Who We Are

The Stephanie Nursing Academy (TSNA) is a state-approved healthcare training school based in Antelope Valley, California. We are proudly certified by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to provide comprehensive CNA training that meets the highest standards in the state.

Our mission is simple: to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to succeed as Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). But what truly sets us apart is our story and the heart behind our name.

Our Why: Honoring Stephanie

The school is named in memory of Stephanie, a beloved sister, daughter, and friend whose life continues to inspire everything we do. The photo you see on this page is Stephanie. She passed away too soon, but her legacy lives on through this academy.

Stephanie’s journey through the healthcare system revealed just how critical compassionate care truly is. Her experience made it clear that being a nurse or any healthcare professional is not just about skills, but about empathy, dignity, and heart. TSNA was founded to raise up caregivers who lead with compassion, just as Stephanie would have wanted.

At TSNA, we teach from the heart because we believe that compassion is the foundation of exceptional care.
