NC CareGivers Quarterly Update

NC CareGivers is proud to partner with North Carolina’s skilled nursing facilities to address the critical shortage of nurse aides in our state. The overall goal of the NC CareGivers Program is to add at least 4,000 new nurse aides to work in skilled nursing facilities by the end of the three-year grant.   

Quarterly Update 

As of today, 247 skilled nursing facilities, 57 community colleges, and 14 proprietary schools have registered to participate in the NC CareGivers Program. Congratulations and thank you for being one of our participating facilities.  

As of December 31, program participation is as follows: 

• 2,906 Nurse Aid I students registered to participate  
• 206 Nurse Aide I Refresher students registered to participate  
• 786 Nurse Aide I students have enrolled in a training program  
• 648 Nurse Aide I students have completed their program

Nurse Aide I’s have an 82.44% completion rate in their NA class. There may be additional enrollees/completers that have not been entered into the Qualtrics system.   

Currently, there are 38 participants that have hiring/employment information entered in the Qualtrics system by skilled nursing facilities. In addition, 18 participants are working at other health care agencies. NC CareGivers participants can enter their NC CareGiver’s ten-digit student ID number into the Qualtrics system. The SNF How-To Video will assist you in the process. Contact Renee Batts at reneeb@futurecarenc.org  if you need assistance.
