The goal of the Nurse Assistant Training is to help prepare students to sit for the Massachusetts State Certification Exam and to safely and effectively learn how to care for residents in long-term care as well as to obtain a certification as a Home Health Aide. Middlesex
Community College’s 100-hour certificate training program (including 24 clinical hours at a long-term care facility) will prepare students for an entry-level career in health care as a Nurse Assistant.
After successful completion, students will have the skills to work in a home health care environment. Students will learn how to care for residents in long-term care facilities and will practice the following skills: personal patient care, patient rights, lifting and turning patients, safety, infection control, vital signs, record keeping, mental health care of residents, and stress management. Students must be able to lift 50+ pounds. Seats are available on a space-available basis.
