Miller’s Health Systems provides free training for people interested in becoming Certified Nursing Assistants. Students must complete classroom instruction and a supervised clinical practicum, then pass the state exam to become a Certified Nurse’s Aide. The classroom portion requires 36–40 hours of instruction. Students must score at least 80% on each classroom test and have up to three attempts to pass. Students who do not pass the classroom phase will not continue to clinical training. The clinical practicum requires 75 supervised hours at a long-term care facility. Students must successfully perform the required skills, complete and submit all required skills checklists, and maintain a daily clinical sign-in record documenting hours and signatures. The first 16 practicum hours are with the class instructor; absence during that time results in dismissal from the program. Students may also work with a preceptor, and both the preceptor and instructor evaluate progress. Before the course begins, students must pass a criminal background check and complete a TB test and physical. Attendance at all classroom sessions is mandatory. Unsatisfactory performance or attendance may result in dismissal. Students who complete the course receive a certificate of completion and a scheduled state-test date. Miller’s Merry Manor pays for the scheduled test and, if needed, one retake for students hired by the company and in good standing. Students who are not employees receive their application and certificate to schedule and pay for their own test.
