The students in the Jackson Parish Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program, taught by Ms. Leslie Duck, recently completed their clinical rotation at Forest Haven Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Jonesboro.

The future medical professionals not only performed essential clinical skills and developed hands-on skills and communication abilities, but also assisted residents with various activities—something they genuinely loved being a part of.

The Jackson Parish CNA program extends a special thank-you to Mrs. Sandra Billings and her wonderful team at Forest Haven for their guidance and support throughout this experience.

The students are now gearing up for their state exam. All of their hard work throughout the year—from ADL training to learning about PPE and infection control, as well as becoming CPR-certified—has prepared them for this important next step.
