Certified Nurse Aide Program

The Nurse Aide program prepares the student for employment as a Nurse Aide in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities. Students will learn basic nursing and personal care skills, HIPAA and compliance issues related to being a Nurse Aide, restorative services, and recognition of the rights of the patients and/or residents served. Students will practice these skills in the classroom and then in an assigned clinical setting. All students are eligible to apply. Enrollment is contingent upon the successful completion of a criminal background check, Colorado Adult Protective Services background check, drug screen, and all required documentation complete in their student file. The Nurse Aide courses fulfill the educational requirements for students to take the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP) certification exam. There are two parts to the NNAAP Examination, the Written (or Oral) Examination and the Skills Evaluation. It is not required that both are administered the same day. You must pass both parts in order to be certified and listed on the Colorado Nurse Aide Registry.

To be considered for this program students must be 18 or older and have a high school diploma.
