Program Description
The Nurse Aide (NUA) program teaches students the basic skills and methods needed to help hospital clients.
Students will also learn skills to help long-term care residents, and home health care clients with their daily living activities.
The NUA program has a selective admissions process. The program application and requirements are available in the Nursing Department front office or at Pueblo Community College NUA at any time. All Nursing and Health & Public Safety programs have essential functions to help you be successful in the program and career.
Note: You must undergo a background check and drug screen before we can officially admit you into the program. A felony, loss of license, administrative disciplinary proceeding for negligence, malpractice, recklessness, or willful or intentional misconduct may prohibit entrance into the program and/or eligibility to sit for licensure exams.
