If you want to work in health care, CHI Saint Joseph Health can help you get started.
Patient care technicians are essential caregivers who assist patients with daily care needs, such as bathing or feeding, to support healing, safety and wellness. The new State Registered Nurse Aide (SRNA) program at Saint Joseph Hospital helps current and newly hired patient care technicians advance their skills and careers.
“With the SRNA program, patient care technicians gain more indepth knowledge,” said Kami Poole-Warder, MBA, RN, CCM, NE-BC, vice president of patient care services at Saint Joseph East, market education and professional practice. “This extra support and training enhances patient experience and the experience of our patient care technicians, as well.”
The SRNA program offers an exciting opportunity to start a health care career without the barriers of cost or time that come with a traditional educational path. In the program, training hours are paid and completed during regularly scheduled work hours.
At Saint Joseph Hospital, new and seasoned patient care technicians without a certification can enroll in the nursing assistant course at Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC). After completing the course, they’re ready to take the exam and handson skills test to become a certified SRNA and advance their career to the next level.
