Nurse Assistant Clinical

All Nations University offers a certificate in Nurse Assistant Clinical through its School of Allied Health Sciences. The programme trains practical skills for patient care in hospitals, clinics, and communities. Read on to understand what the field involves and what to expect from admission competition.

What a Nurse Assistant Clinical does

A nurse assistant clinical works under registered nurses to help with basic patient care. This includes taking vital signs, bathing and dressing patients, helping them move, feeding, and documenting observations. In Ghana, these professionals are often found in general wards, maternity units, and outpatient departments, and they also support home-based care for the elderly and chronically ill. The job demands patience, empathy, and close attention to detail.

Skills you will build

Certificate programmes of this kind typically mix classroom theory with practical bedside training. You will learn infection control, basic first aid, patient communication, measuring blood pressure and temperature, and how to assist with common procedures. Most courses also cover ethics in care, so you graduate knowing how to treat patients with dignity while working as part of a medical team.

How competitive is the entry process?

All Nations University has not published its own competition levels for this programme. For comparison, public nursing training colleges that run the same certificate are less competitive, meaning entry is generally accessible for typical SHS leavers. Since All Nations has not published its own competition level, you should contact the admissions office to confirm your eligibility.
