Nurse Aide

No, you do not have to be a Wake Tech student to take a Nurse Aide class.

You may register online for a class or you may come in to one of the Nurse Aide Offices to register in person. Please call 919-747-0120 before coming to the campus to ensure someone is available to help you.

You may have a blood test done to show proof of immunity.

There are no prerequisites, but you must be at least 16½ years old by the first day of class.

There is no book for the Nurse Aide I class.

There is no orientation session, but you do need to thoroughly read the Nurse Aide syllabus, which can be found on our website.

You may enroll in a Nurse Aide class up to the 10% point of the class, as long as there is seating available.

Yes, Wake Tech offers Nurse Aide classes during the Summer term.

We offer classes year round and have new classes starting almost every month at the Scott Northern Wake Campus, Perry Health Science Campus and Public Safety Education Campus. We offer day, evening, weekend and hybrid classes. Please look closely at every section, as schedules can be very different.

There is no financial aid, but financial assistance may be available through the Propel program. Email [email protected] for more information.

A confirmation email from your registration will be sent to your Wake Tech email. If you need assistance with your Wake Tech email, call the Help Desk at 919-866-7000.

You need to register and pay the $250 tuition, go to the CastleBranch website, choose package WM83 and pay $116 for your criminal background check, drug test and medical documentation manager. CastleBranch will tell you where to go to submit your urine sample before class begins.

The clinical paperwork is due prior to the clinical prep and orientation date. Submit copies of your Social Security card and other official signature-bearing ID to your instructor then upload the rest of your paperwork to CastleBranch as early as possible to allow time for review and acceptance.

Scrubs need to be worn only during clinical. Please dress modestly for class and lab.

Review the Class Withdrawal/Transfer Policy on the Nurse Aide I syllabus. Email [email protected] and include your name, your Wake Tech ID number, the section number of your class, your home mailing address and phone number and explain what you would like to do.

First, ask your instructor. If your instructor does not know the answer, email [email protected].

For assistance with Moodle, email [email protected] and put the word "Help" in the subject line.
