Entering the medical field by becoming a certified nurse aide is a great option for those looking to get started in health care. This profession is increasing in demand not only in this state, but is others as well. Compared to other courses that are available, training to become a nurse aide is less time consuming and a lot cheaper. It can also be a great stepping stone if you want to gain experience and achieve a higher degree. You can study advance degrees such as GNA, home health aide, and CMA and work toward a degree in nursing.
With its increasing demand, more and more facilities are now offering nursing assistant training programs. Depending on the type of program you enroll in, your training can last from 4 to 8 weeks. When you graduate from a state approved program, you will have a total of 100 hours of training and will be able to take on the license exams. Passing all the tests in the license exams will get your name on the Registry and will allow you to work in care facilities and hospitals.
