Nurse aides play a vital role in the healthcare team and are in critical shortage in our community! Work alongside nurses and physicians in a variety of inpatient and outpatient care settings such as long-term care facilities, hospitals, medical offices, clinics and home settings. Instructional topics include quality resident care, personal care skills, basic nursing skills, applying nutrition and hydration, recognizing and preventing opioid and substance abuse, professional workplace behavior, ethics and the legal aspects of health care. Students gain hands-on experience in taking and documenting vital signs, infection control procedures and assisting with activities of daily living.

Students must successfully complete a 40-hour offsite clinical experience to demonstrate skill competency. Upon successful completion of this program, students are eligible to sit for the Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) licensure exam offered by the Virginia Board of Nursing (VBON).

This program is approved by the Virginia Board of Nursing (VBON) which requires that Nurse Aide programs are a minimum of 140 contact hours.

Tuition includes the costs for criminal background check, drug screen, TB test, BLS-CPR book/course/certification as well as two sets of scrubs, a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff.

What Other Students Said

"Proper way sells and applying book knowledge to practice situations less unstructured time would be helpful in paying attention to large lectures."

"I think it would be even better if you added more real life or personal examples of experiences in the clinical setting. Also, having little review quizzes (not graded) would be helpful too."

"The blood pressure cuffs/equipment stuck often. But, other than that the equipment worked fairly well. It would have been better if the laundry was cleaned more frequently."
