CNA Classes in Delaware

CNA classes in Delaware can prepare you for a career as a certified nursing assistant. According to the 2010 to 2011 edition of the Occupational Outlook Handbook, CNAs help patients in a variety of ways, including getting them dressed or bathed, helping them eat, taking their temperature or blood pressure or setting up medical equipment. With the increased aging population, job opportunities for CNAs are excellent. Delaware requires CNA programs to gain approval by the Division of Long Term Care Residents Protection. In addition, to enroll in any of the classes, you must submit to a background check, a drug screening and tuberculosis testing.
