Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA)

Abstract

Certified Nurse Assistant��_�s perform basic nursing skills to care for clients in a long-term care facility, hospitals and/or through home health agencies. Although in a hybrid format, this class meets the classroom requirements (75 hours) of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services requirements for Certified Nurse Assistants and teaches entry level skills for the hospital. According to East Central College, a Web Hybrid Course meeting time is reduced by a maximum of 50%; remainder of course is taught as an on-line class. Students will be required to attend class meetings on a regular, scheduled basis; scheduled class meeting times will be published in advance. Simultaneously, students will need to complete their clinical training (100 hours of on- the- job training in a long-term care facility) Thirty of the 100 hours of clinical are to be completed with an assigned Clinical Instructor.
