CNA at ECC

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

I will be taking Nursing 103 this coming Fall at El Camino College.

This is the course description:

This course prepares the student to function as an entry-level worker on a health care team in a long-term care facility. Focus will be on preparing the student to provide direct care to the patient/resident; promote comfort measures; and collect, record and report data to licensed personnel. Principles of critical thinking, team building, ethics, caring and cultural sensitivity are integrated throughout the course. The student will be eligible for certification by the State of California as a nurse assistant upon satisfactory completion of this course and the State Competency Evaluation.

This means that after the course I can take the State Competency Evaluation, and become a CNA, right? I mean that's my understanding and I want to make sure I haven't missed out on anything.

Is anyone else taking/has taken this course? What should I expect?

Thank you all! :)

P.s what's the average salary for CNA's in So. Cal?
