NURSE
AIDE-ASSISTANT I & II TRAINING PROGRAM
This is a 135-hour course
designed to train a Nurse Aide Assistant who can function effectively and
safely in a long or short term care hospital, extended care facility, or
home. The course term requirement is broken into 85 classroom hours and 50
clinical hours.
The content of the course
is divided into classroom, laboratory, and clinical education, which
provides learning experiences that will enhance each student’s
competency in the program area.

classroom to utilize the resources of the nursing facility in order to
teach the application of skills for direct patient care. Clinical
education will be supervised and directed by the instructor.
A competency-based
teaching approach to knowledge and skill development is used to evaluate
each student objectively for achievement of acceptable performance of the
specific learning objectives.
Graduates of the program

the State Department of Education. The additional cost of the competency
evaluation testing procedure will be at the expense of each student.
