Nursing Assistant career-training program at EVIT Career and College Prep in Mesa, AZ | #WeAreEVIT

A nursing assistant works under the supervision of a nurse to provide daily basic care for patients in hospitals, physician’s offices, private homes, clinics and assisted living facilities.

In the first semester, you will learn CPR, anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, vital signs, hygiene, human reproduction, basic nutrition, and patient care.

During the second semester, students work in clinical settings to master the skills required for the state certification exam. Note: Students must provide their own transportation to clinical settings and internship sites. Flexible hours are required and depend on the availability of clinical sites. Weekend and/or extended days may be required. The student must also have proof of immunization or evidence of immunity to certain communicable illnesses, and have a current TB skin test. No criminal record. Students may be randomly drug tested.
