for Certified Nursing Assistants
The state of Arkansas requires students to undertake a minimum of 75 hours of certified nursing assistant training course work and 100 hours of theoretical clinical rotation before challenging the state NA examination. The long Term Care Office sets the guidelines for the states certification exam. All of the testing centers must adhere to these requirements.
The state exam you must take consists of a written portion followed by a practical or skills test. In order to qualify for the testing, students must have completed an accredited course program.
The training ensures the student both academic and clinical accomplishment. Students will be exposed to wide-ranging patient population, many types of medical equipment, and to professionals in the healthcare field, which will supply a foundation for entering the Nurse's Aide profession.
The length of the classes will vary, dependent on the frequency and the time schedule of the program. Most are designed to be either a six-week or a full semester. Full time courses are ideal for those that want to complete the training in a short amount of time. Part time are more convenient for individuals with other obligations, such as those working.
