Nursing is one of the most exciting and challenging careers that an individual can pursue. As a vocational nurse, you will provide physical and emotional care to residents. You will assist with medical and minor surgical procedures. Other duties include assessing, recording, and reporting vital signs, and responding to medical emergencies. Whichever path you pursue, CDI guarantees you will be prepared for success.
Former CDI student, Ashley Morales graduated a few years ago and has found a career path that is specifically her own, “I didn’t know what to do with my life, but then I came to CDI and found a nurturing group of professionals that gave me the proper tools to succeed. Now I’m working and supporting my family, but also feeling really great about myself and what I do for others in the world.”
We understand that you have to balance your priorities in your day-to-day life; therefore, we offer classes part time, so you can work full time.
