Jaime Arias, Owner of Florida CNA Online
Jaime Arias has owned and run Florida CNA Online since 2020. He writes and maintains the guides on this site that walk students through Florida's CNA state exam: the Prometric application, fingerprinting, costs, timelines, retakes, and what comes after the license. Pages he writes carry the byline "Written by Jaime Arias."
Who is Jaime Arias?
Jaime took over Florida CNA Online in 2020, twelve years after the course first came online, and he came to it with a personal connection to the work. His mom was a pediatrician who spent her career taking care of other people. In 2018 she had a stroke, and the roles reversed: CNAs became the most important part of her daily life, helping her eat, get dressed, and maintain her dignity. Seeing firsthand how much CNAs matter is why he runs this course today.
Jaime holds an MBA from Harvard Business School. On this site, though, his expertise is the process, not the bedside. The clinical side of this site, the skills videos and the step-by-step skills guides, is developed and medically reviewed by Magalys Herrera Perez, Licenciada en Enfermeria. That split is deliberate: you get the process from the person who handles it every day, and the clinical content from a trained nurse educator.
What does Jaime write about?
Jaime personally answers thousands of student support emails a year, in English and Spanish, and gets on three-way calls with Prometric and fingerprinting vendors when a student gets stuck. That support inbox is where this site's guides come from: the questions students actually ask become pages like our CNA exam and job information guide and our walkthrough on how to become a CNA in Florida.
His writing covers the procedural side of becoming a CNA in Florida: the Prometric application, exam fees and rescheduling, Livescan fingerprinting and background checks, license timelines and renewals, and the Florida CNA job market.
How does Jaime keep information accurate?
Facts are verified against primary sources before publishing: the Florida Board of Nursing, the Prometric Florida CNA program, and the Florida Statutes. The course and the site's guides are updated after every Prometric exam update and state form change, a practice this business has kept since 2008. If you find something out of date, email [email protected] and we will fix it.
