About the Program
In the Introduction to Nursing program at Burton, students explore opportunities in the healthcare field by developing basic skills common to medical careers. They study body structure and function, principles of health and disease, and an overview of the health and patient care system. Supervised work-based learning is part of the course in health care settings and is managed by a board-certified RN. Students will be given the opportunity to earn the Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) credential by the end of the school year.
