Certified Nursing Assistants give patients social and emotional support, while also providing vital patient information to nurses, doctors and other medical staff. They work closely with patients providing basic nursing care, and helping with daily living tasks such as nutrition, bathing, dressing, elimination, and hygiene. CNAs provide extensive daily contact with patients and are the key to monitoring a patient’s condition.

Our Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) Training program will provide you with an excellent foundation for your CNA Career. We offer hands-on training, as well as classroom instruction, in a positive, encouraging atmosphere. The two week program uses three core learning methods: - Lectures in a classroom setting
- Lab practice
- Clinical experience at a local long term care facility
In the lab practicum, you'll practice skills on Ms. Kathelene & friends (the manikins). After successfully completing 16 hours in the lab practicum, you and your fellow students are eligible to go to the clinical rotation. Clinical rotation is done by a state certified instructor at a local long term care facility. Once you have successfully completed the program, you'll receive a certificate, making you eligible to take the state exam administered by Prometric. After passing the exam, you can officially use the title: CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant).
Certified Nursing Assistants are essential in the overall operations of any health care facility or home health care agency.
Healthcare occupations and industries are expected to have the fastest employment growth and to add the most jobs between 2014 and 2024, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
