Randolph Community College Nursing Assistant I Course Begins May 27

Randolph Community College will offer a Nursing Assistant I course through its Corporate & Continuing Education division beginning Monday, May 27. The course has been scheduled to make it convenient for students who may be enrolling in nursing programs at four-year colleges and universities or at RCC but who need to complete the Nursing Assistant I requirement before admittance, said Amy Ange, Nursing Assistant department head.
           
The eight-week course prepares graduates to provide personal care and perform basic skills in a variety of health care settings. The course includes class, lab, and clinical components. Upon satisfactory completion, the graduate is eligible to test for listing as a Nursing Assistant I on the N.C. Nurse Aid Registry at the N.C. Division of Facility Services.
           
Both daytime (8:30 a.m.-2 p.m.) and afternoon/evening (2:30-9 p.m.) sections are available. Students are urged to contact RCC immediately for an application and to learn about admission requirements, such as a physical examination, which must be completed before the student begins the course.
           
The cost of the course is $216.25; limited scholarship money may be available.
