The OTECH Nursing Assistant program prepares students with the skills needed to obtain vital signs and assist patients with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, eating and toileting while focusing on safety, infection control and professionalism. Successful completion of the Nursing Assistant program qualifies the student to sit for the state certification exam.
