Students Graduate from NETC’s NA Program

Fourteen students recently graduated from Northeastern Technical College’s Nursing Assistant (NA) Program.  The program consists of 70 hours of classroom instruction and 40 hours of supervised clinical training and is offered by the college’s division of continuing education. 

Upon completion of the course, graduates acquire the academic and practical skills necessary to successfully complete the Nursing Assistant Certification Exam.  This exam is required by the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control for employment as nurse aides and certified nursing assistants (CNA).
