About
Begin your health care career by registering for the Pennsylvania Department of Education's approved Nurse Aide Training Program at Community College of Philadelphia. A nurse aide helps provide basic care in nursing home, assisted living facility, hospice and long-term care settings. Working under nurse supervision, a nurse aide enjoys extensive daily contact with each patient and is instrumental in updating the nurse on vital information about patient conditions. While this program focuses on long-term care facilities, nurse aides can be employed in other health care settings as well.
