Nurse Aide Training Programs in Utah
Changing careers and returning to school may prove to be challenging for most of us, especially from a financial point of view. Potential nurse aide students are interested in ways to minimize financial expenses related to education, and welcome advice as well as various types of financial assistance. Who qualifies to receive reimbursement for completing a CNA training program in Utah? The state of Utah has its own unique reimbursement criteria for those who completed a nurse aide training class and become certified by passing the CNA exam. Reimbursement means getting back some or all of the money you spent for training to become a nursing assistant.
To qualify for some amount of reimbursement you must first work at least three months as a nurse aide in either a nursing home or in a long-term care facility certified by Medicare or Medicaid. Only those who are employed as a CNA for a full year in a Medicare or Medicaid certified facility may obtain the maximum amount of reimbursement. Currently the maximum amount of reimbursement for a CNA training class is $200. Certified nursing assistants who meet the reimbursement criteria are encouraged to apply by contacting the Utah Nurse Aide Registry and completing the appropriate reimbursement forms.

CNA Classes in Utah ( Page 1 )
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.

I am working to develop a new CNA program in Utah. Can you refer me to were the requirements are for this program. Thank you.

The requirements for nursing assistant training programs in Utah may be found in the following document (pages 13 - 15): Nurse Aide Training Program. Job descriptions may be found here: NATCEP Program Coordinator, NATCEP Clinical Instructor, NATCEP Primary Instructor, NATCEP Skills Examiner. Good luck!
I live in Utah and I have finished my CNA training and have only two more days of clinicals. I do have some hearing loss and very little feeling in the tips of my fingers. What sort of letter does my doctor need to provide for me to take with me for my state exam?
Is it possible to enroll in a CNA class without a high school diploma or GED?
How long do CNA classes take and what exactly do you have to do?
After becoming a CNA how much more experience, training or school has to be done to become a registered nurse?
I am in the military and I do not have too much time to actually attend a regular CNA program. Who offers online CNA classes?
