VGCC Offers Nurse Aide II Class At Its Franklin County Campus

Certified nursing assistants who want to upgrade their credentials and employability should be interested in taking the Nurse Aide II class beginning May 19 at Vance-Granville Community College’s Franklin County Campus.

The class will meet on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 5 to 9:30 p.m. until Aug. 19 at the campus on N.C. 56 west of Louisburg.

Applicants must have a high school diploma or GED and must be listed by the state as a Nurse Aide I in good standing. Students in the class will learn advanced skills, such as tube feeding and insertion of catheters, and nursing homes and hospitals really like to hire graduates of this training, said Julie Cooke, coordinator of nursing assistant training at VGCC.

Cost of the course is $80 plus the cost of the textbook. For more information and to register, call Cooke or Jennifer Allen at (252) 492-2061.
