“I am so proud to be a student at DHTI, giving me a path to my nursing career. I participated in the Caregiver course, just wanted to learn some basic health care skills since I am taking care of my 86 years old father. This course is amazing because it takes you by the hands and teaches you the care skills, step by step. The course is well structured so it is easy to get inspired, implemented the techniques, and it provoked my interest to the nursing career. I have been engaging in business field for more than 30 years and never think of being a nurse before I met DHTI.

I have no experience and knowledge of a nurse job and a little hesitate to start, thanks for the encouragement and support from DHTI, enrolled me to the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) class about a month ago, I understand this is an valuable opportunity and I must cherish. After a month of hard studying and skills practicing in a long term care facility, I graduated yesterday. In addition, I also got my certificate for BLS/CPR training. I am going to take the State test and there are two care facilities already invited me to join them once I finished my State test. I will further pursue my nursing education by attending the HHA (Home Health Aide) course to widen my career path in nursing. Again, thanks so much for the support from DHTI and their staff, without them I would not able to achieve my goal.”

“I am originally from Afghanistan, and I earned my nursing degree from Kabul Nursing College. I also served as a nurse and nurse supervisor at a hospital in my home country, accumulating over 16 years of experience. However, since my arrival in the United States in 2021, I have been uncertain about how to transition into my nursing career here. I am writing to express my deep gratitude for the DHTI-CNA training program, which has helped me find the right path to pursue my professional goals.

This training opportunity has proven to be immensely beneficial for my current career aspirations, and the support provided by DHTI in processing documentation has been invaluable. I am also excited to learn about DHTI's support to help me pursue my RN credentials and their dedication to offer diverse training opportunities.

DHTI stands out in its communication with students, ensuring easy accessibility, providing timely updates, and offering responsive support. Their transparent policies, feedback mechanisms, and personalized guidance create a positive and supportive learning environment. The CNA training offered by DHTI is making a significant impact by preparing individuals to provide healthcare services in a variety of health centers, catering to people from diverse cultures and languages in California.

I would like to share a recent experience where I had the opportunity to communicate with a patient who spoke Farsi. She expressed that when I communicated with her in her native language, it felt like receiving the perfect prescription for her distress. Experiences like this drive my enthusiasm as I continue working as a CNA and remain dedicated to achieving my ultimate goal of becoming a Registered Nurse.

I truly appreciate that DHTI has created this opportunity, and the unwavering support and dedication of their team mean the world to me.”
