The Hill College Continuing Education Department recently graduated five Nurse Aide (CNA) students from the program: Ashely Andrez, Cleburne; Rebecca Campbell, Granbury; Brooklyn Kimball, Cleburne; Reese Pate, Alvarado; and Jackeline Powell, Joshua. 

The CNA program is a 112-hour program (72 hours of lecture, 40 hours of clinical) that costs $666. The training provides the skills, knowledge, and abilities essential to provide basic care to residents of long-term care facilities. Students are also prepared for the state certification exam for CNA offered by Texas Health and Human Services Department, and will be prepared for entry-level employment in long-term care facilities, doctor’s offices and hospitals. 

Hill College’s Dean of Continuing Education, Stephen Pape said, “Certified Nurse Aides are needed in hospitals as well as in entities that provide long-term care.”
