There are many state approved CNA training programs for those who wish to become certified nursing assistants in Kansas. The Dodge City Community College for example, offers an excellent training program for CNAs. They offer both a Basic Nurse Aide Curriculum and a Geriatric Nurse Aide Curriculum (for those who wish to work in nursing home settings). The nursing assistant programs include classroom instruction and clinical experience. The course is worth five credit hours. The CNA programs available at Dodge City Community College are state approved meaning that they meet all requirements of the Board of Nursing in Kansas.
Students who enroll in the CNA training courses do not need to have graduated high school. However students cannot enroll until they are at least 18 years of age. Students who complete and pass one of the nursing assistant training programs, can then sit for the certification exam. It is necessary to pass this exam before become a certified nursing aide. The Dodge City Community College Nursing Aide program can be registered for through the paraprofessionals department. Some students will qualify for financial aid to help pay for the course. Nursing assistant training can be completed within a matter of weeks. Most nursing aides make at least $22,000 each year, though opportunities exist to earn even more.
