Nursing, Basic Nurse Assistant Training (BNAT)See also: Associate Degree Nursing The Basic Nurse Assistant Training (BNAT) curriculum offers a basic study of principles and procedures used by the nurse assistant in long term care, home health settings and hospitals, and focuses on basic human needs and care of the elderly. Integration of skills and concepts is acquired through hands-on clinical experience at local health care facilities. This course is approved by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). Upon completion, students may apply to take the Illinois Nurse Assistant/Home Health Aide Competency Exam. Those students who complete BNAT and pass the Competency Exam and a criminal background check will be entered into the IDPH Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) Registry. For students interested in continuing their nursing studies at the college, CNA Certification is a prerequisite. There are three components of the BNA 100 course: theory, lab practice, and clinical. Students must maintain a C or better average throughout the course and pass all three components in order to complete the course. Prerequisites: Students applying to the course must achieve required scores on reading, mathematics, and listening comprehension assessments, and complete an interview with program faculty. Students are required to submit results of a current and complete physical examination. Allied Health curricula are governed by specific objectives, rules and regulations formulated by the College, accrediting bodies and participating clinical facilities. Students should familiarize themselves with these standards. Students should also be aware that failure to maintain satisfactory progress in the course may significantly delay completion of the curriculum or may result in a request for the student to withdraw from the curriculum. Each student's right to participation in the clinical portion of the curriculum is also contingent upon compliance with the rules of the clinical facility. The clinical facility has sole discretion to determine when its rules have been violated. Clinical placement may require a health assessment, certain immunizations, substance abuse testing, specific skill certification and health insurance. The requirements represent an additional program cost to the student. BASIC NURSE ASSISTANT TRAINING CERTIFICATE 7 Semester Credit Hours
