Nursing Assistant Program

At West Kentucky Community and Technical College, we prepare students to fill a critical role of the nursing assistant in the health care industry. The nursing assistant functions under the supervision of the licensed nurse (LPN or RN) and assists in caring for the hygiene, comfort, exercise and safety. Moving patients, observing and reporting client conditions, collecting specimens and giving emotional comfort are also part of being a nurse aide. The nursing assistant may be employed in a variety of settings.

WKCTC offers various program options:

• The Kentucky Medicaid Nurse Aide (MNA 100 or NAA 100)
  
  
• Advanced Nursing Assistant (NAA 115 or NAA 125)
  
  
• Medication Aide
  

Programs combine lecture and clinical laboratory to prepare the student to take the state competency test and earn placement on the Kentucky Nurse Aide Registry.
