Nurse Aide Training Programs in Maryland
A nursing assistant planning to obtain employment in the state of Maryland must hold state certification. Most people have heard of the CNA certification, which is the first, basic level of certification. You can have multiple nurse aide certifications in the state of Maryland but no higher level may be obtained without first having the basic nursing assistant certification. When you become qualified for other levels of practice, your additional certifications will appear listed on the basic CNA card. Each certification type is subject to both federal and state regulations.
A certified nursing assistant in Maryland may complete additional CNA training classes and hold credentials as a: geriatric nurse aide (GNA), home health aide (HHA), certified medicine aide (CMA), and dialysis technician. Geriatric nursing assistants are trained to work in licensed care facilities which provide comprehensive resident care. A GNA must pass the geriatric nurse aide state exam to become certified. A certified medicine aide follows a sixty (60) hours training course to prepare for administering client medications. Dialysis technicians (DT) must successfully complete a state approved CNA-DT training program and pass the Maryland CNA-DT examination.

CNA Courses in Baltimore and Worcester Counties, Maryland
Nursing assistant programs prepare individuals for challenging the nurse aide certification exam and for entry level positions in health care environments. Each state has the authority to decide how many hours of training a nursing assistant course must consist of, as long as the minimum federal requirement of seventy-five hours is met. Students interested in attending CNA classes have a wide array of choices when it comes to selecting a training facility.
Nursing assistant courses are conducted at nursing homes, vocational schools, private schools, and community colleges. Program length, admission requirements, and cost of training vary depending on the policies of every training facility. Several states have implemented legislation which requires licensed long-term care facilities to reimburse CNA employees for the costs associated with training. An individual who has paid for nursing assistant training classes and who becomes employed by a nursing home within a year of obtaining certification, is eligible for financial reimbursement. Compared to other training programs in the health care field, nursing assistant classes are relatively short and inexpensive. Obtaining state certification as a CNA is the main requirement for securing a nurse aide job at a nursing home, hospital, rehabilitation or skilled nursing facility.

Most long-term care facility offer training periodically, depending on their need for additional certified nursing assistants. Call and ask if there are any upcoming CNA training classes offered at the Salisbury Center. They did advertise the free CNA training course a while back, and hopefully they are still offering it. The contact information for this facility is: 200 Civic Ave., Salisbury, MD 21804. Phone number: (410) 749-1466. Good luck!
