Certified Nursing Assistant

Nursing assistants are usually left alone to care for a loved one who cannot care for themselves. It is also a springboard for being a Medical Assistant, Registered Nurse, or Licensed Practical Nurse. The potential is unlimited.

This is a 99-hour program that meets state requirements for a student to pass the Georgia Medical Care Foundation oral and written exams for certification and to function in Hospitals, Nursing Homes, and Personal Home Cares as a Certified Nursing Assistant.

As a Nursing Assistant, you will provide basic care for patients under your supervision and nursing staff. You will perform patient care duties such as feeding, grooming, and bathing, as well as changing linens, moving the patient, and monitoring his/her vital signs.

Program Objective:

This accelerated 4-week program taught by licensed practical nurses and/or registered nurses prepares the student for the workplace. The onsite laboratory allows program participants to acquire hands-on practice on equipment utilized in the field. A one-week clinical externship with a clinical partner allows students to solidify their skills. Graduates can also apply for and take the certification exam to become a Certified Nursing Assistant.

B	GOOD	80—89%

An “I” grade may be assigned provided the student is passing the course and has completed a substantial portion of the coursework. The instructor and student complete and sign an “I grade completion form” and agree on the work to be performed and a deadline for completion of the work. The “I” is changed by the instructor through the grade change procedure. An ‘I’ grade not changed within three (3) weeks will be changed to an “F” and the course must be repeated. Withdrawals and repeats do not affect the student’s GPA but does affect maximum periods.

Instructors are required to submit to the Director the final grade for each student whose name appears on the “Instructor Grade Report.” Instructor grade reports are the official record of the students’ grades and are permanently filed at the Ashona Medical Institute.

The Student Grade Report at the end of each grading period indicates the student’s academic cumulative average.
