VGCC Honors 25 New Graduates of Nurse Aide I Program

Vance-Granville Community College recently held a pinning and graduation ceremony for graduates from the college’s Nurse Aide I, or CNA I, program. This occasion was a combined celebration for the students who completed their course work at the college’s Main Campus in Vance County and those who took classes at Kittrell Job Corps Center.

These students are now eligible to take the North Carolina state competency exam to receive their certification, which will allow them to work in area health care facilities as Certified Nursing Assistants.
