Nurse aides also provide care in the home as well as the psychiatric ward or mental health facility, where they assist with care for patients who are mentally or emotionally disturbed. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of taking care of residents in the long-term care facility. Our program is designed to prepare you for the world of work. We strictly follow the curriculum developed by Texas Health and Human Services. Texas Health and Human Services require at least 100 hours of training, which is broken down into two areas. The first area is classroom instruction, which is 60 hours completed in a minimum of 3 weeks depending on the session that you are registered for. The second area is clinical hands-on experience in a long-term care facility. This consists of 1 week of training at a Nursing Home. Once all hours have met, you will be eligible to take the state exam. You will also be responsible for scheduling your exam with Prometric on the computer.
