The Basic Nursing
Assistants Training Program prepares students for an entry-level
career in healthcare. The course integrates basic nursing
concepts and skills with current trends in patient care. The
student is trained and equipped with knowledge and skills above the
basic requirements of the state for nursing assistants.
Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is taken as a separate unit where the student
receives certification in Basic Life Support for Healthcare
Providers and First Aid. A more comprehensive view of Anatomy
and Physiology, as well as Medical Terminology is provided for a
better understanding of the student's role as healthcare provider.
Career Development seminars/workshops are incorporated in the
program to prepare students for employment. Upon successful
completion of this program, students take the Illinois Nurse Aide
Competency Examination administered by Southern Illinois University
of Carbondale.
