About the Program
Northwest Care Academy's Hybrid CNA Program is designed for students who want greater flexibility without sacrificing the practical training needed for a healthcare career.
During the first two weeks, students complete online coursework at their own pace while meeting required deadlines. This portion of the program introduces essential nursing assistant knowledge, including patient care, infection prevention, safety procedures, communication, and daily living assistance.
Students then transition into hands-on skills labs, where they practice nursing assistant techniques under the guidance of experienced instructors. Supervised clinical training provides opportunities to apply those skills in a real healthcare setting.
With a combination of online education and practical experience, the Hybrid CNA Program helps students build the confidence, knowledge, and skills needed to pursue nursing assistant certification in Oregon.
