 Health Occupations PATIENT CARE TRACK Healthcare is an ever-growing field and patient care is the backbone of the healthcare industry. Therefore individuals with healthcare education are constantly in demand, from certified nurse aides who care for our ever-growing elderly population to registered nurses working in every hospital department in the world. The need for trained healthcare professionals is continuous and we at Neosho County Community College offer a wide range of educational courses under the Health Occupations Patient Care Track. The level of care goes hand in hand with the education you receive. At Neosho County Community College, we strive to meet all of your educational needs, whether you are only taking one class to gain employment or are enrolled in an entire program. Patients depend on healthcare workers, not only for proper medical attention but also to offer a kind word in a moment of sorrow, to give their newborn baby to them for the first time, to hold the hand of a scared child, and to be honest with them regarding their condition or the condition of a loved one, just to name a few. The Patient Care Track will include all of these aspects of “bedside manor” along with the clinical components of care giving. CERTIFIED NURSE AIDE The CERTIFIED NURSE AIDE, CNA, is a 90-hour course is designed for individuals seeking an entry-level position in the area of adult health care.
