OSWEGO — Oswego Health announced that seven certified nursing assistants (CNAs) have graduated from the organization’s on-the-job training and paid-certification program at The Manor at Seneca Hill, a 120-bed skilled-nursing facility. Employees at the Manor can take advantage of a five-week, hands-on training program at the facility to advance their careers as CNAs, Oswego Health said. Seven employees participated in the latest edition of the paid-training program: Jestina Inman, Lataya Tunstall, Jason Rudick, Sarah Clements, Anthony Parker, Gabriela Campos Toro, and Haylee Klawonn. The program consists of 240 hours of clinical, class, and lab training. While in the program, full-time employment is available for resident-care aides. The average cost of certification is $2,000 and the Manor provides this at no cost for those interested in beginning their career in health care, Oswego Health said. Upon completion, employees are eligible for full-time employment and a $3,500 sign-on bonus. For experienced CNAs looking for a job, a $7,000 sign-on bonus is available, per the announcement.
