About the Program

This is a 2-week Nursing Assistant course.  Hours are from 7:30am-4:30pm Monday thru Friday.  It follows the state required guidelines for 102 hours of instruction.  Instruction is with a qualified Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).  The first week consists of classroom instruction, where students will learn theory and practice hands on skills on a manikin (location is Tolland, CT).  The second week the students will enter a participating nursing or rehabilitation facility for the clinical aspect (hands on) of the program (Location is Mansfield, Stafford Springs, or Enfield).  This is where the students will learn to work and communicate with residents in a healthcare setting.  The clinical site will provide an environment necessary to give the students the true feeling and importance of the role of a Nursing Assistant.  While participating at the clinical site with their instructor the students observe and perform the duties of a nursing assistant; Bathing, dressing, feeding, ambulating, and transferring are some of the examples.  In all, with the ever-growing demand and need for services and care, in our nation, it is the primary objective of this school to prepare these students which ultimately enables them to enter the healthcare field.  The tuition cost for the program is $1075. We do require a $300.00 deposit at the time of registration, the $300 will be counted towards the total tuition. The students will also be responsible for purchasing our books, uniform and BLS CPR class.  As a Healthcare worker, students will need to be BLS Certified in order to do clinicals. This is offered to them for a separate cost. The certification is good for 2 years and is offered through the American Heart and Lung Association.  The cost of uniform, CPR, and books is $350.00, CASH ONLY, we use different vendors for these services.
