Fort Worth's healthcare system is built around two major pillars. Texas Health Resources is the largest faith-based, not-for-profit health system in Texas, operating 29 hospitals across the DFW metroplex. JPS Health Network is Tarrant County's only public safety-net hospital and sole Level I Trauma Center.

For CNAs, the demand is very high: Tarrant County has seen a 33% decline in certified nursing assistants, even as its population of residents aged 65 and older — approximately 288,000 people representing nearly 13% of the county's 2.23 million residents per U.S. Census data — continues to expand at one of the fastest rates in the nation.

A certified nursing assistant (CNA) — also called a nurse aide — assists registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) with patient care duties. CNAs work in a variety of settings: most are employed in nursing care facilities and assisted living facilities. They may also work in physicians' offices, hospitals, and home health situations.

The work of a CNA is physically and emotionally demanding. You'll be required to perform tasks such as bathing patients, moving them from place to place, and monitoring their vital signs. However, many certified nursing assistants find that this type of work is also deeply rewarding.
