Get Your Students Hired
Cheree,
You will find that between changes in your school's policies, CIE, and the USDOE, we are always changing in our sector. It is very important to keep current.

Alvin,
Many schools allow refresher courses or continuing education to students. These opportunities keep your students current and in contact with your school.

Denise,
Don't be afraid to get creative and add any additional material to assist you in your job. It should be most read book on your bookshelf.

Thank you for your post. You have reaffirmed the need of a relevant and current resource manual.

Your definitions really described your school and students. Excellent!

doreen,
You are exactly right. We need to be speaking of the same things in order to eliminate misunderstandings.

Definitions are very important especially when dealing with two governing boards, CIE and the Florida Board of Nursing.

These are some of the terms used in discussing our programs with prospective students:Licensure for CNA, Enrollment agreement, CIE, Board of Nursing, Home Health Aide certification, regulations, programs, payment options, fees must be paid prior to licensure exam application being sent to the state. Our school is very small, I am the administrator and RN instructor, we are touching and changing lives which is our goal. I am hoping to instill a sense of purpose and confidence in my students to begin a healthcare career, an to train them to be competent, ethical, compassionate caregivers to our elderly population.
I come from a Medicare Home Health background which is highly regulated. In the beginning of my process to open a CNA/HHA training program, I instituted an administrative manual. It includes all licensure information, current catalog, enrollment agreement. any and all credentials of licensed employees, advertising materials, city and county licensure items, and will now include the information from this course. This notebook was a good resource when we have our site visit from the commission.
