Yes\n\nOne reason is their program is accredited, a process which requires high standards. They also have a transition program from LPN to RN that can come in handy later/\n\nLooking over their program, I can see it is challenging and will equip you with the skills needed to succeed.

If you work and take 15 credit hours a semester it will take you 4yrs.  If you take only 6 credit hours a semester it will take about 8yrs.\n\nI think the guy above me means CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) and there is a reason why the course is only a year long... you go all day and when you graduate you wipe butts for 15 bucks.  I recommend you become an RN...the higer your education, the more you are paid and the less messy work you do.

Not sure what you are referring to. HIPPA? Duty to act? There are lots of areas that have legal ramifications in nursing care.

Most technical schools or Community Colleges have CNA programs. The best place to check is with a local nursing home. Nursing homes always have a large supply of CNA's. When you talk to the nurse supervisor, be friendly, you might end up doing some networking that will help you get a job there when you complete your training. Some nursing homes offer free tuition. You start at an entry level position and stay for 2 months and after that, if you want to get your CNA certificate, they'll pay for it and they'll work around your school schedule. Call a variety of nursing homes and assisted living communities. I hope this helps.

Usually a Nurses Aid is only in your home for an hour. they Usually help assist the patient with their baths or shower and personal care. then it is there job to clean the bath room and make the patients bed,  take bp, and temp. and then leave.  It really depends on how many hour's she is hired for.   If a family hire the NA. then they will tell her what they expect from her.If the family hires them, then they will be expected to do more like cooking meals, feeding giving meds,if they are bed ridden then they must be turned but most of all. treat each patient as you would want  treated. with respect.  but normally  her only duties is to make sure the patient is tended to as needed.  \n If the state hires you  It is a Certified Personal Assistant that will take the patient grocery shopping or to doctor visits.  or clean there house.give baths. they actually do the same a an aid. but really are usually their in the home with the family a lot longer than an NA or CNA,  I have had my CPA for five years now,  A companion  is just what it means. a friend. someone to be with you. to do things for and with you. nothing else.    \n    And you might want to check within your state. cause it varies from state to state to what and how much an NA,  CNA and CPA is allowed to do.

Call around and ask some nursing homes or long-term care facilities if they pay for the CNA class. Most of them do and you just have to work for them a certain amount of hours.

The answer is no.....we are working in a career that is a sacred responsibility and trust.  There are some sick poeple in this field as there are in any, but the overwhelming majority of healthcare professionals are there with a genuine desire to do only good and help those who cant help themselves when they are down and need support and care the most.  For me when I have patient contact it is from a position of compasion and caring.  The necessity of contact is usually for diagnostic purposes or to calm and sooth.  At some points after many years of education in anatomy and physiology it actually seems sometimes like working on a car.  Plus consider that most of the times when we are in contact with the areas mentiond it is becasue of a disease process.....even the most warped of healthcare providers could not be turned on by that.

I am a paralegal, and the career is what you make of it. I enjoy what I am doing.  Sometimes it can be very rewarding and other times it can be very frustrating.  Wish you the best of luck!

Only if this job is what you really want for your future.\nThen, you have to "work hard" and be patient and tolerated in whatever current environment, take up all challenges.

Call your local community college or adult education system.  Most of your CNA classes are offered through one of those, and one of your requirements for completeing the class is so many hours in a clinical setting (nursing home).  Most of the schools have an agreement with the popular nursing homes in your area for their students to study there.  Then once you are in the door for your school training, you open the possibility of proving yourself and being offered a position.
