Moon River Nursing Careers has a federal grant for APPRENTICESHIPS. We will be training future health care professionals and placing them in a home healthcare job. The apprentice will serve older adults in Loudoun or Fairfax county, VA. Applicants need to be available to work at least 30 hours per week for a period of one year. The grant includes 120 hours of training to become a Nurse Aide and 24 hours supplemental training in dementia care. The Nurse Aide training is offered in partnership with the American Red Cross. This is the required course to take the Board of Nursing Exam to become a CNA (certified nursing assistant). A CNA is qualified to work in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living communities, clinics, home care and hospice. This is a great opportunity for homemakers returning to the workforce, veterans, college graduates pursuing medical school or PA school and those seeking a new career path.
The course includes:
• 50 hours of online instruction using the American Red Cross curriculum. This includes professionally produced videos that students can view from their home at a time that is convenient for them.
• 30 hours skills lab training at Moon River Nursing Careers in Ashburn, VA
Skills labs are Monday-Friday 8 a.m. -2:30 p.m.
• 40 hours clinicals at a long-term care facility
Clinicals are held Monday-Friday or Tuesday-Saturday from 6:45 a.m. -3:15 p.m.
Work with an experienced CNA and use the skills you have learned.
