Registered nursing assistants (NARs) are critical to the success of our care team. Nursing assistants can use this hands-on experience to prepare themselves for future jobs in healthcare. After passing the exam, NARs may work in any skilled nursing facility.

NARs care for patients and assist registered nurses in day-to-day activities, including:

• Residents' daily tasks
• Bathing, grooming and feeding residents
• Medical checkups and procedures
• Administrative duties

We are now offering a hybrid curriculum of NAR training through OnTrack powered by Educare. The registration fee is $850 and includes course materials, finger-printing/background check, and Mantoux testing. This fee does not cover the cost of the MN State written or skills exams, however reimbursement of exams and course are available with employment in a Skilled Nursing Facility.
