Program Overview

Phase One: Pre-Clinical

The first phase of the program, the pre-clinical phase, is made up of classroom lecture, discussion, videos, and projects, seven hours of HIV/AIDS education and certification, CPR/First Aid education and certification. Successful completion of all student work, as well as written and practical exams, will allow a student to move into the clinical experience phase of their training.

Phase Two: Skills Labs

The second section of the program, skills lab, prepares students in a simulated lab environment. There will be a minimum of 24 hours of clinical lab skill practice before taking the skills exam, which simulates the NNAAP examination.

Phase Three: Clinical Experience

The clinical experience phase of the program consists of 40 hours of clinical experience at a healthcare facility working with patients or residents.  During this phase of the program, students will be required to meet a list of clinical objectives for course completion.  Students will be supervised by a Columbia Safety Training Center State approved Licensed Nurse while at the clinical facility.
