After successfully obtaining a CNA license, your Nurse Aide (Entry Level) position will be converted to a Certified Nurse Aide (Entry Level) position without a change in pay. The one-year employment agreement begins on the date your appointment is converted to a CNA (Entry Level). After being successfully employed as a CNA (Entry Level) for one year, your position will be converted to a CNA (Full Performance Level), which at that time your pay increases to $25.22 per hour. Any extensions, conversions, and provision of state benefits will be upon the discretion of the Facility Management.
Full time employment is 40 hours per week over a seven-day period. There are three shifts, which generally run from 6:45a.m.-3:30p.m. (day); 2:45p.m.-11:00p.m. (evening); and 11:00p.m.-7:00a.m. the following day (night), and assignment will be on a rotational basis. Shift assignment is done through a bidding process and by seniority. Workdays will vary depending on what shifts are assigned. Only under certain circumstance(s), the Facility Administrator may approve work of less than 40 hours per week (at least a minimum 32-39 hours per week) with a preference shift.

We will also send you a list of mandatory school supplies and documents that you are responsible to submit and have prior to attending the training at the HT&CC training site. Failure to submit and/or bring the required items to your first day of class will disqualify you from attending the free training program.
