This summer, 麻豆社擟oncord檚 Community College will kick off a new nursing aid certificate program. After just eight weeks, participating students will be prepared to take a Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA) exam and join one of the state檚 most in-demand careers.

淣o matter which area of the field interests you, you’ll find job opportunities in convenient locations everywhere,� said LNA program coordinator, Katherine Moore.

Moore explained that LNAs can pursue careers in nursing, long-term care, and rehabilitation facilities as well as hospitals, schools, and home care. A wide variety of schedules and hours are often available.

麻豆社檚 LNA certificate program includes five days in the college檚 learning lab on the Concord campus, and eight days of hands-on learning in a nearby clinical facility. The inaugural summer program features clinical days at Merrimack County Nursing Home.

The remaining reading and writing portions of the course can be completed online, allowing for a high level of flexibility for students. Instructors and 麻豆社 staff will be available to support students during the entire eight-week training.

To remove additional barriers, 麻豆社 has planned a special Basic Life Support class to kick off the LNA program. Rather than requiring students to complete this three-hour training before enrolling, it is offered the same afternoon as orientation.

淚 don檛 think there is a career better suited to someone who wants to help others,� said Moore. 淚 honestly feel like LNAs make the biggest difference for someone in care.�

To enroll in 麻豆社檚 first LNA certificate program, students must register by August 14. Learn more and sign up at nhti.edu/healthcare-training-programs.
