The Nursing Assistant Trainee is enrolled in a learning experience designed to develop the confidence and competence to serve as a caregiver that provides personal care to clients. Under the supervision of a licensed nurse, the trainee, in partnership with a preceptor, provides holistic client‐centered care that promotes independence and client rights in a safe, caring, and efficient manner. The trainee is required to work within the role of a non‑certified nursing assistant.

The trainee is enrolled in a formal nursing assistant program and required to fulfill all training requirements in the designated timeframe. The trainee is not allowed to perform any service unless they have been trained and found to be proficient by the instructor. The program is delivered in a hybrid format which includes an online curriculum and hands‑on skills development.

Trainees learn the skills and processes needed to provide care and assistance to clients. At completion of the training program, participants will be prepared to take state knowledge and skills exams to obtain the Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) or other state certification designation. While in the Nursing Assistant Training Program, the trainee serves as a member of the nursing team and will be held accountable to know and follow location‑specific standards for infection prevention and control, personal protective equipment use, safety, and privacy.

The trainee works with clients and their families to ensure their physical, cognitive, spiritual, emotional, and social needs are met. The trainee delivers age‑appropriate care to meet the physical, psychological, and restorative needs of the client as defined in the care plan.

The trainee assists the care team and documents client care when appropriate, communicating changes in client condition and care‑related concerns to a licensed nurse, and assisting with basic health care needs and activities of daily living such as bathing, toileting, grooming, dressing, undressing, obtaining vital signs, providing psychosocial support, and delivering other personal care as assigned. The trainee assists the client in transferring, repositioning, range of motion exercises, and walking using appropriate transfer techniques and equipment.

The trainee assists clients with meals and snacks and provides water and nutritional supplements as appropriate. The trainee assists with housekeeping, laundry services, and other duties as assigned within the non‑certified nursing assistant role.
