Nurse Aide Training Programs in Oregon
Hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes and other long-term care facilities are the main employers of specialized certified nursing assistant graduates in Oregon. Once you complete a basic nurse assistant training course and gain some work experience, you have the option to enroll in higher level CNA courses. A specialized nurse aide is a level two CNA that has completed at least two nurse aide training classes and holds state certification for each level of training. Each facility decides what nursing tasks a level two CNA may or may not perform.
The Oregon State Board of Nursing has approved numerous nursing related tasks which can be completed by a competent level two CNA only. Some of these tasks are thought during a CNA training class, while others are learned by hands-on practice, under the supervision of a registered nurse. Part of the duties assigned to a level two CNA include: changing simple, non-sterile dressings, cleaning ostomy sites, setting up traction equipment, suctioning, and performing phlebotomy procedures. A complete list of all the skills and procedures a level two CNA is allowed to perform after training is available on the Oregon Board of Nursing website.

CNA Courses in Oregon ( Page 4 )
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.
