- Assisting patients with daily living tasks such as feeding, bathing, and moving around
- Collaborating with other health care team members to personalize and enhance a patient’s care plan
- Responding to and anticipating the needs of a patient’s family members

Saint Luke’s has developed a full-time, six-week paid training program to equip entry-level nursing assistants with the knowledge and skills they need for the job. The program encompasses both classroom work and hands-on training at Saint Luke’s hospitals, culminating in full, supervised shifts. No college degree is required.
Note: This program is not designed to prepare students to sit for a certified nursing assistant (CNA) exam, but will prepare them for jobs within Saint Luke’s that do not require certification. Learn more about our nursing assistant training program (PDF).
