Are you interested in becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant?

St. Luke's Health System in Boise is kicking off our CNA Apprenticeship Program for Winter 2024!

Certified Nursing Assistant Apprenticeship:

The Certified Nursing Assistant Apprenticeship (CNA-T) program at St. Luke's Health System is aimed at training and developing highly qualified Certified Nursing Assistants to meet the staffing need in our acute care settings.

Program Overview:

This program takes place over a 6-week time frame. Each CNA-T will complete a 6-week academic program through a local community college in a hybrid model of in-person and online learning. Concurrently, apprentices will build on this learning through a St. Luke's apprenticeship experience through clinical precepting, accented with in-class simulation learning. CNA-T's will prepare and sit for the CNA credentialing exam at the end of the program. Upon passing, qualified individuals will be eligible to transfer to a full time or part time Certified Nursing Assistant position at St. Luke's Health System.

Additional Details:

Individuals accepted into the program are hired as part-time employees subject to one year commitment. During the 6 week program you will be hosted by our internal float pool that travels to all 3 Treasure Valley locations. Transportation and flexibility will be required. Each week consists of two 8-hour shifts and an 8-hour class on Fridays from 0800-1600.
