Classes

Nursing Assistant

260-300 hours. Complete in 12 to 16 weeks.

Learn to provide hands-on care to those who are unable to care for themselves. Through lecture and hands-on skills practice, you learn  to bathe, dress, feed, and assist patients with toileting as well as report changes in a patient’s physical or mental status to the supervising nurse. This program prepares students for the Certified Nurse Assistant examination which is taken upon completion of the course. At that time, students become certified as a Nurse Assistant by the State of California, and can work in rehabilitation and long-term care facilities such as convalescent hospitals, and through an agency or in a private home.

Home Health Aide

50 hours. Complete in 2 weeks.

After becoming a Certified Nurse Assistant (C.N.A.), if you wish to receive certification as a Home Health Aide, you may complete an additional 50 hours of training that includes lecture and skills practice.

You will learn to help elderly, convalescent, or disabled persons in their homes instead of a health facility. Home Health Aides are in high demand in licensed home care agencies to provide basic nursing care in private homes or hospice programs under the supervision of Registered Nurses. 

These programs are offered at Centre City Campus and require participation in a program application process prior to enrollment.
