The eight-week Nurse Aide I (NAI) course taught at SCC provides the student/graduate with the essential knowledge and skills necessary to provide basic nursing care under the direction of a licensed nurse. Throughout the course, the Nurse Aide I students are taught basic nursing principles, like infection control, safety, nutrition, and anatomy and physiology. The students also develop proficiency in performing skills, like vital signs, personal care, mobility, and elimination. In addition to these skills, the Nurse Aide I course teaches the students about work ethics and professionalism in the workplace.
The state approved eight-week course includes class, laboratory, and clinical learning experiences. Upon satisfactory completion of the course and skill/competency evaluation, the graduate of the course is eligible to apply for listing as a Nurse Aide I by the NC Division of Health Service Regulation. Once the graduate earns the Nurse Aide I certification, the NAI may work in different areas of employment, including long-term care facilities, hospitals, and home health care.
Earning the NAI certification and having a current listing on the NC Nurse Aide I Registry is a prerequisite for the SCC Practical Nursing Program and Associate Degree Nursing Program. This course provides the PN and ADN students with the knowledge of basic nursing skills in order to better prepare them for their future nursing careers.
