FAQ's
Why CCCNA?
Your first step to a career in healthcare
Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is a CNA?Why do I need a certification to work as a CNA?The Nursing Home Reform Act, adopted by Congress as part of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA), defines training and evaluation standards for CNA personnel who work in long term care facilities. Utah CNA personnel must pass a State CNA Certification examination after completion of a state approved training program. ccCNA offers such a training a program, which is approved and monitored by the State of Utah. This training class prepares Utah CNA students to take the Utah CNA certification exam. Additionally, many nursing schools require CNA certification before admission into their LPN and RN programs.What does the abbreviation “CNA” stand for?Certified Nurse Assistant, Certified Nursing Assistant, Certified Nurse Aide, and Certified Nurse's Aide are the most common interpretations of CNA. Certified Nurse Aid (without an "e" on the end) is incorrect, as the word "Aid" means the giving of assistance, while "Aide" (with an "e") means the person who giveCNA personnel provide hands on physical care of residents such as: taking vital signs, assisting with meals, walking residents, dressing residents, showering residents, changing bed linens, and assisting residents with personal hygiene. A Utah CNA will spend his or her time working directly with the residents and are a vital member of the healthcare team. The Utah Nursing Assistant Registry (UNAR) website provides an EXCELLENT description of what the class will teach, what the test will cover, and what you will be doing as a CNA.Before You RegisterWhy should I choose ccCNA for my Utah CNA training?The Utah Nursing Assistant Registry monitors the “pass-rate” for students taking the Utah CNA Certification examination, and tracks the performance of all Utah CNA training programs in Utah. Based on these “pass-rate” statistics ccCNA has a long history of being consistently ranked among the best Utah CNA training programs. One reason for such high marks is that ccCNA is owned and run by its instructors and continuously monitors and improves its course content to insure that all ccCNA students are fully prepared to confidently take their place in the exciting world of healthcare – beginning with the State examination.How can I find out more?(1) Ask a CNA. Since ccCNA has been teaching Utah CNA students for over 15 years, it is highly likely that you can find a Utah CNA that has taken the class from ccCNA. Past students are our most valuable marketing asset - we have a GREAT reputation!(2) Ask the UNAR. By calling (801)547-9947 you can speak with the state agency that monitors and certifies all CNA Training Programs in Utah. They canNOT recommend one training program over another, but they CAN provide you with acknowledgement of the good standing that ccCNA has with the state.(3) Ask an instructor. You are welcome to call and speak with either instructor directly! The phone numbers shown at the top of this web page are the direct numbers to the instructors (Claudia and Carol).
