Nurse Aide Training in Florida

Nurse Aide Training Programs in Florida

Did you know that any student which completes a nursing assistant class in Florida and applies for certification will be screened by the Florida Board of Nursing? We all know about employers conducting CNA work history checks, but you must pass a similar type of screening prior to becoming a certified nursing assistant in Florida. Because there are differences between the two types of screenings, you should understand what each of them means and how they may affect you.

When you graduate from a CNA course and schedule the CNA state exam, the testing company will conduct a screening and obtain a report. The results of this report are sent to the Board of Nursing. If the results of your individual report are satisfactory then you qualify for certification. The employer conducted CNA checks verify that you have no record of certain disqualifying offenses such as abuse, neglect, and theft associated with residents in long-term-care facilities. These mandatory CNA screenings are conducted in every state not only to adhere to state regulations but also to ensure that a resident's rights are protected.

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.

Questions, Comments, Suggestions

C. Adams on November 8, 2014 at 11:22 AM
Is it possible to enroll in a CNA class without a high school diploma or GED?

---

Admin on November 8, 2014 at 05:34 PM
There are no federal regulations stating that individuals are required to have a high school diploma prior to attending nurse aide classes but some states such as Florida require a high school diploma or its equivalent prior to testing if you are under 18 years old and have not attended a training program. A program coordinator at the school or nursing facility which is offering CNA training classes may tell you if a high school diploma or equivalent (GED) is required in order to enroll in the nurse aide program. Some facilities do not require a diploma as long as you have completed a 10th grade high school education. In the state of Texas a high school diploma or a GED is not necessary in order to attend and complete a nursing assistant program.
