Cox Medical
Center Branson is now taking applications for its new Nurse Assistant Training
Program. The six-week program offers training specifically designed to
prepare unlicensed caregivers to provide excellent hands-on patient care.
“Our Nurse
Assistant Training Program is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in
providing patient care to receive the training they need to begin a career in
healthcare,” explains Nursing Education Manager Matthew Farmer, RN. “The entire
six-week training program, which includes 32-hours each week of classroom and
clinical training, is paid. At the end of the training program, students will
receive resume building support and interview coaching to assist with placement
as a nursing assistant.”
Farmer
explains that after one year as working as nurse aid, students will have the
opportunity to take an exam to become a certified nursing assistant (CNA).
“A career in
healthcare can be very rewarding and our new Nurse Assistant Training Program
is a great way to enter the field,” Farmer says.
