About
This program is intended for adults who are interested in entering the healthcare field. It will prepare you for employment in both public and private agencies. You’ll learn how to care for people who need help in caring for themselves through a combination of classroom lectures, lab and clinical training at a local skilled nursing facility. Upon completion of the course, you’ll be able to perform basic nursing skills and recognize areas of safety for both patients and yourself. This course prepares you to take the State of Connecticut CNA Exam and you’ll become eligible for the Connecticut State Nurse Aide Registry.
Upon successful completion of this course, you'll receive a certificate of completion and your name will be placed on the State Certified Nurse Aide Registry. This is a CT state certification. If you plan on moving you can still take this program but need to go through the Prometric site to transfer your license to a different state.
