All students in the Fall 2018 CNA training ending in December at Ivy Tech Community College’s Tell City Career & Technology Center passed the Department of Health Certification Exam to become registered Certified Nurse Aides in the state of Indiana.
The students completed eight-weeks of lecture, lab, and clinical instruction to develop the skills necessary to meet the standards set by the Indiana State Department of Health.
Students were able to earn this career certification tuition free, due to a partnership with the Indiana Department of Workforce Development’s WorkINdiana program and Ivy Tech Achieve Your Degree.
More classes are planned, but this time through Ivy Tech’s Princeton Career & Technology Center. This class will be June 10-Aug. 1, on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, from 4-9 p.m., at Princeton High School, Room 110. Orientation is planned June 6 at 4 p.m. Funding is available for eligible students. Call (812) 429-9843 or email msherfield2@ivytech.edu for more information.
“The College is proud of the dedication, hard work, and passion the students demonstrated throughout their training,†said Kyla Krieg, Ivy Tech Workforce Development Consultant and Princeton and Tell City Career & Technology Centers’ director. “A CNA certification is a great way to start a career in healthcare. This credential provides the foundation for the ‘nursing career ladder.’ The possibilities are endless for these students.
“The College and the community are grateful for the support of Perry County Memorial Hospital. The Health Sciences lab at our Tell City site allows students to complete college classes close to home and connects qualified candidates with the high-demand jobs in our region.”
