DESCRIPTION:
The Nurse Assistant Program will prepare you, as an entry-level nursing assistant, who will achieve a level of knowledge, skills, and abilities essential to provide basic care to residents of long-term care facilities.

Emphasis will be placed on effective interaction with members of the healthcare team. You will be eligible to sit for the Texas Registry examination. (100 hrs.) Clinical experience: Typically, staff will schedule your Certified Nurse Aide clinical experience during the regular class schedule. However, due to the clinical facility’s availability, certain changes may affect your clinical schedule. You must have flexibility in your schedule in order to fulfill clinical requirements. This applies to students enrolling in day OR evening classes.
