KANSAS PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP ELIGIBLE PROGRAM
If you are interested in helping others, are a hard worker and enjoy encouraging that “satisfied” smile from someone in need, then working as a CNA (certified nursing assistant) may be for you. The CNA has the privilege of meeting the basic needs of our citizens who need it most.
This satisfying profession can be a prerequisite for a nursing program, or a stand-alone opportunity. Classes are scheduled at the Winfield Allied Health Education Center, Mulvane Center, and Sumner/Wellington locations and often combine face-to-face learning with online course conten in a hybrid format. In addition to the CNA course, we offer other courses for the currently working CNA:
- The Home Health Aide Class class instructs the CNA how to help elderly, convalescent, or disabled persons live in their own homes instead of in a health care facility.
- The Restorative Aide class trains the CNA to assist therapy departments in long-term care facilities, acute care facilities, and to carry out rehabilitative plans of care in the client’s home.
- The Certified Medication Aide class allows the CNA to pass medications and treatments to long-term care residents.

Courses Offered:

A host of other health care and allied health courses are also offered at Cowley College. Additional information can be found in this catalog or online at the Cowley College Web site.
