CONWAY — National Nursing Assistants Week takes place every June and is dedicated to recognizing the efforts of Nursing Assistants — LNAs (Licensed Nursing Assistants) and CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants). With much of its patient care provided by these dedicated professionals, Visiting Nurse Home Care & Hospice recently announced new efforts to recruit and train LNAs through the use of cutting-edge technology and training programs.
Proof positive of this effort is the recent investment in a patient simulation lab, a new technology to train LNAs and other staff members. It is designed to allow newly licensed LNAs to get the hands-on practical experience they need to ensure the highest quality of care for home healthcare patients.
