COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Kellogg Community College is now accepting applications for nearly a dozen 12-day, six-week, or 11-week sections of Nursing Assistant (CNA) Training Program courses offered at KCC campus locations in Albion, Battle Creek, Coldwater and Hastings during the Spring 2019 semester.
CNA training courses held at KCC’s Grahl Center campus in Coldwater during the Spring 2019 semester include a 12-day CNA training March 11-28 (days) and a 12-day CNA training April 15-May 2 (afternoons/evenings)
KCC’s Nursing Assistant Training consists of classroom, laboratory and clinical instruction and is worth three college credits. The training is offered at KCC via an 80.5-hour course listed as NURS-105 in the Academic Catalog that prepares students to take the Michigan Nursing Assistant Test to become Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). KCC offers the program throughout the year in full-semester (11-week), six-week or expedited three-week (12-day) options.
In the workplace, nursing assistants provide basic care services under the direction of nursing staff, including feeding, bathing, dressing, grooming and moving patients. Program graduates who test for and receive their CNA designation often work in nursing care facilities, assisted living centers or as home health care aides.
According to Kellogg Community College, the CNA profession consistently shows faster than average growth in year over year job openings and in 2017 offered a median hourly wage of $13.23, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
