SUPPLIES:
The total cost of our programs includes the textbook, required supplies and a loaner training smock. We do recommend that each student have a black or white pair of slacks and comfortable shoes for clinical training. Although not required, it is also highly recommended that each student obtain their own basic blood pressure monitoring kit (can be purchased through program).
APPLICATION PROCESS:
ATTENDANCE:
Attendance is critical throughout a course not only because it contributes to a student's final score, but also because different skills are taught in each class that need to be learned to pass the State Boards. No more than 1 class can be missed in total and no absences are permitted during Day 1 or during clinical training...NO EXCEPTIONS!
SCORING:
To PASS, a student MUST meet 5 minimum standards: 1) Attendance at a minimum of 80 hours of technical instruction; 2) demonstrated competency/proficiency in specific skills and concepts; 3) overall minimum cumulative score of 860 out of 1000 possible points by the end of the course; 4) minimum score of 215 out of 250 on final written exam; 5) minimum score of 215 out of 250 on final skills demonstration exam, and; 6) Payment in full of the total enrollment cost (balance due in-full).
PROGRAM COST:
The total cost of the program depends on the payment option selected. In short, advance payment of the total cost achieves the lowest price. Please Note that we accept cash or checks only. Credit cards are not accepted.
BASIC COURSE INFO
CLINICALS:
Clinicals involve a minimum of 21 hours of "hands-on" training with actual patients/residents in a long term care facility. They occur at the end of the course and attendance is mandatory. A strict instructor to student ration of 1:10 or better is always maintained. Please note that the starting and ending times for clinicals differs from the classroom/skills lab training and may vary with any individual course.
