The Nursing Assistant Trainee is enrolled in a learning experience designed to develop the confidence and competence to serve as a caregiver that provides personal care to clients. Under the supervision of a licensed nurse, the trainee, in partnership with a preceptor, provides holistic client‑centered care that promotes independence and client rights in a safe, caring, and efficient manner. The trainee is required to work within the role of a non‑certified nursing assistant and is enrolled in a formal nursing assistant program with a hybrid format that includes an online curriculum and hands‑on skills development.

At completion of the program, participants will be prepared to take state knowledge and skills exams to obtain the Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) or other state certification.

During the Nursing Assistant Training Program, the trainee serves as a member of the nursing team and adheres to infection prevention and control standards, personal protective equipment use, safety, and privacy requirements.

The trainee works with clients and their families to meet physical, cognitive, spiritual, emotional, and social needs, delivering age‑appropriate care as defined in the care plan.

The trainee assists the care team and documents client care when appropriate, communicates changes in client condition and care‑related concerns to a licensed nurse, and assists with basic health‑care needs and activities of daily living such as bathing, toileting, grooming, dressing, undressing, obtaining vital signs, providing psychosocial support, and delivering other personal care as assigned. Additional duties include assisting clients with transferring, repositioning, range‑of‑motion exercises, walking using appropriate techniques and equipment, eating and drinking, housekeeping, laundry, and other tasks within the non‑certified nursing assistant role.
