Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Becoming an Advanced Nurse Aide is a noble and excellent career choice for anyone who would like to be on the front lines of the growing health care industry with intimate experience in patient care. As someone considering enrolling in our Advanced Nurse Aide program, you may have many questions on what to expect from your new career. The following are some common questions that we at ABC Training Center have received and answered to help you stay informed during your career journey.
What is an Advanced Nurse Aide?
Advanced Nurse Aides are Nursing Assistants who have also been trained in phlebotomy and performing EKG’s. The Advanced Nurse Aide works in conjunction with medical staff to provide needs for disabled or infirmed patients that need support in completing daily tasks such as showering, dressing and eating. ANAs have a variety of workplaces to choose from, such as hospitals, rehab centers, dialysis centers, and nursing facilities.
What does a Advanced Nurse Aide do in a hospital?
ANAs, in short, are professionals that aid patients that cannot perform daily tasks on their own. They help to bathe, feed, dress, and transport patients, and provide other basic needs while providing needed emotional support. They also monitor patient vital signs, perform EKG’s and draw blood.
What are the qualifications for a ANA?
If you are already a Nurse Aide, you need only take the EKG/Phlebotomy program at ABC to become a PCT. If you are not already an NA, take our “Advanced Nurse Aide” course, which consists of NA, EKG, and Phlebotomy training.
How long does it take to become a Advanced Nurse Aide?
You can receive the ANA certification in as little as 8 weeks
Is CPR required to become a ANA?
No. However, we strongly suggest that aspiring Advanced Nurse Aides take “CPR for Medical Professionals” which includes Automated External Defibrillator Training.
What are the job limitations of an Advanced Nurse Aide?
ANAs cannot provide analysis of disease, provide an official diagnosis to patients, or administer medication.
In addition to being a common gateway into nursing, the career prospects for ANAs are positive, with many hospitals and care centers looking for quality caretakers, as the total number of healthcare related occupations are projected to increase, and the role continues to evolve in the medical community. Overall, it can prove to be a demanding job that requires a certain level of dedication while providing a high level of personal satisfaction and experience in the medical field.
Preparing ANA’s for an Important Medical Role
Although the job seems similar to that of a Nursing Aide, our technician training courses are different than NA classes in The Bronx. The training process is more focused on the tasks an ANA is expected to perform. These include working as a phlebotomist and using an electrocardiogram (EKG).
In addition to being upbeat, calm, and caring, they must be ready to respond to anything abnormal and tend to personal cleanliness, for any patient who is sick, elderly, or disabled. Patient care often involves bathing and grooming and assisting with patient transfers during emergencies and during the course of medical care. Aside from maintaining a safe environment or assisting with the administration of medications or medical treatments, the ANA must be able to work with others, from nurses and physicians to paramedics.
A certified training program is required to become qualified as an Advanced Nurse Aide. The difference between our program and others is that participants only need to take an entrance exam. A high school diploma is not required, although the exam requirement is waived for high school graduates who enroll in the program. The educational curriculum does involve some classroom time.
Participants also take part in laboratory exercises and spend hours in a clinical setting to obtain the experience necessary to master the duties of patient care, conducting an electrocardiogram, or completing a phlebotomy procedure.
