The Nurse Assistant Certificate of Completion consists of one course, NA 101. By completing this 6-credit hour course the student will learn basic nursing skills through lectures, simulation skills lab, and supervised clinical experience and be prepared to become a nursing assistant. Upon completion of this program, candidates will be eligible to take the State of Illinois Nurse Aide Competency Exam (INACE). Upon successfully passing the state exam, the candidate’s name will be added to the Healthcare Worker Registry and the candidate may be employed as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in long term health care facilities, hospitals, and other home care agencies. This certificate can be applied toward the JJC Nursing Program to substitute for one nurse course.
