Nurse Tech Trainee

Nurse Tech Trainee

Launch your healthcare career! Are you ready to start a rewarding career in healthcare? Do you dream of becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant (C.N.A.) or Registered Nurse (R.N.)? Whether you're just beginning your journey or taking the first step toward a long-term healthcare career, this program is designed for you!

Gain valuable hands-on experience, develop essential clinical skills, and build a strong foundation that can help you pursue a future in nursing and other healthcare professions. Your healthcare career starts here!

A Nurse Tech Trainee could be the perfect entry level position for you as it is similar to a patient care tech or C.N.A. Not only will you be helping our patients feel and get better, but this position is often a stepping stone toward nursing school and other healthcare professions. You will be providing safe, efficient, and therapeutic patient care services under direction of Licensed Nurse and Medical Staff. Please note you will receive training to perform the duties similar to a C.N.A., but this training program will not provide a C.N.A. certification.
