Training Objectives

Nursing Assistant Program's objective is to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to pass the State Competency Exam for Nursing Assistants and gain employment as a Nursing Assistant. The program curriculum reflects all of the current guideline requirements of the Nurse Aide Resident Abuse Training Act, which states that nurse aide training must give specific emphasis to identifying abuse situations, understanding what abuse is, and learning methods and techniques to prevent long-term-care resident abuse from occurring.  Throughout the training program, emphasis is placed on patient rights and the preservation of dignity and independence of long-term-care facility residents.

School Facilities

The Nursing Assistant Program includes a clinical skills lab equipped with standard patient care equipment used for practicing basic nursing skills and resident care procedures.  After completion of all class and lab sessions, students will be required to spend approximately 2 weeks at a nearby long-term-care facility where they will perform their clinical externship, under the supervision of a clinical instructor.  The clinical externship commences immediately after students complete all required classes; however, a short delay may occasionally occur at the discretion of the long-term-care facility.
