These are national occupational statistics, not Texas-specific wages, starting salaries or DMS graduate outcomes. Median means half of workers earned more and half earned less. Pay varies by experience, employer and location. Projected growth is an estimate, not a guarantee of employment.

From certification to your first job
Passing the exam is the start, not the finish. We stay with you until you're ready to walk into your first shift.
Practice until it's second nature
Our RN-led team has you repeat each skill hands-on until you're confident — not just until a checklist is signed.
Become a Texas Certified Nurse Aide
