Nursing Programs
Basic Nurse Assistant Program (CNA)
Lincoln Land Community College’s Basic Nurse (CNA) Assistant Program is offered in Jacksonville and Beardstown every eight weeks. It is designed to teach and train men and women to help care for patients and to be effective members of the nursing team under the supervision of a registered professional or licensed practical nurse. Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a certificate of completion and be eligible to take the state competency exam which must be taken to complete the certification. After passing the competency exam, students will receive certification which allows them to work in nursing homes, extended-care facilities, hospitals, and home health services anywhere in Illinois. The CNA Program is a pre-requisite to the Licensed Practical Nurse Program. More information is available at
