Faia Stevenson, founder of Better Options School of Nursing – Where our story begins- a nurse educator and advocate with over 10 years of hands-on experience. Her journey starts as a caregiver, where she saw firsthand the difference a skilled and compassionate certified nursing assistant (CNA) can make in a patient’s life. The realization stays with her as she now owns an adult family home, specializing in respiratory care, and later inspired her to launch a CNA school in Vancouver, WA.
Today Faia’s objective is simple: to train exceptional CNAs who provide not just care, but dignity & comfort to patients in need. Better Options School of Nursing is built on the belief that great healthcare begins with great education.
Under her leadership, Our CNA program blends:
Expertise: Taught by nurses who’ve been where you are going.

Accessibility: A supportive path to a career that changes lives – including yours.
Join a school that cares about your future as much as you’ll care for your patients.
