The nursing assistant program at WVC provides the basics in care-giving skills for entry-level employment in healthcare. It includes instruction of personal care skills, roles and responsibilities of nursing assistants, communication skills, and safe and emergency procedures. It also includes CPR training for healthcare providers and seven hours of HIV/AIDS training as required by Washington State. Upon successful completion and evaluation by nursing faculty, students are eligible to take the certification examination for nursing assistants. This course, or its equivalent, is a prerequisite for the nursing program.
The nursing assistant course consists of classroom hours and hours of clinical instruction that will take place in the college lab and in one of the long-term care facilities that contract with Wenatchee Valley College for this purpose.
