Great careers are often built step by step, and that's the idea behind our Hybrid Nurse Aide/Medication Aide Bundle. You begin with Nurse Aide training , building the core patient care skills every healthcare role depends on, then move directly into Medication Aide training , carrying that momentum into a second certification within the same connected, 10-week hybrid program. Both roles are in high demand across hospitals, senior living communities, and home care settings, so building this kind of dual skill set puts you in a strong position from the moment you're certified. Employers are looking for well-rounded, trained team members, and this bundle helps you become exactly that. Registering for the bundle also comes with a built-in advantage: you save $100 compared to enrolling in each program separately. Taken on their own, Nurse Aide training runs $1,582 and Medication Aide training runs $600, for a total of $2,182. As a bundle, tuition comes to $2,082, with that $100 in savings applied as soon as you register. Getting started begins with a $600 deposit, which also covers your lab fee. By the time you finish, you'll have two certifications, a broader set of skills, and a stronger foundation for your healthcare career. Ready to begin?
