Will I be able to sit for the CNA licensing exam after taking this course?
Florida was one of the few states that allowed individuals to challenge the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) exam without attending a state-approved training program. However, regulations and policies can change over time, so it’s essential to check with the nursing board or regulatory agency in each state to get the most up-to-date information on their requirements for challenging the CNA exam without attending a state-approved school.
What should I expect when applying for employment at a HHA agency?
If you do not have previous experience or employment in the Home care field; It is procedure for the HHA agency to require you to take a competency exam. Passing this will show them you are qualified to work as an HHA. It is also important to note in some states and agency’s, training and certification isn’t necessary for employment. We cannot and do not guarantee employment. Every agency is different you should know the requirements for employment at your desired Agency of employment before purchasing our services.
What is the difference in taking your course online than in person at a school?
The difference is, you don’t have to drive to a class room on a set schedule, which costs time and gas money. You don’t need to buy books or medical equipment, which you may never use again. You can learn at your own pace, on your schedule, and in the comfort of your own home and any other place with internet access.
The course curriculum of your HHA and CNA course are very similar. How are they different?
A CNA works with many clients in a facility or hospital and they’re training is based on making sure they can safely work with clients that are in close proximity of each other. An HHA works one on one with a single client and helps them with their daily activities. So while the training for HHA’s and CNA’s are similar they are also very different.
What does the CNA certification exam consist of?
The exam consists of a written test and a clinical test. The written test asks you questions about procedures and how to deal with certain problems. The clinical test will consist of 3 randomly chosen nursing skills. (There are 21 to choose from.) It is very important you master all the nursing skills before challenging the state exam.
Do I need to complete any of your courses for employment?
We do not guarantee employment. We offer online caregiver courses that closely parallel occupational skills and procedures at an affordable price with convenient course access. Some states don’t require certification or training to be a PCA. Some states allow you to challenge the CNA state certification exam, instead of attending a state approved school. Some home care agency training and employment requirements will be less if they don’t provide skilled care and don’t accept Medicare or Medicaid. Many individuals use our courses to start their own private independent caregiver company, to educate them on how to take care of a family member, some use them to prepare for their CNA state exam/refresher course and others use it to prepare for a Home Health agency competency exam. Please verify our services will meet your specific needs, goals and expectations before purchase by researching your states education laws, desired agency employment requirements, because regulations and laws vary from state to state.
