Mercyhealth Nursing Assistant Training Program Application

This accelerated 88-hour program is offered over 4 weeks with students attending 8 days of lecture and 4 days of clinical. Classes are held Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 8am-4:30pm at MercyCare Building, and clinicals are held Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 6:15am-3pm at Mercyhealth Hospital and Trauma Center - Janesville. We typically schedule a "Meet & Greet" session on the Monday or Friday before the start of class, for you to meet your instructors, take badge photos, and obtain your textbooks.

PROGRAM EXPECTATIONS
Students are expected to arrive on time and follow program guidelines regarding cell phone use, dress code (including no artificial nails), and professional conduct. Students are given homework each class and are expected to actively participate in group discussion, activities, and hands-on skill demonstration with students, instructors, and manikins as appropriate. In each class, students will be tested on the previous class material.

Students must score an 80% to pass the course to be eligible to sit for the Wisconsin state CNA exam (including knowledge and skills return demonstration).
