Welcome to CNA Training Class!

CNA Training Class provides information and resources for those interested in obtaining a Certified Nursing Assistant, or CNA certification.

Here you will find information on free CNA classes online, CNA training including the Red Cross CNA class,  information about CNA jobs including average CNA salary, as well as other resources to help you become a Nurse Assistant.

Nurse Assistant’s work in nursing homes, hospitals, adult day health centers, assisted living facilities, even personal homes. Wherever there is a need for personal care, Certified Nursing Assistants are the ones who, for the most part, perform the most basic needs for patients, young and old alike. They work under the supervision of a nurse. Since aides have extensive daily contact with each patient, they are key to providing vital information on the patients’ conditions to the nurse.

Working closely with patients, CNAs are responsible for basic care services such as bathing, grooming and feeding patients, assisting nurses with medical equipment, and checking patient vital signs. CNAs give patients important social and emotional support and also provide vital information on patient conditions to nurses.

We will be offering CNA training DVD’s shortly. These will include sample testing questions for cna exam, coursework and study guides, and more.

To some, being a Nursing Assistant is ‘just a job’. It pays the bills and nothing more. These people are easily recognizable in the workplace setting. This fact comes across through behaviors such as laziness and attitude problems. It’s the patients who suffer for some people’s wrong career choice.

The first step to becoming a CNA is finding a program suited to your needs. If you are applying at a heathcare facility offering free classes, be sure to check to ‘fine print’, as some facilities require that you commit to work for them for a certain length of time after you become certified. If you are hired at a healthcare facility, be prepared to submit to a background check (criminal) and a drug test. These are usually mandatory for all healthcare personnel.

At the end of the classes, you will be scheduled to take a State administered Test to become certified. Some places will allow you to work, upon completion of your CNA training, up to four months after classes without your certification.

If you’re interested in going further, perhaps pursuing an RN (Registered Nurse), LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse), or BSN degree (Bachelor of Science in Nursing), you might want to visit Nursing School Programs where you’ll more find information about various online nursing degrees, accelerated nursing programs, and more.

Becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant can be one of the best decisions of your life, and lead to a fulfilling and financially rewarding health care career; we hope CNA Training Class can help!
