Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) In Training - Bay Bluffs

Become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) In-Training

No experience needed!

No cost to you!

CNAs are an important foundation of our care team.  CNAs help to provide the best quality care for our residents.
Considered the following statements:

• I've considered a career in healthcare but don't know where to start.
  • START HERE! Certified Nursing Assistants In-Training will begin working before they take the certification courses.  They will assist with tasks that support resident quality of life until a class is available. This allows time to get to know the residents and to feel comfortable in the healthcare atmosphere before making the transition to becoming a CNA.
• I enjoy caring for people.
  • That's our kind of people. Care giving is hard work, but it is also rewarding.  It is our privilege to provide care for our residents—a privilege we have the honor of performing.       
• I want to take the CNA Class but I can't afford the fees and I can't afford to go without pay for 2 weeks.   
  • Bay Bluffs will pay for training, wages while in training, testing fees, and registration fees with the State of MI.  You really can get into healthcare at no cost to you!
  • NCMC has partnered with Bay Bluffs to create a CNA Fast Track program.  The education part of class is taught at NCMC (North Central Michigan College) by Bay Bluffs nurses and clinicals are at Bay Bluffs.
