Congratulations Nurse Aide Graduates!

Red Lion Students attending HACC Academy, recently graduated from the Nurse Aide Program.  The Nurse Aide program provides the opportunity to acquire classroom and on-the-job training as a nurse aide. The Nurse Aide program includes a blending of classroom instruction at HACC and clinical experience. Upon successful completion of the program, the student is eligible to take the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP) Competency Exam and be enrolled on the Pennsylvania Nurse Aide Registry, which is required to work as a nurse aide in the long-term care industry.
During the training, students learned numerous skills, including: taking and recording the patient’s blood pressure, temperature, pulse rate, and respirations; assisting with the activities of daily living, including bathing and hygiene, using the toilet, and exercise; applying safe and correct techniques to assist patients with moving, walking, and positioning; recording vital information on appropriate medical forms and bedside charts, and responding properly to emergencies.

Students attend Red Lion for their core courses in the morning and attend HACC Academy in the afternoon.
