A Home Health Aide course will be offered in July in Independence as part of Independence Community College’s Summer Allied Health course offerings. Class size is limited and only a few seats remain. Interested persons are encouraged to enroll now for guaranteed placement.
The one-credit hour Home Health Aide Class will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning July 5th and continuing through July 21st. Gayle L. Barnes, RN, BSN, will teach the evening class from 5:00-9:30 p.m. at ICC West, 2615 W. Main, in room W103.
The Home Health Aide course is built upon the basics of CNA training, and acquaints the student with the home care environment. Students will perform specialized skills needed when caring for the patient living at home. This course is built upon the Kansas Certified 20-Hour Home Health Aide Curriculum Guidelines from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Prerequisite: Kansas certified nurse aide certification and successful passing of the CASAS reading test (8th grade level). Successful completion of this class will allow the student to take the Kansas State Examination to become certified by the State Department of Health and Environment.
