Nurse Assistant Training – Free Training for Service Members & Veterans

Together the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) and American Red Cross will offer Red Cross Nurse Assistant Training (NAT) scholarships through local Red Cross offices that currently offer an authorized Red Cross NAT course.

Who is eligible?

Through this partnership, the Red Cross and Wounded Warrior Project will support wounded, ill or injured service members/veterans who incur or incurred service-connected wounds, injuries and illnesses (physical and psychological) on or after September 11, 2001. Support also extends to the immediate family members or caregivers of eligible service members.

Nurse Assistant Training Courses

The Red Cross Nurse Assistant Training Program (NAT) provides Wounded Warriors, immediate family members and caregivers with the information and skills they need to become certified nurse assistants (CNA).  After completing the course and passing a state certification exam, nurse assistants have skills that provide them with employment opportunities in a variety of health care environments, including long-term care facilities, acute care facilities and in-home health care environments.
