The Nurse Aide Education Course began in January 2005 in response to the need for aides in the long-term care setting.
Nurse Aides work under the supervision of nurses and provide hands-on care to clients such as providing for activities of daily living, assisting with feeding and ambulating and performing various procedures. It is an essential role that functions to meet the needs of the elderly, chronically ill and/or home-bound clients.
