Smyrna resident, Savannah Britain, graduated high school a year early and really didn’t know what she wanted to do with her career and her future.  After discovering the Red Cross Nurse Assistant Training course advertised online, she attended the weekly information session the very next week at the Nashville Area Chapter of the American Red Cross.  A Ford scholarship recipient, Britain maintained straight A’s throughout the entire course.

“I am so proud and excited to work in the medical field and I hope that once I get a job as a Certified Nurse Assistant, I can begin to save money to go to nursing school to become a Registered Nurse,” said Britain.  “I have found my calling thanks to this program and I am so grateful to the Red Cross and my instructors for making this possible!”

Britain graduated in the May 2014 class for the Red Cross Nurse Assistant Training course in Nashville along with six other classmates.
