This is a comprehensive course designed to teach students the skills and abilities essential to the provision of basic care to patients and residents in hospitals and long-term care facilities. The student will learn how to administer First Aid, perform CPR, check vital signs, and many other essential skills required to be licensed as a CNA. In order to be licensed, students must take the Texas Nurse Aide exam ($125-not included in the tuition). The written exam may be taken in English or Spanish, and the skills will be performed in English as requested by an examiner.
