When my husband Phil’s colorectal cancer returned in

difficult balancing act. ..Continued

I worked as a CNA and as
a clerical person in
healthcare facilities for a
number of years, and now I
need guidance.
I've been out of
the normal work world for a
few years, taking care of
family members at home, and
now I need to return to
work. I first need to
know if my certification as
a CNA needs to be renewed
before I can work again,
and, if so, where I would
find a resource for
that? Also, can guide me to
educational resources which
teach healthcare clerical?
Thank you for your
help.
