Medical Assistant (Diploma Program)
As a Medical Assistant, you will be an integral part of the healthcare delivery team. In this position, you are considered a "multi-tasked" provider. This means you will be trained and qualified in both clinical and administrative capacities. Medical Assistants work closely with doctors in clinics and physician's offices. You will be entrusted with a variety of critical responsibilities.

This program leads to an Associate in Science degree and prepares students to take the National Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX.RN). Graduates, who pass the NCLEX.RN, can enter the healthcare workforce as confident, competent professional nurses. The RN is highly skilled and educated. The RN is prepared to function in the roles of provider of care, manager of care, and contributing member of a healthcare team. While at the bedside, the RN is accountable for decisions that impact the healthcare outcomes for the patient. The scope of a RN's practice is defined in individual state statutes.

Practical Nursing (Diploma Program)
Upon completion of the program and passing the licensing examination, the vocational nurse can enter the workforce as a competent, skilled nurse. Vocational nurses provide patient-side nursing care at the direction of physicians and/or registered nurses. The practice of vocational nursing is based on concepts from the physical, biological and behavioral sciences.

The scrub surgical technologist (STSR) handles instruments, supplies, and equipment necessary during the surgical procedure. They also maintain sterile environment and anticipate the needs of the surgeon. The second circulating surgical technologist (STCR) assists the RN in obtaining additional instruments, supplies, and equipment while the surgical procedure is in progress. The STCR also assists in monitoring operating room conditions and assesses the needs of the patient and surgical team. The second assisting surgical technologist (STSA) assists the surgeon and/or first assistant during the operative procedure by carrying out technical tasks other than cutting, clamping, and suturing of tissue. Distinct from first assistant and may be performed at the same time as the scrub role.
