필요한 교육

As a reminder, not every state uses the title Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Some simply use the terms Nursing Assistant or Nursing Aide.

• To become a Certified Nursing Assistant requires completing a state-approved CNA training program through an accredited school

1. Note, applicants will need a high school diploma or equivalent. However, some high schools feature CNA programs for juniors and seniors
2. CNA training programs are widely available at community colleges, vocational/technical schools, and even in some hospitals and nursing homes
3. “A typical CNA program lasts for about 120 hours or six weeks and includes four weeks in a classroom and two weeks in a clinical setting,” writes Indeed. “Many online CNA programs can accommodate a variety of student schedules and may offer classes during the day and on evenings and weekends.” 

• Course topics include: 

1. Human anatomy
2. Infection control
3. Medical terminology
4. Nutrition
5. Patient rights
6. Safety and emergencies
7. Vital signs

• Practical training includes instruction on basic nursing principles along with RN-supervised caregiving experiences in clinical settings—usually “at least 75 hours of practical experience in an accredited CNA training facility, which also includes at least 16 hours of supervised clinical and 16 hours of laboratory training.” However, some states may require up to 175 hours of training
• Additional state-specific and employer-specific training requirements vary

1. Note, upon completion of a state-approved program, students are required to pass a competency exam to obtain a certification or qualify for a state-issued license
2. Many states use the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program exam for this. Others have their own exams
3. Exams usually consist of a written or oral test proctored through a third party, featuring multiple-choice questions. There is also a clinical skills portion where test-takers demonstrate proficiency in various tasks

• Certification is usually good for two years, and renewable based on state or employer-specific requirements (such as completing continuing education or maintaining employment) 
• In addition to the above, CNA hopefuls may need to verify or update their immunizations (such as seasonal Influenza vaccination, tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap), measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), hepatitis B, varicella, and meningococcal)
• They may also have to pass criminal background and drug screenings
• CNAs may complete optional credentials, such as:
