Nursing Assistant I (CNA 1)
Oregon has one of the most rigorous CNA pathways in the United States, set and enforced by the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) - the same board that regulates RNs and LPNs. The Oregon CNA program requires 155 training hours (80 classroom/lab + 75 clinical), more than double the federal OBRA 75-hour minimum, reflecting Oregon's strong emphasis on geriatric care and patient safety.
Our directory lists 1 state-approved Certified Nurse Aide training program in White City, OR. All programs must meet Oregon's minimum of 155 hours minimum (more than double the federal 75-hour OBRA standard) and prepare graduates to sit for the D&SDT-Headmaster competency exam.
To work as a CNA in White City, you must meet a Oregon-approved training program of at least 155 hours minimum (more than double the federal 75-hour OBRA standard), pass the D&SDT-Headmaster competency exam (Two-part Oregon CNA exam: a 75-question multiple-choice knowledge test (90 minutes, 75% passing score) plus a 5-skill hands-on skills evaluation (35-minute time limit), administered by D&SDT-Headmaster), and clear a Fingerprint-based criminal history check through Fieldprint Inc. (approximately $70.50) submitted to OSBN before certification is issued. Most candidates complete the full process in 10-16 weeks (155-hour program completion plus 2-4 weeks for OSBN application processing and fingerprint clearance).
No White City program on our directory currently advertises free tuition, but many Oregon nursing facilities pay for CNA training in exchange for a work commitment after certification. Ask local long-term care employers about employer-sponsored training programs, and check the American Red Cross and Job Corps for additional pathways.
