Read Landmark's patient-care requirements before choosing classes

Landmark Medical Center is a Woonsocket healthcare employer. Its published CNA duties connect classroom skills with hospital work.

A Landmark Medical Center CNA posting, reviewed October 27, 2026, describes medical-surgical care in Woonsocket. Duties include helping patients with daily activities and providing basic care under a registered nurse's supervision. The posting requires a current CNA certificate and BLS, plus knowledge of medical terminology. It lists prior acute-care or physician-office experience as preferred.

Use those details to ask a CNA program about clinical practice, terminology and CPR preparation. Review the employer's current schedule and requirements again when you are ready to work. A course completion date alone does not establish that you meet every condition in a hospital posting.
