CNA Training (CNA), provided by Nightingale Healthcare Professionals, prepares the student for California Certification as a CNA. It is designed to provide the student with nursing theory, laboratory and clinical experience necessary to work as a CNA in a variety of health care settings. Instruction will be held at NHP and the clinical component will be held at community-based skilled nursing facilities.
Certified Nursing Assistants are health care professionals who work in a variety of health care settings. Job responsibilities include assisting with personal hygiene and grooming (for example, bathing, dressing, nail care), mobility (transferring, positioning, ambulation), nutritional and elimination needs (feeding, bedpans, emptying urine collection bags), comfort activities (back rubs, answering call lights, maintaining privacy), assessment and care planning (vital signs, collecting specimens, recording and reporting observations), safety and environmental cleanliness (keeping environment clean, maintaining infection control, caring for equipment), and miscellaneous tasks (transporting residents, delivering specimens, assisting with special procedures).
On completion of this course, the student meets California requirements to take the State Certification Exam for CNA’s. Basic nursing theory and skills are taught in the classroom and laboratory setting, and students are supervised in giving care to residents in the long-term care facility (nursing home). The focus of this course is on the care of the elderly resident. Course content follows the California State approved CNA curriculum.
CNA TRAINING COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is a 160-hour class for students who wish to work in an acute care or convalescent hospital, or a home care environment. Successful completion of the program will make students eligible to take the state certification exam, administered by a state-approved testing vendor. Upon passing the exam, students will be credentialed as a Certified Nurse Assistant by the California Department of Health Services. This 160 hours of training includes 60 hours of theory, classroom book learning; and 100 hours of practical, clinical application of skills.
