I have burned my little fingers to the bone searching for information on how to get certified as NA II (NC) and I haven't found squat :madface:

I now bow to the infinite wisdom of my Allnurses brothers and sisters..... :bow:

Any suggestions?

If there is a program for NA at your local CC they may be of assistance or the nursing department of the pass you are employed.

Best of Luck???

Nope, nope, and nope.

All CC have is NAI, there in only information on what is required to be taught for NAII certification on NC BON site, and DFS doesn't even touch it.....

Nurse Aide II Program Guidellines

NA II programs are offered throughout the state at local community colleges. Check with the community college in your area (under "Continuing Education") about the nearest available program.

A simple Google search brought up many community colleges offering NA II courses. Here is an excerpt from Gaston Community College's NA II webpage:

Here is another one from Pitt Community College:

You're brighter than me :rolleyes:

My google searches only turn up GC and their program is not an option. I do appreciate the other links.....

The only reason I am looking into it is because a lot of the positions listed at the local hospitals seem to require NAII. I can't decide if it is really necessary. I don't know anyone with NAII cert.

Most nursing programs will certify you as NA II after successful completion of second semester... so ask your nursing faculty! :)

They told us about NAI cert after the first semester.... I will definitely ask them about NAII after second semester.

Thanks!
