Nurse Aide Courses
Start Your Healthcare Career as a Nurse Aide
Do you have a caring nature and a desire to make a difference in people’s lives? If you enjoy helping others, CFCC’s Nurse Aide program could be the perfect place to begin your journey in healthcare.
Nurse Aides (NAs) play a critical role in patient care. Working under the supervision of registered or licensed nurses, they provide hands-on support in various settings — including hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation centers, adult day health centers, doctors’ offices, and even private homes.
As a Nurse Aide, you’ll be on the front lines of patient care — assisting with daily activities, ensuring comfort and safety, and communicating essential information to the healthcare team.
