Abstract	As part of an evaluation of the effectiveness of its Certified Nursing Assistant Program, William Rainey Harper College (WRHC), in Illinois, conducted a follow-up study of program graduates from 1990-95. Surveys were mailed to 378 graduates to determine their employment situation, their evaluation of how beneficial their education was, and the degree to which they were continuing their education. Study findings, based on responses from 91 graduates, included the following: (1) 49.4 percent of respondents were working full-time, 36.3 percent were working part-time, and only 2.2 percent were unwillingly unemployed; (2) 65 percent were working in jobs closely related to their education; (3) when graduates began working, their mean annual full-time salary was $18,000, while their current mean salary was $20,900; (4) in general, graduates were highly satisfied with both the program and their fulfillment of course objectives; (5) 97.6 percent rated their present job performance as above average or excellent; and (5) 53.6% of the graduates expressed a need for continuing education, while 65 percent had already continued their education by enhancing their skills as a Nursing Assistant and 8 percent had worked towards becoming registered nurses. The survey instrument is appended. (TGI)
