Nursing Assistant Preparation Course is designed to equip students with the foundational knowledge and skills needed to work as a nursing assistant. The course covers essential topics such as the role and responsibilities of a nursing assistant, medical terminology, infection control, patient care for individuals with various health conditions, and effective communication skills. The program runs for two weeks and includes hands-on experience in a lab setting, allowing students to practice the skills they will use in real-world healthcare environments.

Upon completing the course, students become eligible to take the certification exam to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). In the state of Florida, obtaining CNA licensure is mandatory to work as a nursing assistant. This certification confirms that nursing assistants have the necessary skills and knowledge to deliver safe, high-quality care to patients across a range of healthcare settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities.

• A Challenger takes the same State exam as the other students who attended longer programs and are issued the same Florida C.N.A. license if they can successfully pass the examination.
• Candidates will be given 3 attempts to pass both portions of the C.N.A. examination before they are required to attend a 120-hour State approved C.N.A. training program.
• You are not required to take any course prior to challenging the exam. However, even if you have experience as a nurse assistant, challenging the exam can be quite difficult.
• You will be assigned to perform 3 of the skills and be observed by a nurse evaluator.
• Successful completion of each skill is required in order for you to pass, miss one thing and you will fail.
