Job security and having a flexible schedule as a nursing assistant are two benefits of taking classes at IIHCP. As a Nurse Assistant (NA), you may give direct patient care in long-term care facilities, hospitals, clinics and in the home. With your newly acquired NA skills, you can diversify into other areas of medicine, such as labor and delivery, pediatrics and geriatrics.

Upon graduation from IIHCP, you can build a rewarding and secure future for yourself as a Nursing Assistant.

To become a Certified Nursing Assistant you must take the State Board Licensure exam. In-services are to be renewed every year.

At the IIHCP the student will receive a certification for Nursing Assistant upon completion of the course.
