Nurse Assistant
A nurse assistant is one who completes an educational program and can be eligible to take an exam. Once the exam is passed the nurse assistant becomes a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA). The CNA will provide activities of daily living such as, teeth and mouth care, eating, bathing, dressing, walking, and assisting someone out of bed and into a chair for the healthcare client. The CNA will assist the healthcare client with memory/physical exercises to maintain their level of ability. They may seek and receive employment in assisted living facilities, long term care facilities, home care, adult care centers.
This one-quarter program typically meets Monday through Thursday evening with the possibility of day clinicals. Applications will be accepted on a first-come-first-serve basis. Once the program is full, there will be a waitlist for that quarter. Students on the waitlist that are not admitted into the program will need to reapply for the following quarter.
