A Certificate in Nursing Care Assistant course is a program that prepares individuals to provide basic care to patients in healthcare settings under the supervision of a registered nurse or a licensed practical nurse. The course typically takes 6 to 12 months to complete and includes both theoretical and practical components.

During the course, students learn about patient care, infection control, medication administration, vital signs monitoring, and communication skills. They also learn about the different types of nursing care, such as personal care, nursing care, and therapy services.

The practical component of the course includes hands-on training in providing personal care, administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and assisting patients with mobility and daily activities. Students also learn how to communicate effectively with patients and their families and how to manage and maintain patient records.

Upon completion of the course, graduates can work as nursing care assistants in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other healthcare settings. They may also choose to further their education by pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in nursing or another related field.
