CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT If you are interested in helping others, are a hard worker and enjoy encouraging that “satisfied” smile from someone in need, then working as a CNA (certified nursing assistant) may be for you. The CNA has the privilege of meeting the basic needs of our citizens who need it most.

This satisfying profession can be a prerequisite for the nursing program, or a stand-alone opportunity. Classes are taught in the Winfield Allied Health Education Center, Mulvane Center, and on the main campus in Arkansas City. In addition to the CNA course, we offer other courses for the currently working CNA:

The Home Health Aide class instructs the CNA how to help elderly, convalescent, or disabled persons live in their own homes instead of in a health care facility.

The Restorative Aide class trains the CNA to assist therapy departments in long-term care facilities, acute care facilities, and to carry out rehabilitative plans of care in the client’s home.

The Certified Medication Aide class allows the CNA to pass medications and treatments to long-term care residents.

Courses Offered: ALH 5202 Certified Medication Aide ALH 5203 Home Health Aide ALH 5209 Certified Nursing Assistant ALH 5210 Restorative Aide ALH5215 Exploration of Healthcare Professions ALH5218 IV Therapy ALH5237 Phlebotomy

CNA and CMA recertification classes are also available.

A host of other health care and allied health courses is also offered at Cowley College. Additional information can be found in this catalog or online at the Cowley College Web site.

EDUCATION/SECONDARY (Associate of Arts Degree)

To teach in a Kansas public school (grades 6-12); teachers must be certified by the State of Kansas upon completion of a four-year degree. Since secondary education is not a major at the baccalaureate level, students need to select a major and a teaching minor from among those disciplines taught in high schools. Since admission to secondary education is competitive, completion of these courses alone does not guarantee admission. A minimum grade point average determined by the transfer institution and passage of a basic skills test are required for program admission. Students interested in secondary education as a four-year major are encouraged to complete an associate degree prior to transfer. These course recommendations are intended for students who are undecided about a transfer school or secondary (9th – 12th grade) content area of study. Students who have selected a transfer school should consult the catalog of that school for requirements appropriate to the first two

years of study. College catalogs and transfer guides for many four-year colleges are available through Career Services.

LAW (PRE) (Associate of Arts Degree)

A well-rounded background is critical to acceptance into a university law program. The American Bar Association encourages a challenging course schedule rather than a particular degree. Major universities have followed this approach to undergraduate studies for those going into law and suggest that a focus on the arts, science or mathematics can provide the skills needed to succeed in law school as effectively as the more traditional history, ethics or political science. The Association encourages courses requiring critical thinking, research skills and effective writing.

The prerequisite General Education classes for the Associate of Applied Science degree program are comprised of many different disciplines that make the paramedic better rounded and should enhance career mobility. It is strongly recommended that the student complete as much of the General Education requirements as possible before starting the technical paramedic classes. Prior to starting the paramedic program, the student must have EMT or AEMT certification or be finishing a course that would allow the student to obtain EMT or AEMT certification early in the paramedic program. Students typically start the paramedic technical classes during the second year of school. Technical classes are provided on a block scheduling system (finish one entire class before starting another). During this phase of the AAS completion, the student will have classes almost every day for the program. Please note that the schedule above is for the 12-month paramedic program; other schedules add approximately one semester to the timeframe of completion.

PSYCHOLOGY (Associate of Arts Degree)

An Associate of Arts degree in psychology/sociology is an excellent stepping-stone for students interested in people.

The combination of the two fields gives students a more complete picture of how we all fit into our world. Students interested in either psychology or sociology as a four-year major should be aware that these course recommendations are intended for students who are undecided about a transfer school.

SOCIAL WORK (Associate of Arts Degree)

The profession of social work is devoted to helping people function optimally in their environment by providing direct and indirect services to individuals, families, groups, and communities. Time and talents of social workers are also devoted to studying and helping to solve social problems in American society. Bachelor’s degree programs in social work prepare students for careers in public and private agencies such as child welfare agencies, housing agencies, rehabilitation agencies, the mental health field, and other helping fields. After completing your bachelor’s degree in Social Work (BSW), social workers are encouraged to take the state board test to be licensed (LBSW). After licensing, social workers are able to find employment in numerous agencies and with the state government. Students should complete the Associate of Arts degree prior to transfer and should be aware that it may be necessary to take additional credit hours depending on the requirements of the intended transfer institution. Since admission to social work programs is competitive, completion of the recommended courses alone does not guarantee admission. These course recommendations are intended for students who are undecided about a transfer school. Students who have selected a transfer school should consult the catalog of that school and an academic advisor for requirements appropriate to the first two years of study.

WELDING TECHNOLOGY (Associate of Applied Science Degree)

Welding Technology is an associate degree or certificate program that combines practical, theoretical, and technical training in welding fabrication. Manual, semiautomatic, and automatic processes using oxy fuel and arc welding processes in SMAW, GMAW, GTAW, and plasma are covered. Advanced courses deal with application of welding codes to develop the expertise needed to understand specifications used in industry. Training is done on both structural and piping materials in mild steel, stainless, and aluminum alloys. Program graduates typically find employment as welding technicians, robotic welding technicians, and technical sales representatives. As such, they are responsible for one or more of the following: welding metal alloys, fabricating metals to specifications, troubleshooting faulty weldments, writing procedures, interpreting conventional and computer-aided prints, and selling and servicing equipment.
