Here’s What Our Students Say About Us




















"Hellen CNA School is the best ever!! Miss Hellen cares for all her students and reinforces that we all understand and are prepared for the CNA State Exam. As a full-time college student and completing the CNA program, it kept me busy. However, Miss Hellen worked with me and made sure I was not behind. I graduated from this CNA program, and passed the CNA State Exam with no problems! I strongly recommend if you want to become a CNA go to Hellen CNA School, you will learn all of the material in 4 weeks and you will pass it! Thank you Mama Hellen for believing in my fellow CNA classmates and me! You are so inspirational!"

"This review is a combined review from 4 of Helen’s former students. Let us tell you what to expect. Miss Helen is an RN who knows her stuff. She has a ton of knowledge to share and gives you in-depth analysis of how to properly care for residents. She can be stern at times, but it’s obvious she truly cares about her students. The class is fast passes so keep up, and make sure you study. I also recommend taking some time off work if possible. Take advantage of the time she gives you in class to practice the skills. We highly recommend signing up for her school. And if she offers you a bowl of her tasty soup, eat it all and clean and put away your dish ;) It was a pleasure getting to know Helen and her students. We are taking our test in 12 hours, wish us luck.
Update: So I have spoken to most of the students that took the class with me, everyone of us has passed. That speaks for itself. Sign up for her school and you will pass"

"I came here just wanting to become CNA/HHA, not knowing Ms. Hellen would soon inspire me to go further in my nursing career. If you are looking to not only pass your board exam for CNA license, but to also get more knowledge in this area of nursing that I truly believe no other school will give you, than Trident School of Nursing is the place you want to make sure you attend to do that."

"Honestly, I'm very happy to find out school for CNA and HHA from Mrs. Hellen, I love her class she teaches me a lot from CNA, HHA and I learned so much from her class. I'm the first generation in the medical field of my family. Also, we have to go to clinical training on weekend two location. I will move forward higher education to nursing school to come to BSN."
