Student CNA Class - NHC HealthCare Fort Oglethorpe

Thank you for your interest in taking the state certified nurse aide training program. Our program is a fast-paced class that is completed in 20 days. To be considered for the class, you must provide the following at the time of your scheduled Pre-Test:

• Completed Application


• Valid Photo Identification


• Social Security Card

We will run a criminal background check as well as consult the Tennessee and/or National Abuse Registry for Children and Adults. No one with a felony conviction, certain misdemeanor charges, and/or found on the abuse registry can be admitted to the class.

Since the class is only a few weeks, no absences or tardiness is permitted. You must maintain a grade average of an 85 to continue in the course.

Books and Supplies ($40) will be needed as a deposit on the first day of class and will be returned upon graduation!

Class hours are from 8:00am to 4:00pm.  Students will need to wear navy blue scrubs. No facial piercings are to be worn to class except for earrings by female students.

Students are chosen based on the facility need, shift availability of the candidate, entrance exam score, flexibility of the candidate, previous work history and attitude. The best qualified candidates for the class will be chosen. It is not based on those who applied first or last on application day.
