NURSE ASSISTANT

AND COMPETENCY

EVALUATION TRAINING

The goal of the CNA training course is

to prepare students to provide high

quality assistive care that respects and

honors individual, cultural and

community needs. The course will

provide clinical and practical

instruction for basic nursing skills

required of nursing assistants employed

in skilled nursing facilities and extended

care facilities. Emphasis will be placed

on the care of older and disabled

individuals, as well as assistance with

activities of daily living such as bathing,

dressing, exercise movement, eating,

and elimination. Students completing

the course will be required to

demonstrate proficiency in achieving a

series of identified student learning

outcomes.

Aaniiih Nakoda College schedules Nurse

Assistant and Competency Evaluation

Training Program classes at least two

times a year. Interested students can

inquire and pick up an application from

the college registrar, Tribal Health or

Returning Buffalo Nursing Office.

AM and conclude at 5:00 PM.

Students will have a 45 minute lunch

period with 15 minute breaks in the

morning and afternoon. The state

requires 75 hours of classroom and

clinical instruction and students

admitted to the class must agree to

attend every day. If you miss one

day, you will be asked to leave the

class.

ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY IF

YOU ARE ACCEPTED. Registration

is required so contact the Registrar’s

office and pick up an application

today. It is first come first served.

PREVIOUSLY CERTIFIED

If you were previously a certified nursing

assistant and your certification lapsed, you can

challenge the exam for as little as $97.00. The

only catch is — if you fail the exam, you will need

to retake the 75 hour training to be eligible to

retest. You will need to complete a registration

form which can be picked up at Returning

Buffalo Nursing Office. You can also register on

line with a credit card at: cna@mt.gov.
