100 hour program: 76 hours Classroom ~ 24 hours Clinical experience
The American Red Cross Health Care Training program is one
of the most highly respected programs of its kind in the country. We prepare our
graduates for rewarding careers in the growing health care industry.
As a Certified Nurse Assistant and/or Home Health Aide, you will have the
knowledge and skills necessary to provide quality health care to residents in
nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, to hospital patients and clients in
their homes.
Students will be taught the proper ways to move patients and the basics of
personal care, feeding, and bathing. Other skills covered include taking vital
signs (temperature, pulse, breathing, and blood pressure), and how to respond to
patient emergencies like choking or falling.
Students benefit from small classes, with caring, well-trained teachers. They
receive hands-on experience as they learn in realistic clinical settings.
