Course Detail: NATH - Nurse Assistant Theory Only (Online)

This course is ideal for organizations currently without a formal nurse assistant training program, and/or who are in a rural community and do not have the resources or availability to send candidates for employment to training in another community.

Students will complete 43 hours of nurse assistant theory coursework during this 4-week online course.  Assignments are posted each week and are typically due on Sundays.  Assignments are completed as students have time during the week.  There are no designated times students need to log on to meet with the instructor.  An instructor guides students through the course, provides feedback, and encourages student learning.

Labs and clinicals at a long-term care facility are not included in this course.  Students who complete this course will not be allowed to join labs and clinicals scheduled for other TrainND Nurse Assistant Training Programs.  If a student wishes to complete labs and clinicals, he/she must register for and complete in full a Nurse Assistant Training Program.  Students are encouraged to complete skills training with an employer or alternate method prior to taking the state exam when utilizing this course, as students are not required to demonstrate skills within this 4-week training.

Books are included in the course fee and will be mailed within a week prior to the training start date.

State nurse assistant certification testing is not included in this course. Students wishing to take the state certification exam will need to contact the test site directly to schedule an exam.
