DESCRIPTION

Nursing Assistants are on the front lines of the country’s healthcare system, providing direct patient care in every setting – from hospitals to nursing homes. The training to become a certified nursing assistant (CNA) is relatively short and allows students an opportunity to start their careers in a matter of weeks.

The CNA provides day-to-day, hands-on, patient care – assisting with routine daily activities, such as walking, eating, bathing, and using the restroom. CNAs improve the overall quality of life of those suffering from chronic conditions, old age, and injuries.

Note: If you fail either the Florida clinical skills or written CNA state exam at least three (3) times, you must complete a full 120-hour board-approved CNA training program (which is not this course) and retake both parts of the exam.

OBJECTIVES

The objective of this course is to prepare students for employment as nursing assistants in long-term care facilities, clinics, home care, and hospitals. Students learn to identify and meet basic patient care needs for safety, vital signs, comfort, and activities of daily living.

Also, this course prepares the students to fulfill the role of the Nursing Assistant and to be eligible to challenge the nursing assistant examination in the State of Florida to get certified and be more competitive in the workplace market.
