Nursing Assistant Training Program

The nursing assistant course is composed of 60 hours of theory and 108 hours of Clinical training. With the Covid -19 Waiver, we are able to complete Theory with distance learning. Instructors will meet with students via Zoom for theory. Clinicals/Skills will be held in the classroom and at the facility. This option has been very beneficial to students.
