FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Do CNAs handle or administer medicines?
This would depend on the State and the type of training and certification that has been attained. As a general rule, CNAs do not handle or administer medicines. This is the job of the nurses and doctors. However, a CNA may be present and assisting with other nursing tasks when medicines are being administered and a CNA may obtain additional training to become state certified to assist in administering some medicines.
How do I become a CNA?
The first step in the process is to attend and complete a State approved nurse aide training program such as the Front Range Nurse Aide Training Program described on this web-site. Click on the button to the left that is labeled "the program" in order to learn more.
