Nurse Aide Training Program
The Nurse Aide Program, or nurses assistant program, is designed to prepare students for a career as a nurses aide and to take the Prometric State Test to become a Certified Nurse Aide. Upon completion of the program they have the knowledge and competent skills to work in facilities for long-term care. This is a great entry point into the health care industry.
The Nurse Aide salary is dependent on the location, but is over $28,000 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
You will receive instruction by Registered Nurses. Our instructors go beyond preparing you for the exam and prepare you for a real life workplace environment.
The curriculum consists of 36 lecture hours, 36 hours of lab work and 24.5 hours of clinical experience. Included is also four hours of CPR training for a total of 100.5 hours.
At Charter, you can quickly complete your training in as little as four weeks.
