Certified Nurses Assistant Classes
Classes starting in 2009
Certified nursing assistants (CNAs), also known as nurses aides, orderlies, patient care technicians,
and home health aides, work under the supervision of a nurse and provide assistance to patients with daily living tasks.
Working closely with patients, a CNA is responsible for basic care services such as bathing, grooming and feeding patients,
assisting nurses with medical equipment, and checking patient vital signs. CNAs give patients
important social and emotional support and also provide vital information on patient conditions to nurses.
Since aides have extensive daily contact with each patient, they are key to providing vital
information on the patients' conditions to the nurse.
Most CNAs work in nursing homes, hospitals, mental health facilities, assisted living facilities,
and private homes. Job prospects for CNAs are expected to be excellent due to the increasing
long-term care needs of an aging population. While the job of a CNA is difficult sometimes, it is
also one of the most rewarding challenges that a person in the healthcare industry can undertake.
Intended Audience:
Anyone interested in becoming a CNA. This includes persons with or without previous experience in the healthcare field.
Prospective students of the Certified Nurses Assistant program are considered to be dedicated and
hard working individuals with a strong desire and willingness to help those in need. Students
will be expected to work as a team along side other professionals, and to continue their growth
through continuing education and training.
Initial Course Length: 3 Weeks Full Time
