Nurse Aide and Phlebotomy Info Sessions

September 20, 2017

Information sessions for Wayne Community College’s nurse aide and phlebotomy programs will be held this month.

Anyone interested in enrolling in a Nurse Aide I, Nurse Aide II, or Phlebotomy Technician course in the spring 2018 session must attend an information session about the registration process for that program. The sessions are free and do not require pre-registration.

The Nurse Aide sessions are scheduled for 12-1 p.m. on Oct. 9, Oct. 16, and Oct. 23; and 5:30-6:30 p.m. on Oct. 11, Oct. 18, and Oct. 25. They will be held in Room 161 of the Wayne Learning Center (main building) on the college’s main campus in Goldsboro.

The sessions for Phlebotomy are set for 12-1 p.m. on Oct. 30 and 5:30-6:30 p.m. on Nov. 1, also in Room 161 of the Wayne Learning Center.

Attendees must stay for the entire session in order to obtain registration paperwork. Registration will be held on Nov. 7 for the Nurse Aide program and Nov. 8 for the Phlebotomy program.

Courses are offered at a variety of times during the day and in both traditional and hybrid (partially online) instructional methods. The spring semester starts in early January and runs to early May. Specific schedules for each course will be announced at the information session.

Nurse Aide I introduces basic nursing assistant skills required to provide personal care for patients, residents, or clients in a health care setting. It prepares students for the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program examination necessary for certification and listing on the North Carolina Nurse Aide I Registry.

Nurse Aide II equips students to perform more complex skills for patients or residents. Graduates are eligible to apply for listing as a Nursing Aide II by the N.C. Board of Nursing.

The Phlebotomy Technician course trains students to draw blood specimens from patients. It is designed to prepare them to take the American Society for Clinical Pathology’s National Phlebotomy Certification Examination.
