General Questions

  • What is your TB testing policy?

    All Students who attend clinicals must be deemed clinically free of tuberculosis prior to clinical rotations. The office must have records before you attend clinicals. 


    We accept medical documentation of any one of the following:

    • TB Blood test- Quantiferon, TSpot, or TB Gold or
    • Chest x-ray or
    • 2 skin tests- You must have the intradermal injection 2 times at least a week apart. This requires 4 trips to the doctor’s office. You get the injection, return 2 days later to have it read. A week later you will get another injection, go back 2 days later, and have it read again.

    Many doctor’s offices and clinics do not routinely give blood tests and may tell you all you need is one skin test. Please explain to them that this is for school/ clinical purposes. You must follow our policy. If you have a current one-step TB skin test

    (within the past year from your clinical dates), you will need the second step, or may opt

    to get the TB blood test.

  • How do the online SRNA/CNA classes work?

    All coursework will be completed online at your own pace other than 5 in-person sessions. 


    When registering, you will select an orientation day, this will be your start day. Class will meet from 8 am – 12pm. We will go over requirements, logging in, what to study, and begin learning some of the required skills. 


    The course will conclude with four days in person — two days of skill training and two consecutive days of Clinicals, which you will schedule while attending orientation. We have weekday and weekend options for skills and clinicals. All online coursework must be completed before attending clinical dates.

  • What do I need to bring on first day of classes?

    We ask that our students bring note taking materials, highlighters, pencils, etc. If you have a laptop, it would be helpful to bring that, as you will be taking tests on the computer. We have chrome books for student use. You are welcome to bring your lunch if you would like. We have a refrigerator and microwave for our students to use. You can also leave to get lunch. There are several fast food places nearby.


    We will need a copy of your social security card, ID, and TB test as well. 

  • What happens if I miss a day of class?

    For the SRNA course, you MUST attend the first two days of class. If you miss one of the first two days, you cannot go to clinicals and must make up the corresponding day with the next class. If you miss any days outside of the first two, you can just make them up on your own time by sitting in with another class. However, if you miss three or more days, you must make up your time before you can go to clinicals.


    For Phlebotomy and CCMA, you can still make up any days that you miss but the same three-day rule applies. If you miss three or more days, you cannot go to your clinicals until the time is made up.


    For EKG, we highly encourage perfect attendance. This is a very intense high information course. However, if you do miss a day you can make up your time.

    **It should be noted that ALL students are allowed 90 days from their start date to make up any time missed. Should they fail to comply to this policy, they may be required to restart their program.

  • What do I need to wear to class?

    Royal Blue (UK blue) scrubs are preferred for class sessions. If you already have scrubs, any color is fine. 

  • I’m under 18, can I still take the courses?

    You can take the SRNA course if you are at least 16 years of age and have parental consent. However, you may have difficulty finding work as most facilities will only hire 18 and over. Some long-term care facilities will hire at 16.

  • What if I fail the class?

    We very rarely have any students who do not pass our course. We work with our students as best we can to ensure that everyone passes. However, if a student does fail, the owner can help work with that student individually to come up with a solution.

  • I’ve had an emergency and can’t attend class. Can I reschedule?

    We understand that things come up and life happens. We will work with students who have issues with attending class on a case-by-case basis.

  • Inclement weather?

    We will send an email by 7 am if classes are cancelled.We follow UK University, if they cancel, we will also cancel.

  • Do you offer CPR classes?

    Yes, and students, both current and past get a $10 discount.
