Training program aimed to reduce RN turnover and improve NA retention, highlighting its importance in health care.
Nursing assistants (NAs) are essential health care team members; however, recruiting and retaining experienced individuals can sometimes be challenging. To address this issue, a Nursing Assistant Training Program was developed to provide on-the-job education and training for individuals with no health care background who wish to start a career in this field. The program includes didactic classroom education, mock simulated training and observation, and hands-on training in a patient care environment within an acute care hospital. This program aims to enhance NAs’ recruitment, retention, and success rates by offering a comprehensive program tailored to meet various learner needs. It also aims to determine if incorporating this program will directly impact registered nurses’ turnover and vacancy rates.
