New River Community and Technical College is offering a six-week certified nursing assistant (CNA) class at the Nicholas County Campus in Summersville starting January 3, 2022.
“This program is about giving students the best start in nursing to help them establish their career and to help the community as they apply what they learn in caring for others,” explained Instructor Michelle Johnson.

She has experience in surgical, medical surgical, cardiac care and geriatric care nursing and is currently working in clinical nursing with WVU Medicine.
