Medication Administration Certification
Program Overview
This non-credit program prepares students to administer routine medications to patients in nursing facilities, assisted living environments, correctional institutions and more. The career path is similar to that of the Certified Nursing Assistance (CNA) program, giving students the opportunity to work under licensed nurses who can train you to move up even further in your career goals. Following the successful completion of training, candidates for certification apply to the Alabama Board of Nursing to be certified through the National Council of State Boards of Nursing. A criminal/consumer background check and drug screen will be required. Students must be at least 17 years of age by the program’s completion. The total cost of this program will be $1,000, which includes drug and background screen, books, lab fee, and instruction.
