SRNA Classes Lexington, KY

CNAs (SRNA) spend more time with patients than any member of the health care team. They assist patients with toileting, grooming, dressing, mobility and eating. Due to the time they spend with the residents at long-term care facilities, they often function as the “eyes and ears” of the patient care team and report critical changes to their supervisors. CNAs should be knowledgeable in emergency procedures. Their calm and collected persona helps them remain calm under stress and provide compassionate care to help restore resident health so that they can reach their optimum level of performance. The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services requirements for training and competency testing ensure CNAs have the skills and knowledge to execute their duties on the job. After obtaining state certification, SRNAs go on to work in rehabilitation centers, hospitals, nursing homes, adult day care centers, long-term care facilities, hospice, and patients’ homes.
