Meet the Instructor

This course teaches students basic skills in the area of personal needs and develops the specialized skills required for patient comfort.

After learning applied theory in the classroom, students practice nursing skills in the clinical laboratory in actual role-playing situations. Students then transfer their knowledge to the work environment, where they spend six weeks (100 clinical hours) gaining valuable experience.

Once students complete the class, they are eligible to take the written and performance test offered by NYSDOH to become a Certified Nurse Assistant.
