Step 2

Complete a criminal background check

Applicants may submit for a background check through the state police ePATCH system directly for a record check and clearance. Completing and submitting the application is the first step in the process. Students that have lived in the state of Pennsylvania for less than 24 months continuously will need to take an FBI criminal background check.

Once you have ordered and paid for your background check, you will be asked to upload the confirmation page only into the application. You do not need to wait until you have results before you proceed with the application. You will be contacted by the nurse aide program upon approval/denial. You will then be given information regarding the next steps in the application process.

Step 3

Finish the registration process

After the program administrator has reviewed your online application, you will be notified of your status in the nurse aide program. Those accepted into the program will also receive instructions on your next steps, including some of the following:

● Review class schedules and select the class of your choice.

● Pay for your classes. All classes must be paid in full prior to class start dates.

● Attend orientation.

● Obtain a nurse aide textbook and other relevant materials before the beginning of class.
