State of Utah Candidate Handbook. Registration under the Utah Postsecondary Proprietary School Act does not mean that the State of Utah supervises, recommends, nor accredits the institution. It is the student’s responsibility to determine whether credits, degrees, or certificates from the institution will transfer to other institutions or meet employer’s trainingrequirements. This may be done by calling the prospective school or employer. The institution is not accredited by a regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education. The Wasatch CNA Center offers a Utah Nursing Assistant Registry (UNAR) approved training program so students can take the approved state examinations. Nursing Assistants are defined by law as people who assist licensed nursing personnel in the provision of nursing care. The authorized duties for CNAs include assisting with their client’s daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, transferring, ambulating, feeding, and toileting. CNAs also perform tasks such as measuring vital signs, positioning and range of motion. Utah CNAs must attend a Utah Nursing Assistant Registry (UNAR) approved training program and pass the UNAR approved state examinations to become certified. Certification is required in Utah: CNAs are required by law to have a valid Utah CNA certificate prior to assuming CNA duties. There is one exception: If an individual works in a licensed nursing facility as an uncertified nursing assistant and is seeking initial certification, he/she has four months (120 days) from the date of hire to obtain initial certification.
