CNA students have a high risk of burnout. Taking classes in addition to intense lab and clinical work might force potential CNAs to abandon the training system, regardless of how badly they want to succeed. To address this, a novel strategy has been developed to reduce stress and anxiety while also lowering the burnout rate among CNA students.
Not All Training Programs Are Created Equally
In order to fill vacancies rapidly, the care industry’s requirement for CNAs has given rise to some pretty extensive training programs. Prospective CNAs attend classes at a facility, where they learn in extensive class periods intermingled with lab and clinical practice. Intensive training may appear to be a quick remedy, but it may be daunting for even the most dedicated pupils. The disadvantage is a high rate of burnout and a substantially lower number of persons completing the course. However, facilities may only have time and space available for classes on specific days, putting a burden on all parties.
Examining Training from the Perspective of a CNA Student
The majority of people who desire to become CNAs already have highly busy lifestyles. They want to become CNAs so that they may care for others, begin a career in the healthcare profession, and improve themselves with a more rewarding work than the one they now have. Many people find themselves in a difficult scenario where they must take time off from employment for courses, adjust their personal commitments, and still manage to focus on their academics. It’s simple to understand why the burnout rate is so high, and why the business is losing CNAs before they’ve even completed their studies.
Using a Novel Approach to CNA Training
ÁNMUT Nursing School has a program for CNA students that is both flexible and accessible. The program provides an online course that is available as an eBook or audio book, enabling CNA students to access to source material on their cellphones or other devices 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This allows CNA students to learn at their own speed and focus on studies without having to plan time off from work or overlook their real-life commitments. Furthermore, ÁNMUT Nursing School collaborates with hospitals for lab and clinical training days, making scheduling much easier for everyone involved. The end consequence is bigger passing classes of CNAs and a matching system to place those new CNAs in facilities.
