Nurse Aide Training

Our Nurse Aide Training course is offered during the evenings year around to accommodate working adults and students. Each course runs for six weeks and includes 80 hours of classroom instruction and 24 hours of clinical practice. Classes are held Monday through Thursday from 5PM to 9PM at our Grand Junction Office and at Family Health West in Fruita. The clinical practice is held during the day, for 3 days during the last week of the course, after all classroom instruction has been completed.

Additional evening and daytime courses are scheduled as needed. The basic course fee is $1,425 which includes a $55 background screening fee, books and Colorado Board of Nursing exam application. Scholarships are available for those that qualify. To register for our course, contact Linda Applegate at lapplegate@wcahec.org or (970) 434-5474 x2.
