00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.770
(upbeat music)
2
00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:04.260
What if, in as little as five weeks,
3
00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:05.820
you could launch your nursing career,
4
00:00:05.820 --> 00:00:09.720
earn an income, and gain experience in a clinical setting?
5
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:12.660
Well, let me tell you about the Wellstar
6
00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:15.780
Accelerated Certified Nursing Assistant Program.
7
00:00:15.780 --> 00:00:18.540
In this five to eight-week CNA program,
8
00:00:18.540 --> 00:00:20.820
you will be equipped with the knowledge, tools,
9
00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:22.560
and skills you need to succeed
10
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:25.530
in a nursing support role at Wellstar.
11
00:00:25.530 --> 00:00:29.970
But wait, what does a certified nursing assistant do?
12
00:00:29.970 --> 00:00:33.270
You serve as an important link in the healthcare workforce
13
00:00:33.270 --> 00:00:36.120
by providing care to our patients on a physical,
14
00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:37.890
emotional, and personal level
15
00:00:37.890 --> 00:00:40.800
while working alongside our registered nurses.
16
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:43.740
Some of the CNA roles include providing personal care,
17
00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:46.020
like bathing, assisting with feeding,
18
00:00:46.020 --> 00:00:47.370
dressing and undressing,
19
00:00:47.370 --> 00:00:49.230
measuring and recording vital signs,
20
00:00:49.230 --> 00:00:51.330
assisting with bathroom privileges,
21
00:00:51.330 --> 00:00:53.610
identifying and reporting abnormalities,
22
00:00:53.610 --> 00:00:57.600
and providing basic life support, such as CPR, if needed.
23
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.570
To help you learn these skills, our program will equip you
24
00:01:00.570 --> 00:01:02.910
with over 100 hours of training.
25
00:01:02.910 --> 00:01:04.830
Upon acceptance into the program,
26
00:01:04.830 --> 00:01:07.740
you will work full-time hours as a CNA trainee
27
00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:09.000
on an assigned work unit,
28
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.700
which means you will be paid to work at the bedside
29
00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:15.840
and take the CNA course with one of our academic partners.
30
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.030
This does come with an agreement to serve Wellstar
31
00:01:18.030 --> 00:01:20.343
for one year upon completion of the program.
32
00:01:21.330 --> 00:01:24.060
So what does the program involve?
33
00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:26.100
We have it split up into two phases,
34
00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:29.280
each following our work-learn-do model.
35
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.920
In phase one, you will be paired with a preceptor
36
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.980
and work on a nursing unit in a nursing support role,
37
00:01:34.980 --> 00:01:36.900
while also attending classes.
38
00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:38.610
Talk about learning on the job.
39
00:01:38.610 --> 00:01:42.270
Your classroom experience will entail in-classroom learning,
40
00:01:42.270 --> 00:01:45.540
hands-on labs, and virtual study assignments.
41
00:01:45.540 --> 00:01:49.140
You will grow your knowledge of anatomy and physiology,
42
00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:50.640
legal and patient rights,
43
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.670
equipment usage, care, and safety measures,
44
00:01:53.670 --> 00:01:55.200
and through the hands-on labs,
45
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.570
performance skills such as applying
46
00:01:57.570 --> 00:02:00.120
and removing PPE equipment and hand washing,
47
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:01.860
just to name a few.
48
00:02:01.860 --> 00:02:04.950
We also collaborate with academic partners across the state
49
00:02:04.950 --> 00:02:07.140
to provide even more flexible options
50
00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:08.670
for classroom schedules.
51
00:02:08.670 --> 00:02:11.100
You complete the program in phase two.
52
00:02:11.100 --> 00:02:12.570
You will begin to work on your own
53
00:02:12.570 --> 00:02:14.460
with a patient assignment while you prepare
54
00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:16.230
to take your state examination.
55
00:02:16.230 --> 00:02:17.460
You'll be provided weekly,
56
00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:19.620
self-directed study prep activities
57
00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:21.840
and hands-on practice skill sessions.
58
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.670
Once you pass the state examination,
59
00:02:23.670 --> 00:02:25.950
you will transition from CNA training
60
00:02:25.950 --> 00:02:28.410
to a care partner within your assigned unit.
61
00:02:28.410 --> 00:02:32.430
All of this is designed to ensure your success at Wellstar.
62
00:02:32.430 --> 00:02:34.350
Let's hear from some graduates on the program
63
00:02:34.350 --> 00:02:35.970
to hear what they have to say.
64
00:02:35.970 --> 00:02:38.670
While starting as a CNA, I've learned honestly
65
00:02:38.670 --> 00:02:40.410
so much more than I've expected.
66
00:02:40.410 --> 00:02:43.470
Time management, utilizing your patients,
67
00:02:43.470 --> 00:02:45.900
being able to be more professional.
68
00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:48.720
I like my instructor. She helped me a lot.
69
00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:51.060
She was like a personal tutor for me.
70
00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:52.230
I sleep better at night now
71
00:02:52.230 --> 00:02:55.530
knowing I was able to make a difference in someone's life
72
00:02:55.530 --> 00:02:58.500
First of all, it was my dream to be a nurse,
73
00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:00.120
so this will be the first step.
74
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.240
I see how Wellstar has the employee's back.
75
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.330
They make you engage and they make you want to go further
76
00:03:06.330 --> 00:03:07.830
and they make you want to grow.
77
00:03:07.830 --> 00:03:10.020
CNA would be, like, the perfect job to start
78
00:03:10.020 --> 00:03:13.050
if you want to go further in the health field.
79
00:03:13.050 --> 00:03:16.350
These are just a few of the many success stories
80
00:03:16.350 --> 00:03:18.420
we've seen come out of this program.
81
00:03:18.420 --> 00:03:21.300
Don't wait to launch your career in nursing.
