About the Program
NCC’s Nurse Aide program is an intensive 120-hour course that consists of lecture, skill labs and clinical to prepare participants with the skills needed to take the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program Competency Examination (NNAAP) for placement on the Pennsylvania Nurse Aide Registry.
As a CNA, you can work in a long-term care facility, hospital or other healthcare setting. This program is ideal for entry into the growing healthcare industry or to satisfy field experience requirements towards an advanced degree. Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers (BLS) is included. There is no absenteeism allowed for the duration of the course.
Classes are held at both our Fowler Family Southside Center and our Pocono campus.
