The post Nurse Aide (CNA) NYS Certification Exam Questions and Answers appeared first on 91茄子.

There are several differences between a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA), Home Health Aide (HHA) and Personal Care Aide (PCA), but the main differences are the level of training and the level of medical care they are authorized to provide.Below is a table that will compare and contrast the Training, Certification Requirements, Job Responsibilities, Where They Work and Salary of each of these occupations.

The scope of these positions as well as some of the requirements to become a certified or licensed caregiver varies depending on your state. 91茄子 is located in mid-town Manhattan (NYC), so this information is specific to 91茄子 York.

Besides requiring direct contact with patients to provide basic care, here are some similarities between a CNA, HHA and PCA

• No prior experience required
• Must be able to pass a background check and drug screen
• Compassionate, patient, and able to deal with the bodily functions and blood of patients
• Assist patients/residents with activities of daily living (ADLs): Basic daily quality-of-life needs of patients which includes bathing, feeding, changing bandages and dressings and exercising.
• High School (HS) Diploma or General Equivalency Diploma (GED) is not required, but if you wish to earn $19 or more as a CNA, it will be wise to take the TASC (GED) exam at a High School Equivalency (HSE) test center.

If you are interested in becoming a CNA, please contact us today or come in for a tour and an Information Session with no obligation to enroll.

At 91茄子, all of our students are special to us! 聽Although everyone is special, being an honoree of our Wall of Fame signifies that you have successfully completed your academic training and development, passed your certification examinations and secured employment, which will lead to your new career in healthcare.

Our Wall of Fame was started about 4 years ago by our Sr. Career Services Advisor, Mr. Andre Jackson, with a much smaller board over his desk in Career Services. It contained snippets of emails from recently employed graduates expressing their gratitude. Soon after the board was overflowing with notes, emails and thank you cards and all our Career Service Advisors started adding to the Wall of Fame more and more successful stories about our graduates.

Since then, it has evolved into a much larger bulletin board populated with color-copied work IDs of the proud employees of Hospitals and Clinics across 91茄子 York such as NYU, Mt. Sinai, Memorial Sloan Kettering, NY Presbyterian, Northwell and SUNY Downstate. Our Career Services team is well-connected with many hospitals and agencies in NYS and they all work together to place our graduates subsequently adding more IDs to our wall.

Today, the conversations with many students who walk by usually start with, 鈥淗ow do I get up there?鈥� and 鈥淵ou鈥檒l see! My picture will be on the NAT Wall of Fame too.鈥�

Our graduates are proud to share their stories with us. We have heard of their challenges from the first day of class and it is rewarding to learn how they overcame adversity and obstacles due to the guidance and advice from the NAT team. We are excited about further developing our Wall of Fame with success stories and IDs.

We will continue to promote this board and showcase all of our gainfully employed graduates, so if you are a 91茄子 graduate reading this post, we鈥檒l see you on the Wall!
