When considering a new career be sure to research the future outlook of any position you are considering. A career in nursing is a choice that has a very bright outlook with 19% per year job growth expected through the year 2018. New Jersey CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) training will provide you the skills necessary to enter this fast growing field in a relatively short amount of time. With an average salary of $32,000 per year, New Jersey CNAs earn 9% more than the rest of the country. Jobs are plentiful in hospitals, long term nursing care facilities, assisted living homes, private home care, and hospice care organizations. According to the NJ Department of Health and Senior Citizens there are 60 licensed schools that offer courses leading to the CNA certification. The programs require a minimum of 90 hours of course work split between 50 classroom hours and 40 hours of clinical skills training. For those who qualify, there are programs that will reimburse the entire cost of the CNA schooling if the applicant is hired by a long term care facility before, during, or within twelve months of beginning training. After successfully completing the 5 – 8 week course, the student must pass the Nurse Aide Assessment Examination to become certified and be placed on the New Jersey state nurse registry. This exam is a test that evaluates the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for a nursing assistant position. It has a written portion and a clinical skills portion and should be easily passed by applying the training received from a qualified education program. Once hired, the duties of a CNA are numerous. Attending to patients, taking vitals, monitoring fluid input and output, and observing changes in the patient’s health situation are just a few. Other responsibilities may include helping patients with personal needs such as walking or personal grooming, changing beds, and helping the patient’s family to understand their situation.
