This 24 hour, NC Board of Nursing (NCBON) approved Medication Aide class is designed to prepare non-licensed personnel with the skills required by the NCBON to practice as a Medication Aide in long-term care/skilled nursing facilities within the state of North Carolina only. This course involves class and lab practice.

The course content covers the six rights of medication administration, accuracy, infection control, patient's rights and scope of practice. Upon successful completion, students are eligible to take the N.C. State Board Medication Aide Exam for skilled nursing homes (which is an additional cost and done on your own through Credentia).

This is a 24-hour class and students MUST attend all 24 hours of the class to receive completion credit. This is not the same as the Med Aide for Assisted Living Centers and Rest Homes.  See the 15 Hour course for more information on that course.
