NCC Holds Nurse Aide Graduation

On Tuesday, December 17, 2019, Nash Community College held a recognition ceremony honoring students completing Nurse Aide I and Nurse Aide II training. The event was held at 6:00 PM in Brown Auditorium.

Nurse Aide I students, upon graduation, are equipped with basic nursing skills to provide care for patients, residents, and clients in a health care setting. Communication, safety, patients’ rights, vitals, rehabilitation, mental health and more are among the techniques taught. Graduates of the Nurse Aide I program are eligible for the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP).

Students graduating from the College’s Nurse Aide II program are prepared to perform more complex skills for patients and residents regardless of setting. The program includes class, laboratory and clinical learning environments and with its completion graduates are eligible to apply for listing as a Nurse Aide II by the North Carolina Board of Nursing Nurse Aide II Registry.
