St. Paul's is a State approved nurse aide training facility. The program is offered on site several times throughout the year to its employees. The program is designed to provide students with entry-level skills necessary to perform basic nursing care, and to prepare them to assist residents with activities of daily living. It is typically 3-4 weeks long. Upon successful completion of the program, students are eligible to take the Pennsylvania Nurse Aide Competency Evaluation.
Part-time positions are guaranteed to students who successfully complete the program, with full-time opportunities arising periodically. The next Nurse Aide Training Program is scheduled to begin in October 2010. Individuals interested in becoming a Certified Nurse Aide should submit an application for employment to the Human Resources Office. Certain eligibility requirements apply.
