    Description
    This lab, to be taken at the same time as HS 050 (the Nurse Assistant Pre-Certification Training Course) meets Title 22 regulations for taking care of the geriatric population in a long term care setting, utilizing skills in basic care, emergency care, and communication. The Nurse Assistant Pre-Certification training course lab consists of 135 hours of supervised clinical practice in the classroom lab and long-term care facilities. The course prepares the student to take the California State Certification Exam to become a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA). After obtaining the state certification, students may find employment in the acute care and/or long-term care settings. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) requires students must be enrolled in HS 050 and HS 050L concurrently, and pass both courses at the same time; neither course can be taken individually for credit.
