The Nursing Assistant course is a state approved course.  Upon successful completion of the course students receive a certificate of completion and may take the State Licensing Examination.  Students must attend all classes and clinical shifts in order to receive a certificate of completion.

The student uniform required for campus labs and clinicals is a navy blue unisex scrub top and white scrub pants, appropriate white nurse shoes, a name pin, and a watch with a second hand. Students must provide proof of a current CPR before attending clinicals.

Two sections of Nursing 100 are offered during the fall, winter, and spring quarter.  Classes are held on Wednesdays 12:30PM- 3:30PM(day class), or 5:00PM-8:00PM (evening class).  Campus labs are Saturdays by arrangement.  Clinicals are scheduled approximately during the third to the seventh week of the quarter.  Clinicals are held at Careage of Whidbey, a long-term care facility in Coupeville.  Clinicals and campus labs are arranged on the first day/evening of class.  Clinical times and dates vary with alternating days and evening shifts.

WASHINGTON STATE NURSING CARE

QUALITY ASSURANCE COMMISSION

According to Washington State Law, RCW 43.830 and RCW 43.43.840, any student nurse with a positive criminal history for "crimes against persons" is not allowed to work in a nursing home.  Background checks of criminal history are also required by local area hospitals.   Because clinical experience in both acute care facilities and nursing homes is an integral part of the nursing curriculum, students with a positive history of "crimes against persons" will not be able to enroll in the Practical Nursing Program, Nursing 100, or the LPN to RN Program.  All nursing students must pass a criminal background check and drug screening before being accepted to the nursing program.

If a clinical facility determines that a student nurse may not do clinicals in the facility, the student will not be able to continue in the nursing program.
