About the Training Program

The need for dependable bedside nursing care is as prevalent as ever, ranging from hospitals to home health agencies to long-term care facilities. The Certified Nursing Assistant or CNA plays an important role, providing basic care while ensuring the safety and comfort of patients. Bay College's training program prepares the student for immediate employment as a nursing assistant.

Bay’s Nurse Aide training program prepares students to work in nursing assistant positions in both Michigan and Wisconsin. The 3-week, 96-hour training, is designed for individuals looking to increase their skillset in a short amount of time and upon completion offers many employment opportunities. The program includes intensive lecture and lab, a clinical component and a state exam preparation.

Upon successful completion of this program, students can apply for Certification by taking the nationally recognized standardized nurse aide competency exam through Prometric for the State of Michigan, and will be listed on the Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) Registry.
