Nursing Certificates (NURC)

NURC 1101 Nurse Aide Train Program (A, SP, SU) 3 credits

The Nurse Aide Training Program is designed to instruct the student in the knowledge and skills needed to provide basic care for clients in the long-term care setting. The student who completes this course is eligible to state test. However, the online hybrid NURC 1101 does NOT meet the requirements for the state approved nurse aide class in Ohio. The student who completes the hybrid version of this class will NOT receive a "certificate of class completion" and will not be eligible to take the state test for nurse aides. Both the traditional and hybrid versions satisfy the NURC 1101 prerequisite for specific health technologies at the college. Because this is a skills-based course, classroom, clinical and laboratory attendance is mandatory. The completion of the health record is required for the student to enroll in this course.
