NCCareGivers 4th Quarter Update

This is the fourth quarter update for NC CareGivers. As of this week, 246 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 February 29, we have 3,140 Nurse Aid I students and 214 Nurse Aide I Refresher students that have registered to participate in the program. Currently, 888 Nurse Aide I students have enrolled in a training program and 768 have completed their program. Nurse Aide I’s have an 86.4% completion rate in their NA class. There may be additional enrollees/completers that have not been entered into the Qualtrics system.

We also have 38 participants that have hiring/employment information entered in the Qualtrics system by skilled nursing facilities. In addition, there are 18 participants that are working at other health care agencies. Have you employed a NC CareGivers participant? Please enter their NC CareGiver’s 10-digit student ID number into the Qualtrics system. Click here for the SNF how-to video.

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.
