LOWVILLE, NY─ Lewis County Health System hosted a celebratory graduation on November 1, 2024, for students from the most recent Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Program.

 

Jesica Nichols, RN, Clinical Educator for Long Term Care, praised the graduates for the hard work and dedication that led them to complete the program.  Mrs. Nichols stated, "CNAs are the front line of nursing and a critical part of the care team."  

 

The New York State-approved course includes clinical and classroom instruction in resident care and prepares students to sit for the CNA Nurse Assistant certification. In the skills lab, students practice taking vital signs and assisting with resident mobility and hygiene. The clinical experience also allows students to work with residents in the Lewis County Residential Health Care Facility, helping with activities of daily living and basic needs. 

 

"All of the students are working at the Residential Health Care Facility, providing valuable and quality care for our residents," stated Debra Wurz, Nursing Home Administrator.  "We are proud of our new graduates and so happy to welcome them to our team."

 

Chief Executive Officer Gerald R. Cayer spoke about the value of seeing new CNAs trained locally in the health system.  "You represent the future of our healthcare system team,” stated Mr. Cayer. "From this first step on the career ladder, along with some experience, you may be able to pursue an LPN or RN license. The following steps on the career ladder are in front of you, and we are here to help you pursue your healthcare dreams!"
