CNA Programs In Florida

If you’re looking into CNA programs in Florida, then there are a few important facts you need to know about CNA training and certification in the state, before you make a final decision. Read on to find out more about who can qualify as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Florida (and how) as well as career prospects, and more.

What Are the Requirements for Florida CNA Training Programs?

Florida is one of the few states where taking a state approved training program is not the only way to qualify as a CNA.

There are state approved CNA or nurses aide training programs that are run by community colleges and other institutions, and recommended by the Health Department, but you can choose to take an alternative route to qualification.

One option is to ‘challenge’ the CNA exam. This means that you take the CNA certification exam without approved training. If you pass the exam, you will be included on the register of certified nurses aides. You do need to be 18 years or older, and be in possession of a high school diploma or GED to choose this option. Another option is to train as a nurses aid in a nursing home, and then take the Florida CNA exam.

Finally, Certified Nursing Assistants from other states, who are certified and in good standing in their state can apply for what is known as ‘reciprocity’, where the Florida Board of Nursing allows you to work in the state based on your out of state qualifications.

What Is the Florida CNA Registry?

Every CNA who wants to work in Florida, must be certified, and registered on the Florida CNA Registry. This is a list of qualified nurses aides, who have passed the exam, and who are in good standing. The list is administered by the Florida Department of Health Board of Nursing.

Can You Work As a CNA If You Are Not Registered?

The Florida Department of Health allows trainee and candidate Certified Nurse Assistants, who have not yet completed their training, or have not taken the certification exam, to work for up to 120 days without being registered. This allows trainee nursing assistants in Florida to start earning before they have completed their studies – but they still have to pass the exam to continue working!

What Other Options Are There?

In Florida, a CNA is not your only option, if you want to work as a nursing assistant. A CNA in Florida will work with very basic patient care – feeding, washing or bathing, taking vital signs and other basic care. There is, however, also another type of nurses assistant, known as a Patient Care Technician (PCT), that requires more intensive training, but qualifies the trainee to perform more in depth medical functions as an assistant to a Registered Nurse (RN) or a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).

Whether you choose CNA training or PCT Training in Florida, the career prospects are good, job opportunities are plentiful, and salaries are relatively high, in comparison to the training and certification requirements.

CNA Programs in Alabama

If you live in Alabama, love working with and helping people, and would like to find a job that allows you to do that, then there is a good chance you might already have considered looking for Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) schools in Alabama.

Read on, and discover more about training, certification, and registration as a CNA or nurse’s aid in Alabama, as well as career prospects, CNA salaries in Alabama, and other useful facts.

Nurses Aide Training Programs in Alabama

In Alabama, a CNA is also known as a nurse’s aide, and most of the training programs you will find are referred to using that term.

When you are looking for nursing assistant training programs in the state of Alabama, remember that you need to find a school that is approved by the Alabama Department of Health, if you want your qualification to be recognised by the state. Most of the approved CNA training courses in Alabama are run by community colleges, the Red Cross, or some of the larger nursing facilities, so start your search there.

How Can You Tell If a CNA Training Program in Alabama Is Approved?

The content of the approved nurse’s aide training programs in Alabama is governed by the OBRA (Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act.) This act dictates that within the training course, which is usually around twelve weeks long, seventy-five hours of specified training materials are covered.

All approved courses will cover CPR, basic patient care, basic clinical nursing, terminology related to medicine, medical administration and facility management skills, and other critical facets of the nurses aides’ job,

Do You Qualify to Train as a Nurses Aide In Alabama?

You do not need to have a high school diploma or GED to take a CNA training course in Alabama. In fact, you can complete your training while you are still in high school. There are also free training options in the state, through nursing facilities, where you receive training free, but pledge a predetermined number of hours work to the institution in exchange for the cost of your studies. If you do have to pay for CNA training in Alabama, the cost is currently around $1000 for a typical, approved 12-week course.

Undergoing CNA training is not the final step to becoming a nurse’s aide in Alabama.

In most cases, although you can take the course while you are still in high school, you will not be hired as a nurse’s aide in Alabama until you are 18 years old.

You also need to ensure that within 24 months of successfully completing your CNA training, you take the NNAAP exam, or the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program, whether you are already working, or whether you plan to work later on.

Once you have completed the exam, you should be included on the Alabama Nurse Aide Registry, which is run by the Alabama Department of Public Health. That registration ensures that you can legally work for any employer in Alabama.

Alabama CNA Salary

Considering the minimal amount of training involved in qualifying as a CNA or nurse’s aide in Alabama, the salary range that you can expect is quite respectable. New entrants to the job market can expect to earn anything from around $15,000 to $25,000 or even a little more than that. Just remember that what you earn will depend on which city or town you work in, and on the institution you work for itself.

You may also find that once you have qualified, and are working as a CNA, you choose to develop your skills further. Starting out as a nurse’s aide is a great way to get involved in the nursing or medical field, in Alabama or anywhere else, and it can be a stepping stone to other careers in the field.

CNA Programs In Alaska

If you’re looking for CNA programs in Alaska, then you’re making a good career choice. An increase in the number of assisted living facilities in the state, combined with an aging population, means that it’s now quicker (and easier) to find a job once you’re a qualified Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)  than ever. Let’s take a look at how you go from thinking about it to working in the field though.

CNA Training In Alaska

In order to become a CNA or nurse’s aide in Alaska, you will need to undergo a state-approved training program. The courses are run by state training bodies, colleges, and hospitals, so you have plenty of options when it comes to where to study.

Wherever you do choose to study though, you will be required to complete the same course content. That content consists of 140 hours of study, 60 of which are classroom-based, and the remainder of which will be practical, clinical training.

What Does the Alaskan CNA Training Program Cover?

The course content of the Alaskan CNA training program is comprehensive, and ranges from basic nursing skills, like taking blood pressure correctly, to caring for patients with degenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s. Once completed, trainees will be able to competently assist an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) or RN (Registered Nurse), administer care to patients, be able to monitor a patient’s condition, and perform many other practical and administrative functions. Being a Certified Nursing Assistant is a hands-on job, and this course prepares you for that.

Do You Qualify to Train As a CNA?

In Alaska, there’s no hard and fast rule about who can study to be a CNA. Some training facilities will let you do your training while you are still in high school, while others will require that you are 18 years old, and/or have a high school diploma before you start.

It’s therefore a good idea to ask several different training facilities what their admission requirements for their CNA programs are, and to make sure at the same time that they are state accredited.

How Do You Become a Registered CNA in Alaska?

To become a registered CNA in Alaska (a requirement if you plan to work in the state) you will need to pass the nurse’s aide competency exam, which is run by the state, and which you can take through Pearson VUE. Once you’ve passed that, you will be included on the Alaska Nurse’s Aid Registry, and that allows you to work as a CNA anywhere in Alaska.

What Does an Alaskan CNA Earn?

As we’ve already mentioned, there’s a growing demand for qualified, registered Certified Nursing Assistants in Alaska, and thanks to that demand, salaries in the state are particularly high. The average salary for a CNA in Alaska is around $31,000, which is well above the national average. This career option also has an over 35% growth rate, so there are likely to be plenty of positions to choose from.

So whether you plan to work as a CNA permanently, or are looking for a career that you can use as a stepping stone, or to pay the bills while you train to become an RN, this is a particularly good choice in Alaska.

CNA Programs in Arizona

With salaries ranging from around $17,000 to well over $30,000 per annum, and with the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) field being a definite growth area in Arizona, it’s no wonder so many people are looking for CNA programs in Arizona.

Before you make a decision about whether this is the career for you, and book a course, however, there are a few things you should know about being a CNA in Arizona.

CNA Training in Arizona

Before you can become a CNA in Arizona, you need to complete an Arizona State Nursing Board approved nursing assistant program. This program comprises 120 hours of prescribed training, in a variety of competencies, ranging from basic first aid and patient care, to medical terminology and infection control.

Training covers both practical and theoretical knowledge, which means that when you have completed the course, you should be able to handle any CNA position that you choose.

It’s important to note that you can only work as a CNA in Arizona once you have completed a post training exam, but you can usually take that exam very soon after you have completed your training.

Where Can You Get CNA Training in Arizona?

Like many other states, there are a variety of CNA training options in Arizona. You could train at a college, a hospital or through an independent training company – just make sure whichever one you choose is state approved.

Most CNA training course are around 12 weeks long in Arizona, and while most employers won’t consider applicants who are not yet 18 years old, there are training programs that you can take while you are still in high school if you choose to. This is a particularly popular choice for people who are considering becoming state licensed nurses later on.

Where Can You Work As a CNA in Arizona?

Once you have completed your training, you will need to work under the supervision of an Registered Nurse (RN), or a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), but there are several employment options.

You could work in a hospice, assisted living facilities, as a home carer, or in a hospital. There are also long term care facilities, clinics and other medical facilities that hire Certified Nursing Assistants in Arizona. There are facilities in every major city and town, so it’s entirely likely that once you complete your training, you can find work anywhere in the state.

Why Choose to Become a CNA?

If you’re wondering whether a CNA training program in Arizona is the right career choice for you, there are several issues you should consider.

Firstly, do you enjoy working with and helping people? Are you interested in the medical field? Are you looking for a career where minimal training can set you up for a relatively well paid job? If your answer is yes to all of those, then becoming a CNA in Arizona may well be a good choice for you, particularly since there are a growing number of employment opportunities in the field.

CNA Programs in Arkansas

If you’re looking into Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) programs in Arkansas, then there are several important things you need to know before you make any decisions.

The first thing you should know is that in Arkansas, a CNA is also known as a Patient Care Technician (PCT).

Who Qualifies for CNA Training In Arkansas?

If you want to train as a patient care technician or CNA in Arkansas, you don’t necessarily have to have a high school diploma or GED. Some of the training programs will accept people who are still in high school, or who did not complete it.

However, if you plan to work as a CNA in Arkansas once you are qualified and certified, you will probably need to prove that you are 18, and that you have a GED or high school diploma. Those are usually prerequisites to being hired as a CNA in the state.

What Does CNA Training in Arkansas Entail?

Like most other states, the Arkansas CNA training program incorporates several different proficiencies, including learning to take patient vital signs, changing dressings, monitoring patients, administrative skills and more.

Training covers both practical and theoretical issues related to working as a CNA, and because most Arkansas employers require you to know CPR, most courses include CPR training and certification.

Training courses last several weeks, and once you have completed your chosen course, you will still need to take the state competency exam, which is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, before you can work as a CNA.

As with most states’ CNA training programs, the amount of training required before you can start working and earning is relatively low, so if you would like to pursue a career in the medical field, buy can’t afford college right now, this may just be the stepping stone you’re looking for.

Where Can You Train as a CNA in Arkansas?

Like most other states, most community colleges in Arkansas offer CNA training. Several other governmental and non governmental organisations also offer training however, as well as some nursing homes and hospitals, and while most courses will cost you money, there are some that you can take for free.

What Are the Career Prospects for a CNA in Arkansas?

The State of Arkansas has identified Certified Nursing Assistants as one of the careers in Arkansas with long term growth potential. In fact, at present, they expect more than 20% growth in employment opportunities, all the way through 2016, so this is definitely a career with growth potential.

There are plenty of jobs out there for a qualified CNA, and that’s probably one of the reasons so many people are attracted to the profession.

What Does a CNA Earn In Arkansas

Currently, the median salary for a CNA in Arkansas is just under $20,000 per annum, but there are positions that offer more or less than that. It will depend largely on the institution, the area, and your level of experience.

However, since this is a career that offers significant potential, both in terms of industry growth, and of personal improvement and advancement within the medical field, it’s well worth considering becoming a CNA in Arkansas.

CNA Programs in California

California is experiencing an enormous growth in the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants, like much of the rest of the country. Finding the right CNA programs in California is the first step in securing a career as a CNA, so read on, and find out what you need to know before you sign up.

What Does CNA Training In California Entail?

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training in California is regulated by the California Department of Public Health, and more specifically, by a division known as ATCS, or Aide and Technician Certification Section.

Before you can take the ATCS exam, and become a certified CNA in California, you will need to undergo a state approved training program. These programs are run by several different institutions, from colleges to occupational training centers, and even certain private institutes. It doesn’t matter where you choose to study though, as long as the training provider is accredited by the Health Department.

What Is the CNA Course In California All About?

No matter where you choose to train as a CNA in California, the basic course structure will be the same.

All accredited training facilities are required to provide a minimum of 50 hours of classroom training, and a further 100 hours of clinical ‘on the job’ training, supervised by a trainer.

Your training will cover a wide range of skills, from taking patient vitals to infection control, and basic patient care to administration and monitoring skills.

What Does CNA Training In California Cost?

Typically, commercial CNA training programs in California cost between $600 and $1000, however, it is possible to get free training from certain accredited institutions in the state. In return for training and certification, CNA’s who opt for this choice will have to work a predetermined number of hours for their training institution at no cost.

If you do choose a program where you pay for your tuition, the cost of your training is likely to include everything necessary – from books to uniforms, so it’s still one of the cheaper choices out there.

How Easy Is It to Find a Job As a CNA In California?

At the moment, there’s a large, growing demand for Certified Nurse Assistants in California, and in many other states. There’s more than 20% growth expected in the demand for these healthcare professionals until 2016, and there are over three thousand new jobs created every year. This makes becoming a CNA a very attractive career option right now.

What Does a CNA in California Earn?

Current salary surveys put the salary range for a CNA in California at between $19,000 and $36,000 or more per annum. Considering the minimal training required to enter the field, and the prospect of potentially getting CNA training free in California, that’s one of the reasons so many people are considering this field.

So if you are in California, and you are considering training as a CNA, you can be assured that this is one of the best potential career choices out there right now.

CNA Programs in Colorado

Like many other states, Colorado is experiencing a boom in the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants, also known as Certified Nursing Aides. If you’re considering CNA programs in Colorado, and a career as a nurses aide, then there are a few things you should know before you make any decisions.

How Do You Qualify As a Nurses Aide In Colorado?

In order to become a nurses aide (nurses assistant) in Colorado, you need to have completed a Colorado Board of Nursing approved CNA training program.

These programs are run by private training academies, community colleges, nursing schools and homes, and even a few high schools. There are also agencies that offer free training, in return for a contract to work at a reduced rate or as a volunteer for a predetermined time after you qualify.

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training is not the final step though. Once you’ve completed the training course itself (which lasts several weeks, and covers the state approved syllabus) you will still need to take and pass the Colorado CNA exam, which is offered by Pearson VUE. This is required, before you can accept a job as a CNA anywhere in the state.

Can You Train As a Nurses Aid in Colorado?

Anyone can train as a CNA in Colorado, and there is no requirement that you have a GED or high school diploma. There are also training programs that will accept trainees who are not yet 18 years old. However, statistically speaking, your chances of finding employment (and your potential earning power) is higher if you are 18 years or older, and have a high school diploma.

Certified Nursing Assistants who trained outside of Colorado are also eligible to work in the state, so long as they pass the Colorado CNA exam.

Are Certified Nursing Assistants In Demand In Colorado?

As with many other states in the US, there is a very definite growth in the demand for trained, Certified Nurses Assistants in Colorado. In fact, the CDLE (Colorado Department of Labor and Employment) estimates that there will be a 29% growth in demand for Certified Nurse Assistants through 2016, so this is a good profession to consider training in.

You are very likely to be able to find a job at a nursing home, hospital, clinic or hospice quite quickly after you qualify, and it’s a good way to springboard into the nursing field.

What Does a CNA Earn in Colorado?

As with most states, your earnings as a CNA in Colorado will vary from area to area, and from institution to institution. Your experience and skill will also play a role in what you can command in terms of salary. The average salary for a CNA in Colorado, however, is approximately $26,000 per annum, although newly qualified candidates are likely to earn less than that.

If you are looking for a career choice in Colorado that allows you to train quickly, become certified, and work in the medical field without spending a fortune on tuition, then becoming a CNA is certainly one very promising option.

CNA Programs in Connecticut

Whether you’ve always wanted to work in the medical field, or whether you’re just looking for a growth industry that allows you to work with people, chances are you’ve considered working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). If you live in Connecticut, then read on, as we show you what you need to know about CNA training in your state.

How Do You Train as a CNA In Connecticut?

The Connecticut Department of Public Health is responsible for the certification of all Nurse Assistants and other public health personnel in the state, and they have devised an approved course syllabus, that all candidates have to complete, in order to become a nurses aide in the state.

Approved courses cover many different aspects of the job, including no less than 16 hours of specific training in communication, patient rights, patient independence, infection control, and emergency procedures. The remainder of the training program will include twenty five key competency areas, that the state deems critical to the performance of any CNA.

How Do You Get Certified as a CNA in Connecticut?

Once you have completed your training as a CNA, through a state approved training program, you will still need to be certified before you can accept an offer of employment. You should also remember that you can only be certified if you have completed a state approved training program, so if you’re unsure about the program you are considering, always ask before you sign up.

The state requires that you complete the Connecticut CNA Competency Exam, which will evaluate your skill and understanding, within 24 months of completing the course, if you want to be certified.

Where Can You Train as a CNA in Connecticut?

The good news for people who want to pursue a career as a nurses aide in Connecticut is that there are over 150 approved training facilities in the state. These include hospitals, nursing homes, community colleges and private institutions. So no matter where in Connecticut you live, you should be close to an approved training facility.

Certain facilities (usually nursing homes, hospitals and similar institutions) also offer free training options for new CNA candidates, provided you sign a contract to work for them for a predetermined period after you qualify.

What Are the Career Prospects for a Connecticut CNA Like?

As with many other states, Connecticut is experiencing a boom in the demand for qualified Certified Nurse Assistants. Labor department estimates indicate that there will be an increase in demand of around 11% until 2016, so there are plenty of employment opportunities for both new and experienced Certified Nursing Assistants in the state.

When it comes to salaries, you can expect to earn an average of about $30,000 for a CNA or nurses aide position in Connecticut, although new trainees may find that their starting salary is less than that.

Many Certified Nursing Assistants also use their training as a stepping stone to other career options, either by training as an RN (Registered Nurse), or by pursuing home carer options. Whatever your plan is, however, CNA programs in Connecticut are well worth exploring.

CNA Programs in Delaware

With job growth in the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) field in Delaware expected to be around 17% through 2016, there’s really no question about why more and more people are interested in Certified Nursing Assistant training in the state.

However, while there are certainly plenty of CNA training programs out there, there are a few things you should know, before you choose one.

Who Regulates Certified Nursing Assistants in Delaware?

In Delaware, the DLTCRP, or Division of Long Term Care Residents Protection, which is a part of the State of Delaware Health Department, is in charge of training, certification and regulation of Certified Nurse Assistants.

In order to become a certified nurses aid in the state, you will need to complete a DLTCRP approved training course, and pass a competency exam. Once you have done both, you will be able to accept any offer of employment as a CNA in any facility in the state.

What Does the Delaware CNA Training Course Entail?

The state approved training program for Certified Nursing Assistants in Delaware consists of 150 hours of training, which is equally divided into classroom studies, and hands on clinical training. Courses are offered by community colleges, hospitals, nursing homes, private institutions, technical high schools and adult education centers.

The course content covers everything you will need to know to successfully work as a nurses aide in the state, including infection control, anatomy, physiology, patient care, monitoring and reporting, medical terminology, working with the aged and disabled patients and more. You will also learn about reporting to an RN or doctor.

The State of Delaware requires that all CNA trainees are supervised by a licensed nurse while performing any practical clinical training.

What Special Training Will You Get As a Candidate CNA In Delaware?

The Delaware state approved CNA training programs are intensive and comprehensive, and in addition to basic patient care and administrative aspects of the job, you will receive training in communication with patients, CPR, the Heimlich maneuver, and several other specialist skills.

Delaware’s CNA training program is one of the most comprehensive out there, and special focus is placed on mentoring and assisting trainees, which means that once you have qualified, and been certified, you should be comfortable and competent enough to work in any nurses aide position in the state.

What Does a CNA In Delaware Earn?

The average or median earnings for a nurses aide in Delaware is around $28,000, although your salary will depend on which area you work, as well as the facility, and your experience and skill level.

Starting salaries may be considerably lower than that, but considering that your training and certification requirements are much lower than many other medical professions, becoming a nurses aide in Delaware is a good career choice, that offers relatively high earnings, industry growth that ensures many potential job opportunities, and a stepping stone to advance within the medical field, should you choose to.

CNA Programs In Georgia

In Georgia, as in other parts of the U.S.A, there’s a growing demand for trained, qualified and Certified Nursing Assistants. It’s therefore no surprise that more and more people are looking for information about CNA programs in Georgia and elsewhere, but there are several things you need to know before you choose a training course.

What Are the Georgia State CNA Training Requirements?

In order to qualify and work as a nurses aide in Georgia, you need to complete a state approved CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), nurses aide or Patient Care Technician (PCT) training program. You then have to take, and pass, the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program Exam. This exam is taken in two parts, and is designed to test both your knowledge and skill.

PCT programs are typically longer, and cover more information than the standard CNA training programs approved by the state, and include training in EKG and phlebotomy. Students who opt for those courses are able to apply for additional employment opportunities, and, with further training, can advance to phlebotomy or EKG technicians later on.

What Does the Georgia CNA Training Course Cover?

All Georgia state CNA and PCT courses are drawn up in accordance with the  Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA). They cover communications, interpersonal skills, basic patient care, administrative issues, reporting, patient monitoring and more. They’re designed to give trainees the skills required to work with and care for the aged, mentally challenged people, and patients in hospitals.

Where Can You Work With a Georgia CNA Certification?

CNA and PCT training courses in Georgia offer accreditation in terms of the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program Exam (Georgia NNAAP). That means that once you are registered, you can work as a CNA in any nursing home, hospital or clinic, or in certain home care fields. You may also be able to transfer your qualification to another state, should you move later on.

Where Can You Train to Become a CNA In Georgia?

Accredited and approved CNA courses in Georgia are offered by certain high schools, technical schools, private training facilities and nursing homes. Make sure that the course you are considering is approved before you apply though – or contact the Georgia Health Partnership if you are unsure.

What Can You Expect to Earn as a CNA in Georgia?

As with any other state, the salary range for a CNA in Georgia is broad, and will vary from city to city, town to town and institution to institution. Currently, however, the median salary for a registered CNA in Georgia is around $31,000, although starting salaries can be more or less than that.

As the US population ages, there is a growing demand for live in care facilities, which ensures that in nearly every state, becoming a CNA allows you to find a job in a growth industry, where employment opportunities are plentiful. Considering that CNA training in Georgia and elsewhere is usually a relatively short process, this could be the perfect opportunity for anyone looking to enter the healthcare field quickly and easily.

CNA Programs in Hawaii

It may surprise many who think of the island paradise of Hawaii, but like the rest of America, the population of this state are aging, and that means that there’s a definite, growing demand for qualified medical staff, including nurse’s aides.

How Do You Qualify to Work as a CNA in Hawaii?

Hawaii is one of the few states that allow you to work as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), without first completing a training course, and taking the CNA competency exam. However, you may only work in Medicare, Medicaid and State run facilities if you have been trained and certified, and while you may do the job without a qualification elsewhere, you cannot hold the title of CNA unless you are qualified.

In Hawaii, the State Department of Human Services oversees approved CNA training courses, and you will need to take one of the courses that they endorse before you can qualify as a candidate CNA.

What Does the CNA Training Course In Hawaii Comprise?

In Hawaii, the state requires you to complete a training course that includes a minimum of 100 hours of prescribed training. Those hours are divided into 30 hours of classroom training, and 70 hours of hands on, clinical training, supervised by a nurse.

How Does CNA Certification Work in Hawaii?

While you can work as a nurses aide in Hawaii without formal training, you will have limited career options, and it’s likely that you will earn considerably less, for doing mostly the same job. After you have taking a state approved training course, your next course of action should be to take the American Red Cross Nurse Aide Certification Exam. Once you have passed that exam, you will receive a State of Hawaii Certified Nurse Assistant Card. That card proves that you are a certified CNA, and allows you to work in state run and other facilities, and increases your earning power.

Where Can You Work as a CNA in Hawaii?

If you are a trained and certified CNA in Hawaii, then you can work as a nurses aide or CNA at any state, Medicaid, Medicare, or private facility. Those facilities include long term care homes, nursing homes, hospitals and more. Without training and certification, you can work for private institutions, and you can find out more on the Red Cross home page for Hawaii.

What Can You Earn as a CNA In Hawaii?

There’s a high demand for qualified and Certified Nursing Assistants in Hawaii, and the typical average salary in the state is around $29,000. A new CNA is likely to earn less than that, but there are also nurse aides in Hawaii that earn considerably more.

Remember that if you choose to work as a nurses aide without being qualified in Hawaii, you will limit your career choices, and you are likely to earn less. You can, however, choose to undergo training and certification at any time, so if you’re already working as a nurses aide, and you’d like to improve your career prospects, this is a good idea.

CNA Programs in Idaho

As with many other states, Idaho is experiencing a growth in the population of aged people. That means that now, and in the years to come, there will be a greater demand for nursing homes and assisted living facilities, and that qualified medical staff like Certified Nursing Assistants (Nurses Aides) will be in more and more demand in Idaho.

So, becoming a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) is a good career choice if you’re in Idaho, but what do you need to know before you get started?

Training as a CNA In Idaho

If you want to become a Certified Nurses Assistant or Aide in Idaho, the first step is to find a state approved training program. These programs are run by colleges, high schools, adult training centers and certain universities.

State approved CNA Programs in Idaho consist of a minimum of 120 hours of study, 40 of which will be spent in a classroom, and the other 80 in hands on, practical, clinical training.

The course covers a range of skills, from interpersonal skills and residents rights to infection control and caring for terminal patients. It will prepare you to work as a CNA in any hospital, nursing home, clinic or medical facility as a nurses aide.

Certification for a CNA in Idaho

Once you have completed the required 120 hour state approved training program for nurses aides in Idaho, you still need to take a competency exam, before you can be registered. In Idaho, the nurses aide competency exam is managed and administered by Headmaster LLP.

Why Train as a CNA In Idaho?

There’s a nationwide surge in the demand for medical staff, such as nurses aides. In Idaho, the projected growth in demand for qualified and certified nurses aides is expected to top 35% over the next several years.

That means that this is a career choice that almost guarantees you a choice of employment options, at any one of a number of hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, nursing facilities and long term care homes.

A CNA qualification is also often a stepping stone, with many Certified Nursing Aides going on to study and qualify as registered nurses or in other medical fields.

What Does a CNA Earn in Idaho?

As with many other states, the salary range for a CNA in Idaho is good, considering the limited studying required to enter this career path. Certified nurses aides in Idaho can expect to earn an average of around $22,000 per annum, although a newly qualified CNA may earn less initially. Salaries also differ depending on the city and specific facility of employment.

If you have been looking for a career in the medical field, and you like helping people, then it may just be a good idea to consider becoming a CNA in Idaho. It’s a career with good prospects, and may well get you started on a career that leads to even bigger and better things.

CNA Programs in Illinois

If you’ve been considering a career as a nurses aide in Illinois, or if you’re just looking for a career in a growth industry, then there’s a good chance that becoming a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) is a good idea.

However, before you rush out to sign up for a CNA training program in Illinois, there are a few things you should know about training and certification for nurses aides in the state.

What Training Do You Need to Become a CNA in Illinois?

The first step in becoming a Certified Nurses Aide in Illinois is to choose a training program that is approved by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). There’s a list of approved training centers on their website, but you can be assured that there are community colleges, adult training centers, career centers and nursing training facilities in every city, and in just about every area.

CNA Certification in Illinois

Once you have completed a state approved CNA or nurse’s aide training course in Illinois, the next step is to get certified.

That means you need to take the CNA competency exam, or the Nurse Aide Competency Evaluation, which is run by the Illinois Nurse Aide Testing Program. You will need to take, and pass, the exam within 120 days of completing your training. Once you have, you will be state certified, and able to work in any one of a number of nursing homes, hospitals and care facilities in your area, or anywhere in the state of Illinois.

Why Becoming a CNA in Illinois Now Is a Good Idea

Like much of the US, the aging population in Illinois has created a very high demand for medical care facilities, nursing homes and long term care facilities, as well as hospices. That increase in the demand for medical care means that medical professionals, like Certified Nursing Assistants, are also in demand.

In fact, the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) has estimated that there will be a 21% growth in demand for qualified and certified nurses aides in Illinois through 2016. That means that there are plenty of jobs and career options, whether you’re just entering the field, or an experienced CNA already.

What Does a CNA in Illinois Earn?

Considering that most CNA training courses last weeks, rather than years, the expected earnings for the profession in most states are high. In Illinois, a CNA can expect to earn an average salary of around $ 23,000, although you may find that you earn a little less than that starting out. Salaries also vary according to the city or area, and the institution itself, but with plenty of jobs out there for certified nursing assistants, there’s plenty of scope to be choosy.

Whether you’ve always wanted to work in the medical field, but lack the funding for med school, or whether you’re just looking for a job in a fast growing industry, becoming a CNA in Illinois is certainly a good idea, and one that’s well worth pursuing.

CNA Programs in North Carolina

There’s a huge demand for Certified Nursing Assistants in North Carolina, and elsewhere in the US. Whether you’re looking to change careers, or start a new career, this could be just what you’re looking for. Courses are reasonably priced, training takes a matter of months at the most, and with jobs plentiful in North Carolina and elsewhere, there’s never been a better time to train as a certified nurses aide.

How North Carolina’s CNA System Differs

North Carolina differs from most other states in that a Certified Nurse Aide/Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in the state does not need to be registered in order to work as a nurses aide. That having been said, however, many employers still prefer trained and certified candidates, and you’re more likely to find a job, or earn more, if you have the necessary certification.

Who Oversees CNA Training In North Carolina

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) – Health Occupations Education Nurse Aide Office is the body tasked with overseeing the nurses aide training programs in the state. North Carolina differs here too though, because there are different ‘grades’ of training that you can apply for, that entitle you to employment in different grades too. The first, and the one recommended for a new CNA is the Nurse Aide I program.

What Can You Expect from CNA Programs in North Carolina?

North Carolina CNA courses must cover a minimum of 75 hours of practical and theoretical training. Training courses are offered by schools, colleges, nursing homes and medical facilities, as well as private companies. Just remember, however, that clinical training in the field will need to be supervised by a trained nursing professional, so make sure that’s included in the course.

The course covers everything a CNA needs to know to work as a certified nurses aide in the state – patient care, nursing, administrative and reporting issues and terminology.

Certification As a Nurses Aide in North Carolina

Although it is possible to work as a nurses aide in North Carolina without training and certification, it’s unlikely that you will get the kind of position you are looking for without them. Not being certified will limit your earning potential, and the jobs you can apply for.

Training as a CNA in North Carolina and elsewhere is relatively cheap and it’s one of the quickest programs in the healthcare field. Once you’ve completed your training, you need to take the North Carolina Nurse Aide competency exam offered by Pearson Vue and community colleges in the state. Then you will need to apply for inclusion on the North Carolina Nurse Aide I Registry.

CNA Earnings In North Carolina

Certified nurses aides in North Carolina, who have completed their training and certification, can expect to earn a little over $23,000 as the average salary, depending on their experience level, and where they work. Jobs are plentiful too, with a 30% increase in demand expected over the next five years.

So if you are looking to work as a nurses aide in North Carolina, there’s never been a better time to train or get certified.

CNA Programs in Indiana

The state of Indiana is experiencing a boom in the demand for healthcare professionals, and in the demand for certified nursing assistants in particular. In fact, between now and 2016, the Indiana Department of Workforce Development is expecting to see a 17% growth in the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants in Indiana.

So what do you need to know to get certified, and start a career as a nurses aide in Indiana? Read on, to find out!

What Do You Need Before You Can Train as a CNA in Indiana?

The good news for people who are considering becoming a nurses aide in Indiana is that while the State Health Department recommends that applicants for the various training programs have a high school diploma or GED, it’s not actually a requirement.

If you are planning to use your Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training as a stepping stone – for instance if you want to eventually train as a Registered Nurse (RN), you will, however, have to have your high school diploma before you tackle that training.

CNA Training In Indiana

State approved CNA training programs in Indiana consist of 30 hours of training in a class room, and 75 hours of in the field, clinical training under the supervision of a nurse.

Candidate Certified Nurse Assistants in Indiana learn everything from CPR to basic nursing skills like taking a patients blood pressure, and infection control to caring for terminally ill patients.

The course covers a prescribed syllabus, and will prepare a trainee for a career in a nursing home, hospital, long term care facility or any other medical environment.

Indiana CNA Certification

As with most other states, training is not the last step in becoming a CNA in Indiana. You still need to take, and pass, the CNA certification exam, that’s managed and administered by Ivy Tech Community College. Once you have done that, you will be included on the Indiana Nurse Aide Registry, and be legally able to work as a CNA anywhere in the state.

What Does a CNA Earn in Indiana?

Aside from the relatively short training and certification period, and the high demand in Indiana and the other states, the other major draw card for new Certified Nurses Assistants is that the salary you can expect to earn is relatively high for the amount of training required.

In Indiana, the average salary for a certified nursing assistant is around $23,000 at the moment, with an experienced and skilled CNA earning much more than that. What you earn will depend on your skill level and where you work, but it’s a relatively well paying job, that can also be a springboard into other careers in the medical field.

So if you’re looking for a career in the medical field in Indiana that’s quick and easy to get into, and where you can be sure your skills will be in demand, training as a CNA is a very good idea.

CNA Programs in Iowa

If you’re interested in working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Iowa, then there are a few things you should know about training and registration, before you start looking for employment opportunities.

Is Being a CNA A Licensed Profession In Iowa?

Certified Nursing Assistants, a.k.a Certified Nurses Aides or Assistants in Iowa; don’t have to be licensed in order to work. However, they do need to undergo state approved training, and register with the Iowa Health Department. As with other states, a CNA in Iowa reports to a Registered Nurse (RN).

What Does CNA Training In Iowa Entail?

The training program for Certified Nurses Assistants in Iowa is one of the shortest – at just six weeks long. You will need to make sure that the program you choose is approved by the DIA, or Department of Inspections and Appeals. During the six week course, you will cover the prescribed syllabus, which includes 30 hours of class room study, and 75 hours of clinical training.

Training for a CNA is available through several colleges and community colleges, and in Iowa, there’s even an online CNA training program. It was developed and is run by the University of Iowa, in partnership with several other local colleges. That means that it’s possible to study to become a CNA in Iowa while you’re still working elsewhere, or even if you’re not close to another kind of training facility.

What Does Registration As a CNA in Iowa Mean?

In order to be included on the Iowa Nurse Aide Registry, you will need to pass a competency exam. Inclusion on the registry allows you to work as a nurses aide in the state, and is particularly critical if you want to work in any state run facilities or hospitals.

You may be able to find work that is similar to being a CNA without training or registration, but chances are you will earn well below the average salary that a registered nursing aide will.

Getting Free CNA Training In Iowa

A good idea, if you would like to become a nurses aide in Iowa, is to look out for offers of employment from state run facilities and hospitals. These positions usually include free training and testing, as well as guaranteed employment once you are registered.

What Does a CNA In Iowa Earn?

The good news, considering the very short period for which you will have to train as a CNA, is that in Iowa, the current average salary is a respectable $28,000, although a new CNA typically earns a little less than that.

Remember that salaries also differ according to where you work. For example, you might earn more working in a hospital than a healthcare franchise.

The good news, however, is that throughout the US, there’s a large, and growing, demand for trained and registered Certified Nursing Assistants, so whether you plan to stay in Iowa, or move to another state, this is a career well worth looking into.

CNA Programs in Kansas

If you’ve been considering becoming a nurses aide in Kansas, then you’re making a good career choice! It’s a career with growing demand, training is minimal, and salaries are relatively high for the amount of study involved.

Read on to find out more about Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training and certification in Kansas, and how you can get started.

Who Oversees CNA Training In Kansas?

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment is responsible for approving CNA training courses in the state. They’re also responsible for testing and certification for new nurses aides in the state.

What Does the CNA Course Entail In Kansas?

State approved CNA training courses in Kansas are usually about 6 weeks long. During the course, candidate Certified Nursing Assistants will need to complete the prescribed syllabus, which will include a minimum of 45 hours each of class room studies and clinical training.

CNA training programs are offered in Kansas by many post high school organizations. You can study at colleges and community colleges, adult care homes and hospitals, and there is even an online training course that you can take if you can’t study full time. You will still need to undergo your clinical training in a nursing home, hospital or similar facility though, so make sure that there’s one in your area where you can complete the practical portion of your training.

There’s also a program in Kansas that allows you to claim reimbursement for your training and certification as a CNA, and it’s worth finding out whether you qualify. The Kansas State Health Department website has more details, or you can call them to find out more.

Where Can Certified Nurses Aides Work In Kansas?

Once you have completed a state approved training course, and become a Kansas certified nurses aide, you can work at several different types of institution. Long term care facilities, long term units at hospitals, nursing homes and adult care homes are just a few of the options. There are both private sector and state run facilities hiring certified nurse assistants all the time, and many states will allow you to transfer your credentials, so if you move to another state, you’ll be able to work as a CNA there too.

What Will You Earn As a CNA In Kansas?

Currently, the median salary for a qualified CNA in Kansas is $22,000 – which is below the national average. However, there’s a growing demand for Certified Nurse Assistants in the state, which means that there’s likely to be many different jobs to choose from when you complete your studies, and with increasing demand, it’s likely that average salaries will increase accordingly. There’s also every possibility that once you’ve qualified as a CNA, and got a start in the healthcare sector, that you can study further, to become an RN, a medical assistant, or in health care administration.

So if you are looking for a relatively quick, easy and cost effective way to make a start in the health care industry in Kansas, it’s well worth considering one of the many CNA programs on offer.

CNA Programs in Kentucky

If you’re interested in becoming a CNA in Kentucky (or a SRNA or State Registered Nurses Aide as they’re officially known in the state of Kentucky) then you’ve come to the right place.

There are several things you need to know before you sign up for CNA training in Kentucky, so let’s look at what those things are.

Where Can You Go for CNA Training In Kentucky?

If you want to become a certified nurses aide in Kentucky, you will need to choose a state approved training program. The good news is that there are many of these programs, throughout the state. You can find approved CNA training programs at the American Red Cross in Kentucky, as well as at community colleges, career and technical training centers, community colleges and some of the long term care facilities in the state.

What Does CNA Training In Kentucky Entail?

If you want to train to be a CNA/SRNA in Kentucky, you will need to complete the prescribed syllabus, which will be a minimum of 75 hours long, of which 16 hours will be clinical training.

There are also online training options in Kentucky, for people who cannot attend the class room training sessions for the CNA training courses in their area, but you will still need to complete your clinical training at a hospital or nursing facility. One of the best online training options for Certified Nursing Assistants in Kentucky is run by the American Red Cross, although you can choose any state approved training program.

SRNA Certification in Kentucky

After you have completed a state approved CNA/SRNA training course, you still need to pass the Kentucky Nurse Aide competency evaluation. This is a two part evaluation, which is only offered by the Kentucky Community and Technical College System.

Candidates who pass the exam are then eligible to be included on the Kentucky Nurse Aide Registry, which is jointly run by the Kentucky Board of Nursing, and the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services. Once you are registered, you are legally allowed to work as a CNA/SRNA in the state.

What Can You Earn As a CNA In Kentucky?

The average salary for a CNA/SRNA in Kentucky at the moment is around $22,000 – however, what you earn will depend on where you work, both in terms of geographical area, and the type of institution. A skilled and experienced CNA/SRNA in Kentucky can also command a fair amount more, and this is one career where there’s currently no shortage of jobs.

What Else Should You Know About Being a CNA in Kentucky?

The demand for qualified and certified State Registered Nurses Aide in Kentucky (and elsewhere in the US) is high at the moment, and due to stay that way at least until 2016. This is also an excellent way to get started in the health care industry, and many Kentucky SRNA graduates go on to study further, and become licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, nurse technicians and nurse administrators.

CNA Programs in Louisiana

If you want to work as a CNA (certified nursing assistant) in Louisiana, you will first have to complete a Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals approved CNA training program. Now is a very good time to do that, because according to government estimates, there’s going to be a 30% growth in the demand for Certified Nurse Assistants in the state between now and 2016.

Where Can You Train to Be a CNA in Louisiana?

There are many organizations and institutions that offer Louisiana state approved CNA training courses. Colleges, community colleges, healthcare training facilities and even hospitals and nursing homes offer courses. Make sure that the course you are considering is approved before you sign up though!

How Do You Qualify to Train As a CNA In Louisiana?

In most cases, if you want to train as a CNA at a community college or training center in Louisiana, you will need to have a GED or a high school diploma. The same is true for most of the courses offered by nursing homes, but there are a few that don’t require this qualification, so you may be able to find a training course if you have not yet finished high school, or didn’t receive a diploma.

What Can You Expect From CNA Training In Louisiana?

Most of the state approved certified nurses aide programs in Louisiana last between 12 and 15 weeks. During that time, you will complete a prescribed syllabus that includes practical or clinical training, as well as class room studies.

Trainees will study medical terminology, basic nursing, infection control, CPR and emergency procedures, as well as patient care and rights, among other topics. Essentially, anyone who completes the course should know everything they need to know to accept any CNA position with a hospital or nursing home in the state.

CNA Certification in Louisiana

Once you have completed a state approved CNA training course, there’s one more requirement before you can work as a nurses aide in the state. You will need to complete a two part examination (verbal or written, as well as practical.)

Examinations are administered by the Louisiana Board of Examiners of Nursing Facility Administrators, and once you have passed your competency test, you will be included on the Louisiana Nurse Aide Registry.

What Does a Nurses Aide Earn In Louisiana?

The average salary for a CNA in Louisiana is around $22,000, but new entrants to the workforce may earn less than that, depending on where they choose to work. Salaries for an experienced CNA in Louisiana can also be considerably higher than that, and considering the small investment, in both time and money that you need to make to qualify, this is certainly a good career option.

Once you are qualified as a CNA in Louisiana, you may also find that opportunities to study further open up, and it’s not unheard of for Certified Nursing Assistants to go on to be medical assistants or nurses. Since these are all among the top growth careers in Louisiana now, there’s never been a better time to choose this career.

CNA Programs in North Dakota

As with most parts of the United States of America, there’s a growing demand for trained medical professionals, including certified nurses aides in North Dakota. An older population, and more demand means that there’s a greater need for nursing homes and care facilities, and that means that finding a job as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) is now easier than ever before.

However, there are a few things you should know about CNA training and certification, before you start looking for jobs.

CNA Training Programs In North Dakota

The North Dakota Department of Health oversees the training of all candidate

Certified Nurse Assistants in the state. Approved training programs are typically 100 hours long, and consist of both practical and theoretical studies.

Where to Find Approved CNA Programs In North Dakota

CNA Programs in North Dakota are available from schools, colleges and nursing facilities. There are also approved online courses that you can take, however, you need to ensure that the practical component of the course is also included – so look for courses that offer practical training during the syllabus.

Who Can’t Train As a CNA In North Dakota?

There are certain people who cannot apply for certification as a nurses aide in North Dakota. Anyone who has had a chemical dependency problem, a mental health problem or if you’ve been convicted of a felony or lost a medical license, then you may not be able to register as a CNA in the state.

Certification and Registration As a Nurses Aide In North Dakota

If you do qualify to train as a nurses aide, and you have completed an approved training course, then the next step in the process of becoming a CNA in North Dakota is to complete the nurses aide competency exam.

Once you have passed that evaluation exam, you can apply to the North Dakota Department of Health to be included on the nurses aide registry, and that allows you to work in any state or private medical facility in the state.

Reimbursement for CNA Training In North Dakota

CNA Programs in Maine

As with many other states in the US, there’s a rapidly growing demand for qualified Certified Nursing Assistants. So whether you’re looking to launch a new career, or to make a change and get started in healthcare, this is very definitely a good choice.

Let’s take a closer look at how you go about qualifying as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Maine.

Who Is In Charge of CNA Training In Maine?

The Maine Department of Education is in charge of ensuring that CNA courses meet the state requirements. All Certified Nurse Assistants who work in Maine must have completed one of their approved courses.

Who Qualifies to Train As a CNA in Maine?

Maine has one of the lowest standards of admission for CNA training in the US. In order to qualify for training, you only need to be 16 years or older, and have completed 9^th grade. You also need to be able to speak, read and write English.

It’s important to note that many people choose to use the CNA training and registration program as a stepping stone to other fields in the health care business, like nursing or medical administration. In most cases, you will need a high school diploma or a GED to study further, so if you are hoping to do that, you may want to complete your GED first.

What Can You Expect from the Maine CNA Training Course?

The CNA training program for the state of Maine is one of the most comprehensive, and longest, out there. The course consists of 180 hours of training, with about 90 hours being spent in the class room, 70 on clinical practice, and another 20 on clinical work.

The training program for nurses aides in Maine teaches candidate Certified Nurses Assistants everything they need to know to work in a nursing home or hospital. Expect to learn basic nursing skills, how to assist patients with rehabilitation, interpersonal skills, communication, patient rights and many other job specific skills.

Where Can You Study to Become a CNA In Maine?

There are many different institutions that offer state approved CNA training in Maine. You can contact the Maine Department of Education for a list of training providers, or contact community colleges, colleges, nursing homes or hospitals directly.

Also remember that in Maine, CNA’s who complete their training and pass the competency exam, and then go on to secure employment within 12 months are eligible for a refund of a portion of their training costs.

What Does a CNA Earn In Maine?

The average hourly wage for a CNA in Maine is just over $11. Many earn considerably more than that though, and many also use their time as a CNA as a springboard to other health care professions.

There’s really no quicker way to get involved in the health care business in Maine, or just about anywhere else in the US, than to train as a CNA, so if you are dreaming of a career in the medical field, this should definitely be on your list of potential career options.

CNA Programs in Maryland

According to the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation – Division of Workforce Development and Adult Learning, over the next few years, there will be an increase in the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants in the state of nearly 30%. That means that there’s never been a better time to train and qualify as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in the state. There are, however, a few things you should know before you sign up for a training program.

Where Can You Train to Become a CNA in Maryland?

In Maryland, state approved CNA training courses are offered by high schools, nursing homes, colleges and community colleges, and third party organisations, like the Red Cross. Where you study is not that important, because all of these training providers offer a similar course structure and syllabus, but it is important that you choose a state approved training program.

What Does the CNA Training Course Entail In Maryland?

CNA training courses in Maryland cover a wide range of practical and theoretical aspects of the job, from patient care and basic nursing to medical terminology and reporting and more. Courses vary in length, but typically, the number of hours of study is constant among the courses offered by various institutions.

It’s important to note, however, that no one is legally allowed to perform any basic nursing or CNA functions in Maryland, unless they have completed the course, and passed their competency exam. You cannot work in any job that incorporates basic nursing and other CNA skills unless you have completed the course, and been registered by the nursing board.

How Do You Get Certified In Maryland?

In order to become a certified or registered nurses aide in Maryland, you need to complete your training at an approved facility. You then need to pass a competency exam, and finally, you need to be registered as a CNA with the Maryland Board of Nursing. Doing all of those things will enable you to legally work as a CNA at any long term care facility, hospital or nursing home in the state.

What Does a CNA Earn In Maryland?

CNA’s in Maryland earn an average salary of around $27,000, although that will depend on where you work, and your skill level. New Certified Nurse Assistants may earn less than that to start with, but an experienced and skilled CNA can command salaries that are significantly higher than that.

It’s also worth noting that this job is one of the fastest growing in Maryland, with a very high demand among both state and private medical institutions for qualified and registered Certified Nurse Assistants. That means that once you qualify, which should take no more than a few months, you should have no trouble finding a job anywhere in the state.

So if you are looking for a career in healthcare, and you want to find a route that’s quick, relatively cost effective, and that can provide a stepping stone to other medical careers, considering a Maryland CNA training program is a very good option.

CNA Programs in Ohio

The Ohio Department of Job & Family Services estimates that there will be around 14% increase in the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants (Aides) over the next few years. That equates to over 1,800 new jobs in the field. That’s not counting the huge 48% increase in the demand for home carers – a field that a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) also have the option of entering once qualified.

So, becoming a certified nurses aide in Ohio is a good idea. But what does it require?

STNA Training Programs In Ohio

The first thing you should know, when you start your search for CNA training in Ohio, is that in the state, a CNA is also known as an STNA (State Tested Nurses Aides).

Training programs are approved by the Ohio Department of Health. They’re offered by a variety of training providers throughout the state. Courses are offered by colleges and schools, as well as hospitals and nursing homes, but it’s important to ensure that wherever you train, the program you choose is accredited.

What Does CNA or STNA Training in Ohio Comprise?

State approved training courses for nurses aides in Ohio must comprise a minimum of 75 hours of both practical and clinical training. The course covers everything from the very basics of patient care, like feeding and bathing, to more advanced medical concepts and terminology.

All clinical training must be supervised by a medical professional, and the course syllabus must adhere to the state’s guidelines.

Reimbursement for STNA or CNA Training in Ohio

Under certain circumstances, STNA’s or certified nurses aides who train in Ohio may be eligible for reimbursement for some or all of the costs associated with your training and certification. This usually applies to Certified Nurse Assistants who are employed by Medicare or Medicaid facilities before or after they complete their training, but you may want to check with your training provider to find out if you are eligible, and how to go about claiming your reimbursement.

The STNA Competency Exam in Ohio

Once you have completed your certified nurses aide training in Ohio, the next step in the process is to complete the STNA competency exam, that is offered by D&S diversified Technologies in the state. Once you have passed that exam, you will be eligible for inclusion on the Ohio Nurse Aide Registry, that is managed by the state health department. You will also be eligible to work as a CNA in any state or private nursing home or medical facility.

Prospects and Earnings for a CNA In Ohio

The CNA field, and in particular home care, is listed as number two on the list of top 10 growth industries. That means that there’s no shortage of jobs out there for a qualified CNA in Ohio.

The average salary for a certified nurses aide in the state is about $24,000, although that will depend on where you work, and your skill and experience level. If you are looking for a job that pays well with minimal training required, and that offers job security and the possibility of advancement into other areas of the healthcare filed, then becoming an Ohio STNA is a very good place to start your search.

CNA Programs in Oklahoma

Unlike many states, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training and certification is not required for everyone who wants to work as a nurses aide in the state of Oklahoma. In fact, it’s only if you want to work in a long term care, Medicaid or Medicare facility that you need to be trained and certified.

Bear in mind, however, that in many cases, you can be reimbursed for training – making it essentially free – and that there are more (and better paying) job opportunities for qualified Certified Nurse Assistants in Oklahoma. Let’s take a closer look at training and certification though, so that you can make informed decisions about what’s best for you.

Approved CNA Training Programs In Oklahoma

The Oklahoma State Department of Health is responsible for assessing and approving all CNA training programs in the state. Make sure that the program you choose is approved by the department too – otherwise you may have trouble with certification or with reimbursements.

Where to Find Approved CNA Training Programs In Oklahoma

Government approved certified nurses aide training programs in Oklahoma are offered by schools, colleges and community colleges, and through employer programs in the state (nursing homes and hospitals.)

Evaluation and Certification for a CNA in Oklahoma

Once you have completed your CNA training in Oklahoma, you will need to pass the competency exam. Once you have done that, you can apply to be registered on the Oklahoma State Department of Health’s nurse aide registry. The evaluation does require you to pass two components – theoretical and practical, with a 70% and 80% pass rate respectively.

What Does the CNA Training Course in Oklahoma Cover?

CNA or certified nurses aide programs in Oklahoma are designed to prepare you for employment in the healthcare field. The program covers everything from patient rights to basic nursing, patient hygiene and rehabilitation, as well as many other core competencies. Once you have completed the training, you will be ready to move on to the final step in the process – evaluation and registration, and then you will be able to take any CNA job in Oklahoma.

Reimbursement for Studies Towards a CNA Qualification in Oklahoma

Like many other states, Oklahoma has a program that reimburses qualified Certified Nurse Aides for the cost of their studies, if they find employment before, or within the twelve months after they have completed their studies. Reimbursement may vary from case to case, so make sure you enquire before you begin your training program, or accept an offer of employment.

Oklahoma CNA Salary and Career Prospects

In Oklahoma, as with many other parts of the US, there is a growing demand for CNA’s and other medical staff. Currently, the growth between now and 2016 in the field is expected to be a little over 17%. The current salary average for a CNA in the state is a little under $20,000 per annum, which is below the national average, but still a respectable salary given the minimal study required.

All in all, the CNA field is one with growth potential. It’s one that requires minimal training, and that includes the possibility of free studies. Well worth it, if you’re looking to get into the healthcare field on a shoestring.
