• Thank you for your interest in taking the state certified nurse aide training program. Our program is a fast paced class that is completed in 80 hours. To be considered for the class, you must provide the following at the time of your scheduled Pre-Test:
• Completed Application
• Proof of your High School Diploma or GED
• Valid Photo Identification
• Social Security Card

We will run a criminal background check as well as consult the Tennessee and/or National Abuse Registry for Children and Adults. No one with a felony conviction, certain misdemeanor charges, and/or found on the abuse registry can be admitted to the class.

Since the class is only 80 hours, no absences or tardies are permitted. You must make an 80 on all assignments to remain in the class.

Uniforms will need to be purchased for the class. You must wear royal blue scrubs. No facial piercings are to be worn to class except for earrings. You will be responsible for any additional school supplies.

Class hours will vary based on demand for various class times.

• Students are chosen based on the facility need, shift availability of the candidate, flexibility of the candidate, previous work history and attitude.
• Employment is not guaranteed for the class.
• The best qualified candidates for the class will be chosen.
• It is not based on those who applied first or last on application day.
• After the successful completion of the class, you will be eligible to take your state board.

Thank you for your interest in the class!
