We have found that many C.N.A's that come from other states or are from out of the country can have some unusual ways of caring for residents. Many have not been properly trained in infection control, proper body mechanics or standard patient care. Since C.N.A. training is not standardized we see many poorly trained people. We use our video to help in re-training and reviewing all the commonly used skills in resident care.

Our video was put together using the training methods of Registered Nursing Schools. We have found even in some nurse aide textbooks procedures being shown contrary to RN training. Until a national standardized skills training program is adopted there will continue to be these anomalies. This is not to say that there is only one way to do something. But a more consistent skills training program would give residents across the country a continuity in their caregivers.

Since we do not have a national standard for skills training it is up to each facility to adopt, for its own residents, a skills training program that each staff member can use. Performing resident care in a consistent, safe and efficient manor can provide residents with a sense of security and stability.

We hope that you will find our skills video offers your facility the inservice training you are looking for.
