Your fist step in becoming a nursing assistant is passing a state-approved CNA training program. You can find these programs being offered by colleges, high schools, and some healthcare centers. Being a nursing assistant student means that you must spend 75 hours of classes and 100 hours of skills training in order to complete the program. You will have the opportunity to experience what it is like to work in an actual health care setting. This experience will forge a great foundation for you and your fellow student.
While being enrolled in the program, you will be taught in the different concepts on the Fundamentals for Nursing. Such concepts include infection control, mental health, rehabilitation, communication skills, and indirect care. You will also be taught in different procedures and skills that you will be using in taking care of the patients like bed bath, offering bedpans, assisting in ambulation, dressing, performing ROM exercises, as well as the simpler procedures like hand washing.
The skills that you will learn will be tested during 2nd part of the certification license exams. You will be rated based on the different checkpoints that must be performed for each skill. To pass the 2nd part of the examinations, you have to successfully perform all skills. To get your license, you must also pass the first part of the exams, which is the written exam. You can also request to have an oral examination if you prefer it more than the written exam.
