About The Position

Dallas Retirement Village offers a free, hands-on Nursing Assistant Training Program taught by a Registered Nurse with more than 40 years of experience. The course is designed to provide the skills and knowledge needed to pass the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) certification test and prepare students to provide compassionate care, particularly to older adults. Textbooks and workbooks are provided.

The program includes classroom instruction and clinical training and lasts approximately four weeks. Before classes begin, students attend an orientation covering class policies and expectations, followed by a tour of the nursing facility. Classes run throughout the year. The stated schedule includes classroom sessions Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for nine days (72 hours), and clinical sessions Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for five days (40 hours). The schedule may change to accommodate holidays.

Students pursuing OSBN certification must submit a certification-test application and complete fingerprinting. The application testing fee is $106 and fingerprinting costs $70.50. Dallas Retirement Village pays these fees for students who accept a position there; otherwise, the student is responsible for them. Applicants submit a complete online application, interview with a teaching Registered Nurse, undergo a student background check, and provide two letters of reference at the interview.
