YAYA Medical Training Institute, was founded to provide training and certification preparation for Certified Nurse Aide candidates. YAYA noticed the need for competent nurse aides to join the increasing demand of nurse assistants in the hospital settings and long term care facilities. Our goal is to prepare our students to be competent nursing assistants that are knowledgeable and safe, have a caring attitude, and are able to provide excellent nursing care. Yaya is a Swahili word that means “nanny”, and although a nurse assistant is not a nanny, the essence of nursing were borne out of home care giving.
