Advanced Nurse Aide (ACNA)

Instructional Mode: Learn@Home and On Campus (Hybrid – Instructor-led)
   
Our comprehensive 140-hour Virginia Board of Nursing (VBON) approved training program prepares current Certified Nurse Aides (CNA) to provide advanced care services as well as participate in leadership activities and basic wound care to clients in the acute care, outpatient care, or long-term care settings.  The course consists of the following:

• 80 hours of didactic instruction
• 20 hours of skills lab instruction, and
• 40 hours of direct patient care in a skilled nursing facility

The instructional portion will be presented online in a blended format: Synchronous (through Live Zoom) and Asynchronous (Assignments completed at home during an assignment period). Modules will include narrated power points, readings, quizzes, and other assignments. Students will attend in-person skills labs and clinicals for application of learning, i.e., practice skills, role plays, and mentoring practices. Upon successful completion, you will be eligible to register with the Virginia Board of Nursing as an Advanced Certified Nurse Aide ($25 fee not included). No additional testing is required for VBON certification.  
 

• 100% attendance is required in addition to any requirements set by the instructor to complete the class successfully. 
• Be advised: Clinical dates and times are subject to change related to situations we cannot control (such as COVID outbreaks). Any changes will be communicated as soon as they are available to all registered students.
