Hybrid Nurse Aide I Evening Course

This Hybrid Nurse Aide Program in Matthews, NC is designed to provide aspiring nurse aides with a flexible, high-quality education that combines online coursework with hands-on clinical training. This innovative program integrates virtual learning with in-person skill development, ensuring that students gain the necessary knowledge and competencies to provide safe and effective patient care.

 

All courses begin at 5:00 PM, making our evening schedule ideal for working individuals who are looking to advance their careers without disrupting their daytime responsibilities. This unique offering supports adult learners, parents, and professionals who need a program that fits into a busy lifestyle.

 

We are also proud to offer a special December session tailored for college students home on winter break. This accelerated format provides a productive opportunity for students to earn their Nurse Aide I certification during their academic downtime.

 

Our hybrid course structure is designed for maximum flexibility and student success:

  • Weeks 1 & 2: Online coursework — includes interactive modules, discussion boards, and group projects to build a solid foundation in topics like infection control, patient safety, and communication skills.

  • Week 3: In-person skills lab — students apply their knowledge in a supervised setting, practicing essential nurse aide tasks with experienced instructors.

  • Week 4: Clinical rotation in a licensed nursing facility, where students gain real-world experience delivering care to patients under supervision.

 

This hybrid approach not only enhances accessibility for students with varying schedules but also aligns with modern educational trends, leveraging technology to support a comprehensive learning experience. Upon successful completion of the program, students will be eligible to take the North Carolina Nurse Aide I Competency Exam, paving the way for rewarding career opportunities in healthcare settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, and home care agencies.
