Nursing Assistant Trainee - Part Time
About The Position
The Nursing Assistant Trainee participates in a formal learning program to develop the confidence and competence needed to provide personal care to clients. Under the supervision of a licensed nurse and in partnership with a preceptor, the trainee provides holistic, client-centered care that promotes independence and client rights in a safe, caring, and efficient manner. Trainees must work within the role of a non-certified nursing assistant and may perform services only after they have been trained and found proficient by the instructor. The hybrid training program includes online learning and hands-on skills development. Trainees must complete all program requirements within the designated timeframe. On completion, they will be prepared to take state knowledge and skills examinations for CNA or other state certification. During training, the trainee is a member of the nursing team and follows location-specific standards for infection prevention and control, personal protective equipment, safety, and privacy. The trainee works with clients and families to meet physical, cognitive, spiritual, emotional, and social needs. The role includes providing age-appropriate care according to care plans, assisting the care team, documenting care when appropriate, and communicating changes in client condition or care-related concerns to a licensed nurse. Trainees assist with activities of daily living and basic health care needs, transfers and mobility, meals and nutrition, and housekeeping and laundry duties as assigned within the non-certified nursing assistant role.
