Student Nursing Assistant Float Pool

Overview

Calling all early nursing students! If you are slated to graduate in 2027, we invite you to consider the Student Nursing Assistant (SNA) role. The SNA role complements your nursing program and provides hands-on, tech-focused experience under the direction of an RN. You will assist the care team with daily tasks, formulate, implement, and organize care interventions for a group of patients, and help provide a safe and efficient environment.

You will also assist with preparing patients for transfer or discharge. Hands-on care focuses on Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), personal hygiene, patient mobilization and rehabilitation. Basic procedures such as dressing changes, wound care, urinary catheter care, perineal care, specimen collection, and EKGs will be reinforced in this role.

Working from the Float Pool (rotating unit placements), SNAs will enhance and diversify their clinical experience, with opportunity to move into a Student Nurse Extern role during the senior year/last semester of nursing school.
