CNA observes patients conditions and reports back to the nurse. Work duties may include, but are not limited to, taking vital signs, moving patients, feeding patients, and monitoring food and liquid input and output. A CNA is the eyes and ears of the nurse, and should always have a strong knowledge of emergency procedures and be able to stay calm in stressful situations.

A valid Florida CNA certificate is needed to work as a CNA in Florida.
 
CNA Salary

CNA is an entry-level position and as such, certified nurses assistants receive the lowest salary of all nursing careers. However, the experience gained is invaluable since it provides educational experience in preparation for an advanced nursing career. Average salaries can range from $8/hour to $14/ hour. CNAs working nights, weekends, or in private care usually make substantially more.

 CNA Job Outlook

There are approximately 1.4 million nurses assistants employed in the U.S. CNAs are employed in a variety of facilities including hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and home care.

The job growth for CNAs is faster than average.  With an expected growth of 21% or more by 2014, an estimated 500,000 additional employees will be needed. There are excellent employment opportunities for CNAs around the country.

As the medical field continuously grows, certified nursing assistants are on the frontlines for providing quality patient care. Becoming a CNA is a good idea for someone interested in a medical career but unsure of long-term career goals. A certified nursing assistant job can set you on the fast track to a quality career in the medical field.

There is a lot of turnover in the field of certified nursing assistants. CNAs usually move on to pursue a career as an LPN or RN. This helps to create the high growth rate for CNAs and increased demand for medical professionals.

I just want to say that CNA Kwik Track is a very good school to attend. The instructor is excellent in her training and she makes sure you understand everything before she goes to the next phase. I passed with a perfect score on my clinical and my written so it was worth every dime I spent for this school. Thank you CNA Kwik Track!

My name is Domenick Mucci and I have currently taken the course at CNA Kwik Track. The training was excellent. I would like to see this facility grow to help others to get their certification. I know with their determination and hard efforts this is possible. Thank you for your help and helping others in studying to become the best CNA they can be, with your teaching styles, time and dedication from the great instructors, and their open agenda I thank you! God Bless.

                    -  Domenick

I most definitely recommend CNA Kwik Track! Both instructors are so wonderful; I am so glad I decided to take their class! They were so thorough on each and every skill while making it easy to understand at the same time. They also made me feel comfortable which helped out a lot. When I needed extra practice they had no problem at all, taking the time to work with me until I felt confident. The class was so successful that I passed every single section of the state exam, both written and clinical. I ended up doing so well I didn’t get any feedback from the RN testing me! I am so thankful to them and their class for helping me succeed the first step to the nursing career I’ve always wanted!  Thank you so much CNA KWIK Track!

Nursing homes and assisted living centers rely heavily on CNAs for day-to-day basic care of residents. Nursing assistants are responsible for the resident’s personal care such as bathing, oral care, and feeding assistance.  Nursing assistants also assist in ambulation, exercise, and infection control.  Through these tasks and others, CNAs ensure residents maintain their rights as guaranteed by the Residents’ Bill Of Rights.

CNA Kwik Track’s CNA Exam Prep classes will teach you the correct method of accomplishing these tasks.
