Success stories of Refugees in Pennsylvania
Greater Access to Independence for Newcomers
GAIN staff members worked on preparing our first in house CNA preparation class. Class started on September 22nd with 12 future CNA students attending the same. GAIN’S CNA prep class offers the basics of what to expect performing the duties and responsibilities of a nursing assistant, however, this is a career in which skill levels and confidence dramatically improve once the nursing assistant becomes involved in the daily routine of actual performing patient care and their needs. Instructor for the class is Ms. Barbara Seriano who is ANCC Board Certified in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing.
The training, which provided instruction and applied skill sessions, helped prepare our clients for the mandatory Certified Nursing Assistant State License exam and class itself. Thanks to IRS’s work to get our clients into this program, our clients now have a chance to advance to more sustainable employment.
In our CNA Preparation Program, we train refugees for careers in hospital and nursing home settings. Several times per year, we will offer a 9-week training course for our prospective clients whishing to enter a profession in medical field.
