MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) Medical experts say Georgia has had a nursing shortage long before the pandemic started.
“Definitely there’s a need for CNAs at hospitals, home healthcare agencies,” said nurse and instructor for Vision Nurse Aide Training Program Shandriyel Ben. “Because it’s a shortage of healthcare workers.”
As a registered nurse of 30 years, Ben says she offers a five-week certified nursing program. The course includes two weeks of online training and three weeks of hands-on training.
“It’s set up just like a hospital,” said Ben.
