Medication Aide Certificate of Completion

The Medication Aide course (ALHN 193) runs over a period of five (5) weeks. See schedules below. The course consists of 120 hours of lecture, lab and clinical education and will prepare students to seek higher wages and/or improve on skills needed in the nursing field. It is a five college credit hour course. A qualified registered nurse will be teaching the course. Class size will be small to ensure safe and personal instruction. Certification state testing, after completion of the program, will be held at a LCCC site.

Qualified students would include: a current Ohio State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) or an aide who has worked for one full year, full time, providing resident care in an Assisted Living Facility in Ohio.
