A certified nursing assistant (CNA), also known as a nurse aide, takes care of patients' basic needs, including bathing and feeding, and provides support to other medical professionals. 

Certified nursing assistant courses are typically offered through short-term, state-approved programs that may lead to a certificate.  Our CNA course includes a combination of lectures and laboratory practice. After completing their courses, students complete supervised clinical work through an externship at a long-term medical care facility. Graduates have to pass their state competency exam to get the title of CNA.

Here is a list of the concepts learned in the CNA course:

• Activities of daily living (ADLs)
• Vital Signs
• Incident reporting
• Patient rights
• Long-term care
