The Trained Nursing Assistants also collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to maximize the quality of life for our residents. Not only does our program provide the necessary training, the majority of our trainees are hired after they complete the course and get their certification!

DETAILS ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Once individuals are accepted into the program, they are required to take an eight hour ACHA class and are paired with a CNA who has been carefully selected by the nursing team. There is also a competency sheet that needs to be completed. The TNA’s are provided with job descriptions, but of course, they are limited in their responsibilities until they have completed the class. Next, the TNA’s take an online course, which is taught by Karen Petruccelli, Vice President of Clinical Quality Improvement. In essence, clinical instruction is provided in conjunction with classroom theory and laboratory work.
