NHC Pulaski offers a free, fast-paced state certified nurse aide training program that lasts two weeks and is unpaid. Employment opportunities may be available after successful completion of the course; employment is not guaranteed. Students are selected based on facility needs, shift availability, entrance exam score, flexibility, previous work history, and attitude. Applicants must bring a completed application, valid photo identification, and Social Security card to their interview. Because the class lasts only two weeks, no absences or tardiness are permitted. Students must pass each test with a score of at least 80% to continue. A $40 deposit for books and supplies is due on the first day and will be returned upon graduation. Students must purchase one set of scrubs to wear to class and clinical. The program conducts a criminal background check and consults the Tennessee and/or National Abuse Registry for Children and Adults. Applicants with a felony conviction, certain misdemeanor charges, or a listing on the abuse registry cannot be admitted. Accepted students will receive a phone call on or before the Friday before class at 10:00 AM.
