To ensure that the residents/patients receive high quality care from the nursing assistants, it is required by the state for those aspiring CNAs to enroll in and complete a Nurse Aide Training Program that is certified by the state. The Georgia Medical Care Foundation or GMCF oversees and certifies all NATPs and competency exams in this state.

Certified programs will offer their students a minimum of 85 hours of training, where 24 of it will be for clinical duties. Their training will be composed of classroom lessons, laboratory skills training, and clinical rotations. A student will not be allowed to proceed into clinical rotations if the student does not get a 100% rating in the lab. It takes an approximately 2 to 6 months to finish a certified program.

During instruction you will practice basic nursing skills. Some of the tasks you will utilize are: communication skills, emergency protocols, infection control measures, taking and recording vital signs, measuring height/weight, recognizing changes in body function, caring for the health care environment, nourishment, bathing, dressing, and performing range of motion exercises.

After completing the program, the student must then apply for the license exam. If the applicant passes, his/her name will be entered in the state’s Nurse Aide Registry. They must maintain their name there to be eligible to apply for jobs as a nursing assistant. You can contact the Georgia Nurse Aide Registry at (800) 414-4358, or locally at (678) 527-3010 to get additional certification details and information.
