Our Nurse Aide Program is by far our most popular course being offered. The local job market for this area of nursing is currently second to none, all graduates of this program are finding many opportunities in the health care field. This is also a great way to accumulate your experience and patient contact hours for a RN or PA degree program that you may already be enrolled in, and earn an income while doing so. We have graduated many Health Career students with this purpose in mind.

Many potential students have asked us the question                                                " What makes our program better than the other programs in the area? "                   My number one answer to them is class size. We will never exceed twelve students per class. We feel this provides a much greater retention rate with our students, and produces a well trained caregiver. We are in this business to produce well trained caregivers for area employers, not just to graduate students.
