MCTC's Nursing Assistant/Home Health Aide course will prepare you to perform routine healthcare tasks for individuals of various ages and health conditions.
The course will cover physical, emotional, social and spiritual human needs; health and illness; death and dying; and resident, patient and client rights. You also will learn behavior management, infection control, and the importance of being a responsible and dependable member of the healthcare team.
You will receive training in basic nursing skills (bathing, dressing, grooming, exercising, toileting) and learn how to check and monitor vital signs -- blood pressure, temperature, pulse and respiration. You will have the opportunity to apply your skills during laboratory exercises and clinical experience in a long-term care facility.
Since it is vital to maintain high healthcare standards in all health-related facilities, you will need to pass a background check requirement and meet specific health requirements and provide proof of immunity as you progress through the curriculum.
Attendance is required on the first day of class as well as the first six units. You must complete all mandatory classes before you may attend the clinical component.
Refer to the 2009-10 College Catalog for the requirements to degrees, diplomas and/or certificates available through the Nursing Assistant/Home Health Aide program.
