(
I-Canada-News.Com, July 19, 2012 ) La Prairie, Canada -- Certified Nursing Assistant Online has put together an impressive amount of information for those seeking to become a certified nursing assistant (
CNA). The website covers all aspects of the field in great detail, and offers tips and advice with regards to training programs and schools.
A CNA, also referred to as a nursing aide or orderly, performs his or her duties under the auspices of a licensed healthcare provider. They are found in hospitals or nursing homes where they are responsible for helping patients with such tasks as getting prepared for examination or treatment. CNAs also work to keep record of all medication taken by patients as well document food intake and other daily activities.
The profession is very attractive, especially for those looking to enter the healthcare industry via a field with a low barrier of entry. CNAs are also in good demand. According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in the field is expected to grow by a rate of 20 percent from 2010 to 2020, which is faster than the 14 percent rate for all other occupations.
However, according to Certified Nursing Assistant Online, aspiring CNAs need to educate themselves on the proper training to pursue prior to pulling the trigger on a decision; otherwise, they may miss out on the good positions.
Training is provided by community colleges and vocational schools throughout the country. Some American Red Cross chapters and hospitals also provide the training. A typical training program takes 6 to 12 weeks to complete. According to the website, employers value the Red Cross CNA training program because of its intensity, which lays the foundation for a competent and confident CNA.
Once training is completed, candidates may take the certification exam, which consists of written and practical portions. And while certification may not be necessary in some cases, acquiring the credential will give you the advantage when it comes to the better paying jobs.
