The program is designed so that completers can sit for the Certified Nurse Aide examination. An application and drug screening are required. Upon completing the course, students have the option of applying for enrollment in Practical Nursing I during the senior year. This course is recommended for students interested in the following careers: LPN, RN, EMT, Physician’s Assistant, Occupational Therapist, Athletic Trainer, etc. SGSTC Guidance can assist with the application process for these programs.
