Hawkeye Community College offers the 75-Hour Nurse Assistant Training Course for anyone pursuing a career as a certified nurse assistant in a long-term care nursing facility or skilled nursing facility.

This course utilizes standards of practice for resident care as defined in the Omnibus Reconciliation Act (OBRA) guidelines and has been approved by the Department of Inspections and Appeals.

Students who successfully complete this course will be eligible to take the state competency written and skills examinations to be registered as a certified nurse assistant.

Course Overview:
A certified instructor introduces students to the basic health care knowledge and principles relating to resident care, as performed by the nurse assistant.

All training takes place at Bartels Lutheran Retirement Community, providing a fully equipped long-term care laboratory setting for demonstration, practice, and evaluation of skills techniques used by nurse assistants.

Clinical experience, supervised by a registered nurse, allows students to interact with residents in the long-term care environment to implement hands-on skills techniques and communication methods related to infection control, safety, and resident rights.
