Blackhawk Technical College
Nursing Assistants, sometimes called Nurse Aides, Patient Care Assistants (PCA) or Patient Care Technicians (PCT), are in high demand to assist in the care of patients in extended care facilities, home care situations, and, with some additional training, in hospitals. Working under the direct supervision of a licensed nurse, their responsibilities may vary, but personal care and emotional support of patients are always primary considerations. This 120-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.

PLEASE NOTE:

If there are fewer than eight enrollments in the training program, only the "Enrollments" number will be displayed; all other data is hidden in order to help protect the students' identities. The "Employment Outcomes" are calculated using information from Wisconsin's Unemployment Insurance Wage database. Most employers are required to report certain employment information to the State of Wisconsin, including quarterly wage information for their employees. Students whose information could not be verified in this database are excluded from these outcomes. If a "0" shows for any of these outcomes, it means that none of the students' information could be verified.

MAKING SENSE OF THE EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES:

"Average quarterly wages" means the total wages earned in a three-month period by all students who completed the program ("completers"), divided by the total number of completers.

"Median quarterly wages" means all the completers' quarterly wages are placed in order from lowest to highest and then we identify the student's wages in the middle. This information is provided because averages can be greatly influenced by really high and low wage earners.

To estimate monthly wages, divide the quarterly wages by three.
