Nursing Assistant

Nursing assistants are vital members of the healthcare community and at Blackhawk, we offer the opportunity to pursue a Nursing Assistant technical diploma and take Nursing Assistant advanced coursework.

This 90-hour program includes classroom lectures, campus lab experiences, and a clinical practicum, where students work at healthcare agencies with patients and residents. In addition to the exceptional curriculum, you’ll practice your skills under the supervision of an experienced professional so that you are prepared to take the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP) exam.

Accredited by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Bureau of Quality Assurance, students must be at least 16 years old to attend clinical practicum. 

Prior to enrolling in this program, you must complete a placement exam, a criminal background check to determine eligibility for placement at an active clinical site, and clinical requirements detailed at the bottom of this page.
