ATA College

The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) curriculum published by ATA College spans taking vital signs, patient-care procedures, personal care and daily-living assistance, feeding and nutrition support, observation and documentation, safe movement and mobility, communication, infection control, and workplace safety. The documented learning model brings together classroom or theory instruction and supervised clinical experience. Program materials reference patient-care work in acute hospitals as well as long-term care. The admission information identifies a background check or fingerprint clearance and proof of secondary education among the requirements for applicants. Elsewhere on its official site, the institute describes a broader focus on occupational education.
