A Certified Nursing Assistant, also called a CNA, works under the supervision of a Registered Nurse, LPN, Physician Assistant, Nurse Practitioner, Medical Doctor, Resident, or other supervisory staff as designated by the health care facility, or supervisor. A CNA provides assistance to patients with daily living tasks and works closely with patients. A CNA is responsible for basic care services such as bed making, grooming and vital signs. A CNA may also assist doctors and nurses with medical procedures.
CNA's give patients important social and emotional support and also provide vital information on patient conditions to nurses, doctors, and other medical staff. Since aides have extensive daily contact with each patient, they are the key to providing vital information on the patients' conditions to the nurse and doctor. Most CNA's agree that it is one of the most rewarding challenges that a person in the healthcare industry can undertake. |

The Manhattan Institute offers a two-part Certified Nurse Assistant training program.
CNA Training Program Part 1:
The first part of our certified nurse assistant training takes place in the classroom. During classroom training, students will learn all aspects of patient care, through lectures, audio video, and practical demonstrations.
CNA Training Program Part 2:
Upon completion of the classroom training students will begin the second part of the class which consists of clinical training (externship). During clinical training students will work directly with patients in a health care facility. You will be supervised by a Registered Nurse, who is a staff member of our school, and is also licensed by the New York State Education Department as a Primary Nurse Assistant Instructor. Each Registered Nurse Instructor will never have more than 10 students. This assures personalized instruction. During your externship you will work side by side with other aides, nurse and medical professionals.
When you finish with your clinical training you will take your certifying exam. The certifying exam is administered by an independent testing organization authorized by the State of New York to Administer the CNA exam. The exam is given in two parts. The first part is a multiple-choice examination. The second part is a practical exam, where you will have to show the evaluator your knowledge of skills learned. There is a separate charge for this exam, which is paid for the test, not to the School.
The official title is Certified Nurse Assistant. "Aide" is commonly used in place of assistant. When you graduate from the program, you are a Nurse Assistant. Upon passing your State exam you are then a Certified Nurse Assistant. The term Certified Nurse Assistant is commonly abbreviated as CNA. Other titles which you may see are: Personal Care Aide, Personal Care Technician, Nurse Technician, Nurse Tech, Resident Assistant, Caregiver, Orderly, PCA, Resident Care Giver, PCG, Assistant Nurse, or Hospital Aide.
Under the law, you must pass a State-prescribed CNA course and also pass a Certification Exam in order to work as a CNA in a nursing home. You cannot work as a CNA in a nursing home in any State unless you are approved by that State. If you are a CNA in New York State and want to work as a CNA in another state, you will need to request reciprocity. This means that you are asking the new state to recognize your CNA approval granted to you by New York State.
