KIND Health & Leadership Academy

---

KIND Health and Leadership Academy is a CNA training school like no other. Outside of the state required curriculum, we offer leadership development and financial literacy courses that are also a part of the program curriculum. We believe that it is essential for CNA's who are entering the workforce to understand how to lead, how to manage work loads and how to communicate effectively. All of which are covered at KIND Academy. 

The classes cover a broad range of topics, ranging from how to bathe a patient, to positioning a patient properly. You will learn about abuse and neglect, how to feed and dress a patient, proper body mechanics for lifting and turning patients. Also, topics such as recognizing depression, dealing with dementia, infection control issues, and catheter care. There is much to learn, and the classroom time is 60 hours that is partly theory training and part hands on skills training. The clinical aspect is 40 hours and that is where you will be working during shifts at a clinical site and mastering all the skills you were taught during your theory and skills training.

At the end of clinical class, students who attain a passing grade will then be awarded the certificate of completion from KIND Health and Leadership Academy, and then be allowed to sign up for the state exam to become licensed Certified Nurses Aides. The test will be administered to determine competency. This test consists of two parts, written and clinical. The written test is made up of basic care giving questions, all of which will be covered during class hours. The clinical test consists of performing five random nursing duties while a state examiner oversees your procedure. The duties you may be asked to perform can be anything from giving a bedpan to weighing a patient.

Our Mission here at KIND Health and Leadership Academy is to provide an experience that properly prepares our students to enter the workforce ready for the realities of our healthcare situation today.
