Cape Fear Valley Health recognized the achievements of its spring 2025 Nursing Assistant I (NA I) and Nursing Assistant II (NA II) program graduates during a special ceremony held Wednesday, April 30 at the Cape Fear Valley Center for Medical Education and Neuroscience Institute.

A total of 21 graduates received their certificates, including four from the NA I program and 17 from the NA II program, each completing a 15-week curriculum focused on building clinical expertise and advancing healthcare careers.

Offered at no cost to Cape Fear Valley employees, the Nursing Assistant programs reflect the system’s strong commitment to workforce development and delivering excellence in patient care. As some of the region’s most competitive training opportunities, they prepare participants to thrive in today’s demanding healthcare environment.

Cape Fear Valley Medical Center is one of just two hospital-based sites in North Carolina approved to offer a certified NA I program, a testament to its leadership in clinical education. Graduates leave the program with enhanced clinical skills, greater earning potential, and a clear pathway toward a nursing degree.

Since the start of the program, 172 NA II’s and 46 NA I’s students have graduated.

“We are incredibly proud of these graduates,” Ruhama Bond, Education Coordinator at Cape Fear Valley Health System, said. “Whether they choose to continue their journey toward becoming a nurse or apply their enhanced skills in their current roles, their dedication and passion for patient care are truly inspiring.”

While many participants are current nursing assistants seeking to advance, the programs also welcome employees from diverse roles across the health system, each united by a commitment to professional growth and service.
