Nurse Aide Training Programs in Wisconsin
Will I become a certified nurse aide upon completion of a CNA training class? The answer to this question is no. To become state certified you need to pass the CNA competency exam. The Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services has created a standard test which can be challenged by every person graduating from a nurse aide training program. Successfully passing both the written and skill components of the state test results in earning the CNA certification.
A nurse aide is allowed to work for three months prior to becoming certified. To qualify for working as a nursing assistant for three months without a nurse aide certification you must: be a full-time employee, perform nurse aide duties under the supervision of a licensed practical nurse or registered nurse, and have already completed a CNA training program. For additional information regarding the nurse aide state exam you are encouraged to ask your instructor for a copy of the Wisconsin nurse aide candidate handbook. The average CNA salary for 2008 in the state of Wisconsin was approximately $22,000 per year.

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.

Is it possible to enroll in a CNA class without a high school diploma or GED?
B. M. on July 13, 2009 at 09:28 PM
There are no federal regulations stating that individuals are required to have a high school diploma prior to attending nurse aide classes. 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.
