Get paid to learn!

Selected applicants will interview with Human Resources and the Nursing Assistant Supervisor. If chosen for the program, the student must commit to become an employee of Glencoe Regional Health upon completion of the program. Once employed, and upon successful completion of the 90-day orientation period requirements, each student is then eligible for a $1500 stipend. This stipend represents time spent completing online learning modules, hands-on skills learning, and practical training. There is no cost to the student to participate in the program, which can be up to a $1,000+ value!

Training includes:

33 Hours

of interactive online modules the student can complete when and where it is convenient.

28 Hours

of hands-on skills learning takes place in GlenFields Living with Care, set up exactly like a resident’s room.

16 Hours

of supervised practical training in GlenFields Living with Care, with our RN Education Specialist.

Once a student has completed the program, they will participate in the State licensing exams. After both are successfully complete, the student will become a Minnesota Registered Nursing Assistant and ready to make a difference as part of our team!

Make friends and have fun!

We offer small class sizes to facilitate each student’s learning needs, and to promote success every step of the way. Our small class sizes also allow students to learn and work together! The friends you make in the program may also be team members you work alongside when you complete training and the State licensing exams.

We’re looking for individuals 16 years of age and older who are caring, compassionate, and want to make a difference in the lives of the seniors we serve.
