St Luke Certified Nursing Assistant Training Program St. Luke conducts all CNA Training Programs on-site at the healthcare facility. In the training you will learn how to care for our residents including but not limited to: bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, feeding, transferring (lifting our residents using proper body mechanics as well as some of our mechanical lifts). You will also learn range of motion (exercising our residents' muscles), to take temperatures, pulses, and respiration, to perform skin care and catheter care, to weigh and measure a person in bed, to make an occupied and an unoccupied bed, and to clean and store some of our equipment. Other skills that will be taught include Resident Rights, Safety, Infection Control, Communication and Comfort. You will learn all of these skills in the classroom and then practice them on the clinical days, supervised by our RN In-service Educator and our clinical supervisory staff. Physical requirements of the job include lifting, pushing, pulling, twisting, bending and standing. At least 80% of your workday will be spent using these skills. Once the training is complete, we will schedule you for the State clinical and written exams, which are given on-site and paid for by St. Luke. A clinical evaluator will come in and evaluate you on clinical skills. Tentative passing of the clinical skills portion of the examination will allow you to sit for the State written exam – which is 60 multiple choice questions. The State will notify you by mail whether you have passed or failed. At St. Luke, over 90% of our CNA trainees pass the certification examinations the first time. This is because of our excellent training program and our commitment to giving you the tools you need to be successful! If you successfully complete the class, and receive a certificate in the mail that states you are a Certified Nursing Assistant in NYS, we will increase your pay from the uncertified training rate to the Certified Nursing Assistant rate. You are now ready to be assigned to your unit/shift. First you will have a 10-day orientation to that unit. During this time, you will be paired with an experienced CNA who will help you adjust to your new job duties and act as a resource to answer your questions. Then you will begin working on your assignment in a regular schedule. If you are accepted into the class, we ask you not to miss any class or clinical days or you may be terminated from the program. We feel it is very important for you to have a good knowledge base for your job and absence from the training program hinders this.
