Sheridan College to Host CNA Info Session Next Week

Sheridan College will host a CNA information session early next week. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

The Certified Nursing Assistant course at Sheridan College prepares students for entry-level employment in the healthcare field. The CNA program will host a free information session Monday, March 7 at 4 pm at the Sheridan College Broadway Center, room 134, located at 245 Broadway Street in Sheridan. The next CNA course at Sheridan College begins on Wednesday, March 16. According to a release from Sheridan College, attendees will learn about how becoming a CNA can help launch a rewarding career in healthcare, class requirements, and costs of the class. Students no longer have to complete prerequisites before they can register, as they will have the opportunity to complete them during the class.

The Sheridan College CNA course consists of seven weeks of online learning, followed by five days of in-person labs and on-site clinicals. Students will attain the skills and knowledge they need to take the certification examinations administered by the Wyoming State Board of Nursing that are required to become a CNA. This accredited CNA course prepares students for employment at hospitals, long–term care facilities, and home-care services. For attendees’ safety, social distancing measures will be in place, hand sanitizer will be available and face coverings are encouraged.
