There are some positions in nursing homes, assistant living facilities, and home care that do not require a C.N.A. nurse aide or nursing assistant. It is still important that the resident assistant understand the fundamentals of patient care. We have developed this RA training program for these aides. We have also found that this program is an excellent refresher course for your nursing assistants, nurse aide and C.N.A.'s. This program along with our Skills Video help keep your staff's patient care top quality. (skills video sold separately)

Please feel free to call or email any questions you may have regarding this program. Thank you.

TRAIN NEW EMPLOYEES IN A DAY

This 4+ hour course was designed to help employees with little or no health care experience, learn the basic skills needed to perform their jobs. Included is a 38 page teacher's manual that is clear, and easy to follow. The 45 min. video is done in six sections that corresponds to the six sections of the teacher's manual. We have included handouts, such as, word definitions, equipment and supply recognition, Resident Bill or Rights, along with a quiz for your students.

This course encourages class discussions and is ideal for bringing together your existing staff members (in-service training for your C.N.A.'s) with new employees. New and existing staff begin to work as a team in the classroom, and gain an understanding of the value of teamwork on the job.
