The Nurse Aide in Long-Term Care Facilities Course is a New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services approved training course, which consists of 90 hours of training (50 hours of classroom instruction and 40 hours of clinical instruction in a New Jersey licensed long-term care facility). 

This is offered based on the belief that all residents in long-term care facilities are entitled to receive an optimum level of health and personal care services. It is predicated on that belief and further embodies the concept of Human Caring. Human Caring is viewed as respect for the dignity, worth and uniqueness of the resident, other staff and self and facilitates the protection, maintenance and restoration of the resident. 

Excellence in the basic care given to each resident requires skill, information, commitment, compassion, respect and consideration. The concept of Human Caring encompasses the roles of the learner, caregiver, and humanitarian.
