| do nursing homes offer cna training: Forty-Five Years in White Uniforms C.L.G. Solomon, 2013-06-25 Forty five years in white uniforms From the pen of the same writer of the book Natural Bread Is Not Enough comes a partial biographical account of her forty-five-year nursing career. Seventeen years were spent working in various disciplines of nursing, while the final twenty-eight years were spent working in public health nursing. In keeping with HIPPA laws, which are designed to protect the privacy of clients and their information, no part of this writing at any point ever divulges anyones name or records. The information is recollected from various work experiences, in various cities and states, over a period of years. Forty-five years have not qualified me to be an authority in the nursing field. It has simply given me various insights that someone else may read about and make a quality career decision. I had classmates who dropped out of nursing school and stated, Nursing definitely is not for me. Some students failed because they underestimated the amount of study and dedication involved in becoming a nurse. Some students were not willing to spend long hours in study and research. Some found that the sights and smells of blood and other body fluids were definite turnoffs. One other classmate completed the entire nursing program with a 4.0 average, only to say she hated it. She never practiced a day of nursing. She excelled in clinicals as well as in the classroom. She received the highest academic award in our class, yet nursing was not her cup of tea. The experiences that I encountered in my personal life somewhat intensified my desire to become a nurse. I am happy to have been able to practice the kind of work that was very satisfying to me. The nursing knowledge that paralleled certain difficult times in my life was priceless. Nursing is the type of profession that one can practice in different settings with various categories of people, such as the aged, the middle aged, the young adults, the teens, the expectant moms and their childrenthe newborn, premature babiesand people with special needs. Work settings run the gamut from hospitals to jails, institutions, the military, private homes, clinics, schools, rehabilitation centers of different types, and other settings not mentioned. Someone once said, Variety is the spice of life. Variety abounds in the nursing profession. A nurse can expand on her career by becoming an advanced registered nurse practitioner, nurse anesthetist, midwife, legal consultant, or she may go on to medical school to be a physician. Nurses also train other nurses. Administration is another career option within nursing. One of the first things a prospective nurse needs to consider is which type of program she should choose. Some students choose the certified nursing assistant (CNA) program. They want to obtain some of the basic skills and a quick job. These skills often include learning to take vital signs, such as blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. They learn how to do basic care and other skills that can assist the nurse in his/her work. CNA skills can serve as a pivotal point for the person to move higher into the medical profession. Some certified nursing assistants advance their training and become registered nurses and doctors. Nurses are trained in programs of different length and at different levels. Licensed practical nurses, or LPNS, may train one or more years depending on where they train. Registered nurses, or RNs, may complete an associates degree and start work after licensure. RNs may also complete a four-year baccalaureate-degree program. All levels must be certified. Some medical facilities offer CNA training whereby a student may work and train in their facility at the same time. Upon completion of training, the student is expected to work for the institution for a contracted amount of time. The student may stop at this level or move further into the profession. Associate and baccalaureate programs are located on College campuses. A C |
| do nursing homes offer cna training: Nursing Homes Explained Delia Marie Franklin, 2013 This book will help readers understand more about gerontological nursing, how the different nursing specialties interact, and the necessity for multidisciplinary team approaches to improve systems in the industry. The book also highlights some of the many individuals who have contributed to reaching for higher care levels in nursing homes. Innovative processes such as the Eden Alternative and the Quality Indicator Survey process are introduced, which will assist people to understand the wide range of ways in which the system can be improved. As the author emphasizes throughout the book, the psychology of kindness is essential and needs to be demonstrated by everyone in the gerontological field, from care-providers to families and patients. Emotions can run high as patients and families may be frightened, confused, and concerned about making good decisions, while the care providers are themselves working hard to provide appropriate care while coping with multiple demands. Consideration and humor are, in fact, most important for creating a positive atmosphere for those in nursing homes. |
| do nursing homes offer cna training: Retooling for an Aging America Institute of Medicine, Board on Health Care Services, Committee on the Future Health Care Workforce for Older Americans, 2008-08-27 As the first of the nation's 78 million baby boomers begin reaching age 65 in 2011, they will face a health care workforce that is too small and woefully unprepared to meet their specific health needs. Retooling for an Aging America calls for bold initiatives starting immediately to train all health care providers in the basics of geriatric care and to prepare family members and other informal caregivers, who currently receive little or no training in how to tend to their aging loved ones. The book also recommends that Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans pay higher rates to boost recruitment and retention of geriatric specialists and care aides. Educators and health professional groups can use Retooling for an Aging America to institute or increase formal education and training in geriatrics. Consumer groups can use the book to advocate for improving the care for older adults. Health care professional and occupational groups can use it to improve the quality of health care jobs. |

| do nursing homes offer cna training: Dementia Ellen Hickey, Michelle S. Bourgeois, 2017-12-19 Person-centered care for persons with dementia has been developed and expanded over the last few decades. Speech-language pathologists are uniquely positioned to understand the striking impact that communication challenges have on persons with dementia and their caregivers, and can lead the charge to improve access to communication and participation. This volume serves as a starting point and reference manual for those who want to provide person-centered and life-enhancing services to persons with dementia, and to inspire the continued generation of quality research to demonstrate the value of cognitive-communication, behavioral, and caregiver interventions.

| do nursing homes offer cna training: Abandoned Families Kristin S. Seefeldt, Kristin Seefeldt, 2016-12-25 Choosing whom to marry involves more than emotion, as racial politics, cultural mores, and local demographics all shape romantic choices. In Marriage Vows and Racial Choices, sociologist Jessica Vasquez-Tokos explores the decisions of Latinos who marry either within or outside of their racial and ethnic groups. Drawing from in-depth interviews with nearly 50 couples, she examines their marital choices and how these unions influence their identities as Americans. Vasquez-Tokos finds that their experiences in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood shape their perceptions of race, which in turn influence their romantic expectations. Most Latinos marry other Latinos, but those who intermarry tend to marry whites. She finds that some Latina women who had domineering fathers assumed that most Latino men shared this trait and gravitated toward white men who differed from their fathers. Other Latina respondents who married white men fused ideas of race and class and perceived whites as higher status and considered themselves to be “marrying up.” Latinos who married non-Latino minorities—African Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans—often sought out non-white partners because they shared similar experiences of racial marginalization. Latinos who married Latinos of a different national origin expressed a desire for shared cultural commonalities with their partners, but—like those who married whites—often associated their own national-origin groups with oppressive gender roles. Vasquez-Tokos also investigates how racial and cultural identities are maintained or altered for the respondents’ children. Within Latino-white marriages, biculturalism—in contrast with Latinos adopting a white “American” identity—is likely to emerge. For instance, white women who married Latino men often embraced aspects of Latino culture and passed it along to their children. Yet, for these children, upholding Latino cultural ties depended on their proximity to other Latinos, particularly extended family members. Both location and family relationships shape how parents and children from interracial families understand themselves culturally. As interracial marriages become more common, Marriage Vows and Racial Choices shows how race, gender, and class influence our marital choices and personal lives. |

| do nursing homes offer cna training: Ethics, Law, and Aging Review, Volume 9 Marshall B. Kapp, JD, MPH, FCLM, 2003-08-15 This volume explores the concept of safety as applied in the long term care context. Chapters examine the way in which the quest for safety may work either synergistically or adversely upon other worthy social goals. Among the initiatives considered are promoting the decision-making autonomy of patients/clients and their surrogates, enhancing the quality of care and quality of life available to long term care residents, and providing fair compensation for injured victims when serious harm occurs. Questions addressed that are of concern to legal and ethical theorists, social science researchers, and patient/client advocates include: To what extent do litigation and/or regulation accomplish the safety and other legitimate objectives of public policy in the long term care arena? Do the costs of various approaches outweigh the benefits in promoting safety and other goals? How do litigation and regulation compare with alternative approaches to achieving the same goals, in terms of an acceptable cost/benefit balance? |

Porell, 2012-04-06 Certified nursing assistants (CNAs) working in nursing homes are at significant risk for work-related injuries, but little is known about the frequency and types of their injuries, and how assistive equipment such as patient lifts affects injury rates. The study described in this research report analyzed the prevalence, nature, and predictors of injuries among CNAs working in US nursing homes. Researchers used 2004 data from the National Nursing Assistant Survey and the National Nursing Home Survey. One of their findings was that 60 percent of all CNAs nationally reported a work-related injury in the year prior to the survey. |

| do nursing homes offer cna training: Migrants Who Care Fumilayo Showers, 2023-09-15 As the U.S. population ages and as health care needs become more complex, demand for paid care workers in home and institutional settings has increased. This book draws attention to the reserve of immigrant labor that is called on to meet this need. Migrants Who Care tells the little-known story of a group of English-speaking West African immigrants who have become central to the U.S. health and long-term care systems. With high human capital and middle-class pre-migration backgrounds, these immigrants - hailing from countries as diverse as Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, and Liberia - encounter blocked opportunities in the U.S. labor market. They then work in the United States, as home health aides, certified nursing assistants, qualified disability support professionals, and licensed practical and registered nurses. This book reveals the global, political, social, and economic factors that have facilitated the entry of West African women and men into the health care labor force (home and institutional care for older adults and individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities; and skilled nursing). It highlights these immigrants’ role as labor brokers who tap into their local ethnic and immigrant communities to channel co-ethnics to meet this labor demand. It illustrates how West African care workers understand their work across various occupational settings and segments in the health care industry. This book reveals the transformative processes migrants undergo as they become produced, repackaged, and deployed as health care workers after migration. Ultimately, this book tells the very real and human story of an immigrant group surmounting tremendous obstacles to carve out a labor market niche in health care, providing some of the most essential and intimate aspects of care labor to the most vulnerable members of society. |

| do nursing homes offer cna training: Moving Up in the New Economy Joan Fitzgerald, 2018-07-05 The United States used to be a country where ordinary people could expect to improve their economic condition as they moved through life. For millions of us, this is no longer the case. Many Americans today have a lower standard of living as adults than they had in their parents' homes as children.... This book is about restoring the upward mobility of U.S. workers. Specifically, it addresses the workforce-development strategy of creating not just jobs, but career ladders.—from Moving Up in the New Economy Career-ladder strategies create opportunities for low-wage workers to learn new skills and advance through a progression of higher-skilled and better-paid jobs. For example, nurses' aides can become licensed practical nurses, administrative assistants can become information technology workers, and bank tellers can become loan officers. Career-ladder programs could provide opportunities for upward mobility and also stave off impending national shortages of skilled workers. But there are a variety of obstacles that must be faced candidly if career-ladder programs are to succeed. In Moving Up in the New Economy, Joan Fitzgerald explores specific programs in different sectors of the economy—health care, child care, education, manufacturing, and biotechnology—to offer a comprehensive analysis of this innovative approach to job training. Addressing the successes achieved—and the problems faced—by career-ladder programs, this timely book will be of interest to anyone interested in career development, workforce training, and employment issues, especially those that affect low-wage workers. |
| do nursing homes offer cna training: Immigrant Women Workers in the Neoliberal Age Nilda Flores-Gonzalez, Anna Romina Guevarra, Maura Toro-Morn, Grace Chang, 2013-07-01 To date, most research on immigrant women and labor forces has focused on the participation of immigrant women on formal labor markets. In this study, contributors focus on informal economies such as health care, domestic work, street vending, and the garment industry, where displaced and undocumented women are more likely to work. Because such informal labor markets are unregulated, many of these workers face abusive working conditions that are not reported for fear of job loss or deportation. In examining the complex dynamics of how immigrant women navigate political and economic uncertainties, this collection highlights the important role of citizenship status in defining immigrant women's opportunities, wages, and labor conditions. Contributors are Pallavi Banerjee, Grace Chang, Margaret M. Chin, Jennifer Jihye Chun, Héctor R.
