This program prepares students to perform health care procedures and to participate in a clinical "hands-on" experience at a local health-care facility. Instruction includes patient physical care, nursing procedures, assistance with treatments, and activities of daily living. This program prepares the student to be tested for the Geriatric Nursing Assistant certificate. Each student completes approximately 100 hours of patient care.
To become a nursing assistant completer students must receive a credit in Work Place Skills, a course available at the home schools. Students are responsible for the cost of the testing and joining the registry. The State of Maryland's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene requires registration to be eligible for employment. This course includes both classroom and shop activity and requires homework. Participation in Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) is encouraged.
