Clinical Training

Clinical training is critical to your success as a Certified Nurse Assistant. It is also a mandatory part of CNA classes in most states, comprising of 8-24 hours of the total training. The training is generally at a Long Term Care center or other approved facility that provides the outlet for nurse aide students to put their conceptual knowledge into practice.

Students will work directly under the supervision of a Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse Instructor. Without this opportunity to provide direct care in a real-world environment, you won’t have the training required to pass the class. Apart from providing the environment for hands-on learning, clinical experience should reinforce patient safety and comfort, infection control and patients’ rights.
