Certified Nursing Assistants are an important member of the allied health professional team. They provide hands-on care including bathing, dressing and supporting patients in a dignified manner and under the supervision of a registered nurse.
Since 2019, the Clinical Partner Training Program at Baptist Health South Florida has prepared participants to challenge the Florida Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) exam. Participants attend a 6-week accelerated program which includes didactic lecture and hands-on skills training. We offer day and evening classes at our South and North Campus locations.

Baptist Health is an approved Prometric in-facility testing site for the Florida CNA exam and offers on-site exam testing at our Baptist Health South Florida Corporate Center location.
The Program includes weekly lectures and skills training. There is also a Basic Life Support (BLS) course incorporated into the program, which is scheduled after your start date.
