Meet the Authors

Every article on CNAJobPath.com is written or reviewed by someone who has worked in healthcare directly. Not someone who has read about it. The three people below are a working CNA, a former CNA now licensed as an LPN, and a career advisor who spent years coordinating state-approved CNA training programs. Here is who they are.

How we handle accuracy

Every article on CNAJobPath.com goes through two people before it is published. The author who writes it has direct experience in the area being covered. A second contributor reviews it for factual accuracy and completeness. The reviewer is noted in the byline of each article.

Salary figures come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook. State-specific license requirements are verified against state nursing board websites and updated when rules change. If you find something that is out of date or incorrect, the fastest path to fixing it is to email us directly.

We do not sell advertising, accept sponsored content, or receive referral fees from training programs. The people writing here are paid for their time and expertise, not for which programs or employers they mention.
