Kentucky Medicaid Program Approved State Registered Nurse Aide Training Program - now open to the public!

In just a few weeks, you can earn a certificate as a Kentucky Medicaid Program Approved State Registered Nurse Aide. The course is now offered to the public, as well as to incoming undergraduate College of Nursing students. It's taught by our own faculty and meets the certification requirement for students admitted to the College.

First preference is given to students accepted to the College of Nursing program (as sophomores or as Second Degree B.S.N. students) for the upcoming semester. Any remaining openings are offered to the public.

Be sure to register early for your preferred class!  These classes fill up quickly! Due to the high demand for these classes, students who miss the first day of class risk losing their spot in the class to those on a waiting list.
