This course follows the guidelines of the Kansas State Department for Aging and disability services, which is followed by taking the Kansas State Certified Nurse Aide examination, which we make sure you are prepared for by that date. CNA’s are always under supervision of a licensed nurse. The course is 90 clock hours which involves lectures, discussions, skills practice in our learning lab, and a clinical experience in a nursing home.
CNAs assist with basic nursing and personal care, such as taking temperature or blood pressure, feeding and bathing patients, and filling the role of a general caregiver. Nursing assistants often work in various settings such as nursing homes, hospitals, adult day care centers, personal homes and assisted living facilities.
