National Medical Academy offers the newest medical training program specializing in Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Training. CNA classes are a full-fledged course that has been recently licensed by the state, which allows any individual to succeed in the field of health care. 

National Medical Academy

Designed by the industry professionals, the Nurse Aide Training Programs offered by National Medical Academy will mold individuals into health care professionals, particularly directed to the path of nurse assisting – be it in major hospitals, health care centers or assisted living settings. 

In addition to that, National Medical Academy is focused on the system of Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Training and thus, individuals who want to be involved in the health care industry can now obtain the CNA certification through their Nurse Aide Training Programs. 

National Medical Academy, moreover, encourages individuals to opt for taking up a course as highly needed as Nurse Assistant Training nowadays. There is truthfulness to the fact that the health care industry does not substantially function without the help of certified nurse assistants (CNA). What's more, the United States appears to increase demands for nurse assistants every year and that makes nurse assisting one of the most in demand jobs that there are, not to mention that the compensation is relatively good.

In the News: pothole money, charter school expansion

As announced in the Milford Daily News, Franklin will receive $140,000. This will help to offset the snow/ice budget which exceeded its amount by $500,000.

As part of a $30 million release, the state gave area towns an average of $100,000 each to fix potholes caused by this winter’s extreme conditions. The apportionment numbers for Gov. Charlie Baker’s Winter Recovery Assistance Program were released late Friday. 

Franklin and Milford received $140,000 and $122,000, respectively. On the low side, Hopedale received $26,000 and Mendon received $41,000. 

Though the funds come out of a separate account, they follow the Chapter 90 formula, which fuses municipal road miles and population to come up with a fair price.

As announced here earlier, the Charter School has selected Daedalus as the project manager for their expansion project.

“Our ultimate priority is to stay here in Franklin,” said Heather Zolnowski, the head of school. “If not, we’re looking for somewhere as close to where we are now as possible.” 

Over the next decade the school plans to increase enrollment by 450 students. Already, prospective students from Attleboro, Bellingham, Blackstone, Holliston, Hopedale, Medway, Mendon-Upton, Milford, Millis, Norfolk, Plainville, Walpole and Wrentham have the same opportunity to enroll at the school as those from Franklin. 

The school will not expand the number of seats offered until after it has moved, and a timetable has not been finalized.

LETTER TO EDITOR: PARCC is Failing Teachers and Students | Framingham, MA Patch

A group of Framingham elementary school teachers have written a Letter to the Editor that was published in the Framingham Patch:

As teachers we cannot stay silent as PARCC makes its way into our classrooms.

In the words of Soujourner Truth at the 1851 Women’s Convention, “Where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter.” Nationally, we’re hearing a racket about the problem of standardized tests driving instruction, knocking the process of education clearly out of kilter. Here are a few reasons why: 

1. Test Prep takes time away from REAL Reading, Writing and Math Instruction.

"instructing its attorney to draft a favorable decision"

The 280 unit apartment complex touted for the Bellingham end of RT 140 apparently is going through. 70 of the 280 units would be available as affordable housing.

“We’ve tried to be very responsive to every concern and issues that has been raised,” said Mark Vaughn, the attorney for the project. 

The developer also had to make concessions for a historical structure on the site — the fifth oldest property in town, according to the Historical Commission. The commission will allow Acme Jazz to demolish the existing structure, but requested a marker signifying the historical importance of the property. 

Early on, town officials in Franklin and Bellingham (the development sits near the border between the two communities) were concerned about increased traffic on Rte. 140. 

In response, Acme Jazz agreed to widen the roadway for a new westbound left-turn lane for vehicles entering the site. And the developer pledged to extend the sidewalk on the south side of Rte. 140 into Bellingham and build a new sidewalk at the entrance to the property.
