One of the ways to become a nursing assistant in the state of North Carolina is by enrolling first in a CNA training class. By completing a class that is approved by the class, you will be able to challenge the license exams. For your training to count, the class must be approved by the state’s Department of Human and Health Services.
State-approved training consists of 75 hours that are divided into lectures and practical training. You will be trained in different concepts of the Fundamentals of Nursing. You will learn about different skills such as how to promote the patient’s health, prevent infection, respect the patient’s rights and independence, and help in daily activities. Unlike registered nurses, the tasks that a nursing assistant may do are limited. Their care for the patients are limited to the following general task:
1. Personal care
2. Body mechanics
3. Nutrition
4. Elimination
5. Safety
6. Special procedures such as monitoring vital signs and taking height and weight of the patient.
The tasks that a nursing assistant are allowed to do are those tasks that are frequently done to the patient, can be done with an expected outcome, those that do not include on-gong assessments or decision-making that cannot be separated with the task, and task that do not place the patient in any harm.
If the nursing assistant wants to increase the number or change the types of procedures that he can do, he can become a nursing assistant II. Becoming a nursing assistant II will require additional training and passing the nursing assistant II license exams. The list of nursing assistant II tasks can be found on this page: http://www.ncbon.com/content.aspx?id=828&linkidentifier=id&itemid=828.
Both license exams consist of two portions. This is commonly a written exam and a skills demonstration of the skills that were taught during training. The written exams are also offered in an oral form. This is for those who have problems with written English. To get an oral exam, the candidate must submit a letter of request when he applies. To get a license, the candidate must be able to pass all the parts.
