OGDEN — Amanda Moore couldn’t stop smiling. The Ogden High School senior had just completed her clinical exams for her Certified Nursing Assistant certificate earlier in the day and said she enjoyed every minute of it. She felt her experience, in Brent Richardson’s CNA class at Ogden High School, was outstanding.

“It’s great to help people you know can’t do it by themselves,” she said of her clinical experience.

The class has been challenging, she said, but she has loved it. Moore plans to go to Weber State University this fall and to pursue a nursing degree.

BOUNTIFUL — Gaining real-world experience in the medical field is becoming easier for high school students in Davis School District as a result of a relatively new CNA certification program.

The Certified Nursing Assistant program is available at four high schools — Viewmont, Northridge, Davis and Syracuse. Viewmont is considered the magnet school for the semester-long program, as students from high schools without it are allowed to take the course there.

The program is currently in its second year of operation.

Bridgette Berkeley takes care of a patient in the ICU at Ogden Regional Medical Center recently. She graduated in July and says she knows she’s lucky to have gotten a job in her field so quickly. One thing that helped was that hospital officials knew her work ethic, as she worked as a secretary and a nursing assistant at the hospital while in school. (NICHOLAS DRANEY/Standard-Examiner)
