On Tuesday, October 10, Southern Regional Technical College (SRTC) recognized twelve graduating Nurse Aide Accelerated students at a pinning ceremony at SRTC-Thomasville honoring their achievements. The program honored students from the SRTC-Thomasville cohort:
Christina Allen of Meigs, Allison Coppins of Albany, Isabella Henson of Tifton, Tella Jenkins and Jeanice Wallace of Camilla, Keziah Howell, Erykah Jones, and Brenda Smith of Thomasville, and Bethany Doss, Ashley Jackson, TaMya Sanders, and Sharneshia Nixon of Pelham
The Nurse Aide Accelerated Technical Certificate of Credit Program is approved by the Georgia Medical Care Foundation. During their five-week accelerated program, the students completed the classroom training, laboratory practice, and clinical rotations required to earn their Nurse Aide certification. These graduates are now eligible to sit for the National Nurse Aide Assessment program which determines competency to become enrolled in the Georgia State Nurse Aide registry.
“These graduates walked in as students and are leaving as healthcare professionals to aid in the rapidly expanding job market,” said Nurse Aide Accelerated instructor Karen Kelso, RN, MSN. “We are extremely proud of each of them.”
