We need to explore all avenues possible to provide the quality workforce we will need in the not-too-distant future.  Our CNA students need exposure to a wider variety of work-based learning environments.  We appreciate being able to assist our geriatric population but there is so much more that these students need to be exposed to and be familiar with.  Please consider lifting restrictions on age requirements.  Create incentives for the healthcare industry that will encourage them to become involved in these programs as well.
