WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WORK AS A CNA?

Some clinics will hire untrained and inexperienced workers and provide on-the-job training. However, these opportunities may be hard to find and may not be ideal for many reasons. Not to mention, they may sometimes put patients’ safety at risk. RCI offers training within medical facilities as part of our unique clinical program. Becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant is often seen as a stepping stone to becoming an RN or LVN. This natural transition in the medical profession often results in many job openings in entry-level positions.

GENERAL COURSE INFO

ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS

In order to ensure that applicants meet the entry level requirements for training that will lead toward certification, we require certain documentation for students enrolling in our CNA course. Students must be 16 years old or older.
