This program is designed for those whose native
language is not English, who understand a moderate
amount of English, and who wish to enter the field of
nursing. Students will be given the tools to improve
their speaking, reading, and writing skills while they
attend the Certified Nurse Aide in a Long Term Care
Facility (CNA) course. Students will develop the skills
necessary to care competently for the predominately
geriatric client. Upon successful completion of the
90-hour course (50 hours classroom and 40 hours
clinical), students will be eligible to take the New
Jersey State Nurse Aide in Long Term Care Facility
Exam. Students can be absent no more than two
classes. Additional hours may be required for those
students who need extra help. According to the New
Jersey Department of Health, CNA candidates
do not need a high school diploma to become
licensed, however, a prerequisite for certification
is passing criminal background check and other
documentation as noted on the NJ Department of
Health website.

or Tax ID to first class. Admission requirements:
complete physical examination including flu/
Covid-19 vaccine, background check, purchase
