Nurse Aide in Training is a program that allows the employee to receive online and on‑the‑floor training as a Nurse Aide. Those who provide good customer service, are reliable, team players, and have a strong work ethic will become eligible for education assistance to become a Certified Nurse Aide. Depending on availability and the employee’s learning preferences, PAID ON THE JOB TRAINING will be provided at NO COST through one of the following avenues:

• Classes on or offsite at a Regency location.
• A local program offered by a community college or technical school.
• An internship and a waiver to skip the class but be able to pass a skills check and practice exam provided by the facility, that qualifies the employee to schedule for testing.

• Provide residents with comfort and safety, including detecting and reporting situations that may cause accidents or injuries.
