Padr\u00f3n Campus became the fifth Miami Dade College campus to offer a certified nursing assistant program when it launched classes for a cohort this fall for the rapidly-growing field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The program is also offered at the Medical, North, Homestead and West campuses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA couple of years ago, [the College] put out that scholarship funds for certified nursing assistants were available,\u201d said Padr\u00f3n Campus President Oscar Loynaz. \u201c[MDC] had over 300 people respond saying they were interested. We realized it was an in-demand profession, and there&#8217;s a lot of employment opportunities in our communities.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certified nursing assistants work under the supervision of registered or licensed practical nurses. They help patients with day-to-day activities, such as walking, dressing, and bathing, as well as measuring and recording vital signs, provide catheter care and transport patients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last spring, construction of the Padr\u00f3n facility, which is a 781 sq. ft. lab and mimics a hospital setting, began. The site located in Room 1124, officially opened on Oct. 26.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It includes four long tables at the center of the room, each seating four students and electric hospital beds on each corner, surrounded by a wrap-around curtain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each bed has a human mannequin. Bedpans, washcloths, bath towels, a wheelchair, foldable walkers and linen carts are used to simulate daily responsibilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGenerally, I like to start with the more challenging tasks, the clinical skills,\u201d said professor Debra Lee Tad. \u201cWe practice two or three related skills, and after lunch, we either [continue] or review past exam questions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Padr\u00f3n campus began recruiting students for the program last summer. The initial cohort of 12 students received the Open Door Grant, which covers tuition, textbooks, uniforms, supplies, background checks and exam fees for the 12-week course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be eligible for the state certification exam, students will complete 100 hours of class lectures and hands-on practice in the lab and 20 clinical hours at local rehabilitation centers, such as St. Catherine&#8217;s West, Ponce Plaza and Jackson Gardens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spring registration is open for the next cohort, which will be held from Jan. 25 to March 22. Classes are held on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe program is really awesome,\u201d said Genesis Rivas, a Padr<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00f3n CNA student. \u201cIt\u2019s very practical and the professor is very knowledgeable. I already recommend it for someone who wants to enter the medical field and doesn&#8217;t know how.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information, visit <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/4px4t3nd\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/4px4t3nd<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click<\/span><\/i><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.us19.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=4fc6146412415baee32007fd7&amp;id=b5cd3712dc\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> here<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to subscribe to our bi-weekly newsletter, The Hammerhead.
