FORT ATKINSON - Alizae Swenson of Monroe has completed nursing assistant training at Madison Area Technical College's Fort Atkinson campus.
MATC's nursing assistant class is a three-credit, 120-hour class that is offered each fall, summer and spring semester. The NA class prepares students for employment as nursing assistants and is a pre-requisite for many health care careers. Students learn basic nursing and personal care skills, client rights, care of clients with dementia, and communication skills. They also complete a supervised clinical experience with direct client care.
The NA class is recognized by the Department of Health Services as a nurse aide training program. Upon successful completion of the program, students are eligible for certification testing (written and skills) for the Wisconsin Nurse Aide Registry. Certification is required for employment in nursing homes, hospitals, home health agencies, hospices and homes for the developmentally disabled.
Students completed the basic nursing assistant course under the direction of instructors Ellen Haines, Carol Brueggeman, Cathy Krahn Horton and Marie Dusio.
