How to Start Your Own CNA Business?

A CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) or Nurse Aide is a member of the healthcare industry, and it is their responsibility to carry out healthcare jobs assigned to them by the Registered Nurse (RN) working with them.

There is much demand for courses that train Nurse Aides. As such, many entrepreneurs have come to the forefront to start Nurse Aide training courses. Following are some tips on how to start your own CNA business:

Review State Needs While considering whether to begin one’s program for training nurse aides, consider first the regulatory needs of the state. The federal rule is a minimum of 75 hours of training that comprises 16 hours of supervised practical training in a clinical setting. The particular state may go beyond these stipulations and include additional didactic information, skills,

and tasks required for program approval. One must follow the required training hours of one’ state.

Identify a Team of Instruction One needs a program director and lead instructor for shepherding the course. But Director of nursing must not be the primary instructor since it would be risky to get him or her pulled away from duties for a long time. The lead instructor must be highly qualified. As for other instructors, they must have 2-year work experience as an RN with one year in longterm care. They should have experience in teaching nurse aides or taken classes in adult learning theory. Some states stipulate attendance in a ‘Train the Trainer’ course.

Arrange Resources and Space While starting a program, ascertain whether one has adequate space. Space must be welcoming, open, and conducive for learning. One needs a quiet area where students can concentrate.

Formulate Policies The next step is to determine policies for instructors and students. For this, one must check with state stipulations.

Some of the elements include attendance of instructors and students, grading criteria, extra hours, etc.

Plan for Attracting Students Another key to plan one’s training program is how to recruit nurse aide students. Do extensive marketing of one’s program

for this objective. Above all, one needs students who have the right training and inclination.

In sum, one must strategically plan all elements of one’s program. By following the above tips for how to start your own CNA business, you are set for success.
