RESTORATIVE NURSING PROGRAMS

Restorative Nursing Aide Course (RNA)

The purpose of the course is to give comprehensive training in the rehabilitative process. It is a class that describes the rehab team, detailed instruction on the various conditions which affect rehab residents, and the basic care and specialized handling procedures that facilitate resident recovery and maximize caregiver efficiency. The format is lecture, demonstration, and practice. There is one final test (written) to reinforce the most important techniques discussed. There is time allotted for Q & A.

Give your skilled nursing facility a performance edge by training members of your nursing and interdisciplinary team. Update and improve patient care with quality restorative nursing programs. Experienced long-term care physical, occupational and speech pathologists teach the intensive programs. The curriculum includes lectures and demonstrations followed by a skill review for each student.

Our single-day course is designed to help CNAs, RA’s, LVN’s & RN’s acquire new skills or gain confidence in their existing skills. Students will learn to care for residents who have completed a therapy program or who will benefit from participation in a restorative program.
