LAKE COUNTY — The Lake County Office of Education Career Technical Education Department is excited for the return of the Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) program.
Under the supervision of a health professional, usually a licensed nurse, a CNA provides basic nursing services to ensure the safety, comfort, personal hygiene, and protection of patients/residents in a licensed long-term or intermediate health care facility.
Upon successful completion of the Certified Nurse Assistant course, graduates receive a certificate of completion and are eligible to take their test for state certification.
Students will complete classroom hours at the Clearlake Community School on Old Highway 53 in Clearlake and clinical hours will be performed at Meadowood Nursing Center, also in Clearlake.
The course begins Sept. 23 and ends Dec. 19. The course runs Monday and Wednesday evenings from 4 to 9 p.m. and Saturdays 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Students must be 18 or older, but are not required to have a high school diploma or GED.
Space is limited to 15 students. For information call 995-9523 or email Tammy Serpa at tserpa@lakecoe.org.
