Kobel to Lead Instruction for CNA Training at Neodesha

A special entry-level health care industry course is being offered by Independence Community College at Neodesha. The Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) training offers successful completers the training they need to begin a career in medical care and jobs are currently available.

The six-credit hour Certified Nurse Aide course will be offered in Neodesha beginning on Monday, July 11th, and continuing through August 29th. Michelle Kobel, RN, will instruct the course.

The class will meet on Mondays and Thursdays from 5:15-9:00 p.m. at New Beginnings in Neodesha. Clinicals will be held on Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Golden Living Nursing Home.

The CNA course is designed to teach the concepts of direct patient care and apply current nursing assistant practice to patient/resident. Successful completion of this class will allow the student to challenge the Kansas State Examination and become certified by the State Department of Health and Environment. CNA is a 90-hour course specializing in training for long-term care facilities and elderly care. This course is a component of ICC’s Long-Term Care Certification Program.

Entering students must successfully pass the CASAS reading test (6th grade level) before enrolling.
