Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Program 

The CNA Program prepares students with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform basic care services for a patient in an acute care setting or a resident in a long-term care setting. The program trains students to function in the role of nursing assistant under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN). Students will learn the full spectrum of patient care, including gathering vital medical information, maintaining a safe, clean environment, assisting patients with daily activities, and communicating vital health information about a patient's condition to the licensed nurse. It provides classroom instruction and hands-on skills training to prepare students to take the state certification exam. The program includes 48 hours of classroom instruction, 24 hours of in-person lab skills check off, and 16 hours of clinical training for a total of 88 clock hours.
