*** Prior to acceptance into the Nurse Aide Training Program, the applicant must pass a background screening successfully before entering the program. It is not Federally required that a student must pass a background check in order to study in a Nurse’s Aide Program, however, it is a Federal requirement that anyone who wishes to work in a long-term care facility be screened via a background check. Students enrolling in this program must be aware that their successful completion of this course does not permit them to take the CNA exam nor does it permit them to work in a long-term care facility. Queen City Healthcare Academy cannot be held responsible for a student’s inability to obtain employment as it is up to the students to know their criminal history.

If you have worked as Nurse Aide in a prior state and have any allegations that have been reported to the nurse aide registry that are pending, please know this information may also prohibit you from working in a long-term care facility in the state of North Carolina as well. Any adverse information on criminal background checks can hinder an individual from obtaining employment.

The Institution is not responsible for students who apply, receive notice of class availability, but fail to pay the non-refundable registration fee and/or initial deposit in a timely manner with regards to receipt of class availability notice. The Institution reserves the right to accept students with completed registrations on a first-come, first-served basis.

Students who apply, receive notice of availability, and pay the non-refundable registration fee and/or deposit after a course has closed its registration due to a lapse of time, will be offered the next available class.

Queen City Healthcare Academy reserves the right to evaluate special cases and to refuse admission to an applicant when it is in the best interest of the individual and/or the program.
