFERED TO REMOVE FINANCIAL BARRIERS TO QUALITY EDUCATION. IN LESS TWO WEEKS WE COVER AROUND 46 CHAPTERS. IT’S FAST, BUT STUDENTS LIKE REESE NAVALTA, ONE OF THE 250 GRADUATES SINCE THE PROGRAM STARTED, HAVE MADE IT. AND TODAY BECAUSE THE INSTRUCTOR IS REMOVING ERRORS FROM HIS DICTIONARY AS YOUNG. SHE SEEMED VERY CARED FOR HER STUDENTS, VERY REAL, AND I THINK I MADE A GREAT CHOICE. YOU CATCHED ONE GLOVE, SO GO TO THE BOX. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TWO GLOVES THAT ARE CONTAMINATED. NO, DIANO. ONE GLOVE FROM THE BOX ON THE WRIST. NORMAL. THE YOUNG PEOPLE’S PASSION RESULTS FROM HER OWN NURSING EXPERIENCE. HE ALSO KNOWS THAT THE SCHOOL IS NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE CRITICAL SHORTAGE OF HEALTH CARE WORKERS. IT WAS INSPIRED BY THE FIRST CNA SCHOOL OPENED IN WEST END LOUISVILLE. MAYBE 1-2 YEARS BEFORE I OPENED MY MIND HEALTH, ESSENTIAL HEALTH CARE. SINCE THAT TIME, SIMILAR SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN OPEN AND STILL ARE OPEN ALL OVER LOUISVILLE, ALL OWNED BY BLACK WOMEN. FOR YOUNG PEOPLE, IT’S FAR FROM A TREND, BUT A NECESSARY STEP TO FILL THE GAPS IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND SHAPE THE FUTURE SUCCESS OF STUDENTS. CNA IS TRUE AS A STEERING STEP FOR ANY CAREER IN HEALTH CARE. YOU KNOW YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE WITH THIS.
