FAQs
NATP (Nursing Assitant Training Program)
What does a NA do?
A Nursing Assistant works in medical care facilities or in hospice environments to help Nurses in providing care to patients. They often help patients with basic daily activities, like dressing, bathing, standing or exercising. Nursing Assistants will typically work with Nurses and Physicians to determine a patient’s health issues and receive and follow a treatment plan to help the patients return to stable health.
They’re also responsible for taking note of the patient’s progress and recording their food and liquid intakes for the nursing staff to review. A Nurse evaluates these results and instructs the Nursing Assistant to follow their adjusted treatment plan for the patient.
How much Does a NA make?
In California, on average, Nursing assistants make $17-$24 per hour, or $36,800 – $49,920 annually
How long from the time of graduation can I get certified?
- You get certified immediately after graduation. We are a testing site for the NATP. All our students take their certifying exam on the last day of class. The cost of the state exam is not included in your tuition
How many times can you take the certification exam?
- You can take the exam 3 times within a 30 days waiting period between each try. You must pass on the 3rd try, if not you will have to retake the 5 weeks class
How much does the certification exam cost?
- The state test to be certified as Nursing assistant is $130.
Who does a Nursing Assistant report to?
Nursing Assistants typically report to Nurses on their medical care team. They usually work closely with Nurses to complete more basic care tasks, while the Nurses complete more complex work items. Nurses usually review and analyze a Nursing Assistant’s performance and provide them with advice and guidance on how to improve the care they provide patients.
Some Nursing Assistants are assigned one Nurse to work closely with each day, while others may assist several different Nurses at a time during each shift.
What are the different types of Nursing Assistants?
Nursing Assistants can work in a wide variety of settings, specializing in certain types of healthcare. Some of them may work as clinical Nursing Assistants, where they operate in a clinic or private practice, offering assistance and support to Nurses and Physicians. If they’d rather work in a more fast-paced environment, Nursing Assistants may work in a hospital, where they must respond to more emergency-level and high-pressure situations when handling patients and their health.
Other Nursing Assistants will work in hospice care, traveling to the patients’ home and helping them complete basic physical tasks. There are also Nursing Assistants who work in nursing or residential care facilities assisting the elderly in bathing, cleaning or other caregiver tasks.
What’s the difference between a Nursing Assistant and a Medical Assistant?
Though they share many similar tasks, there are some key differences between a Nursing and Medical Assistant. A Nursing Assistant works closely with patients, usually long-term, to complete basic activities like bathing, getting out of bed and using the restroom.
Medical Assistants often work on clerical tasks, like checking patients in for appointments, showing them to their rooms and tracking patients’ health records. These employees typically only spend a temporary amount of time with the patient during their appointment or brief stay at the hospital. Nursing Assistants usually work with the same patients each day and build a lasting relationship with them
