Nursing Assistant

Program Overview

The Nursing Assistant program prepares individuals to perform routine nursing-related services to patients in hospitals or long-term care facilities under the training and supervision of a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse. The program includes instruction in infection control, communication and interpersonal skills, safety and emergency procedures, personal care skills, and basic nursing skills. Direct patient care training & instruction is facilitated in the classroom, lab, and clinical settings.

All nursing assistant applicants for certification must have legal presence in the United States, as defined in A.R.S. 32-1606 (B)(17), and will not be issued a nursing assistant certificate if they have one or more felony convictions and have not yet received an absolute discharge from the sentences for all felony convictions three or more years before the date of filing an application for certification.

Applicants will be fingerprinted to permit the Department of Public Safety to obtain State and Federal criminal history information. All applications with a positive history or investigation may be ineligible for certification.
