How does it work?

  • Participants are hired into a paid, non-patient care role at one of our skilled nursing facilities.

  • During this employment period, we cover the cost of a state-approved nurse aide training program.

  • Participants receive on-the-job support and experience while completing their training.

  • Upon successful completion, participants earn their license or certification.

  • They then transition into a nurse aide position, providing hands-on patient care.

  • The entire program typically takes up to four months to complete from start to finish.

We have been training and developing nurse aides for more than 20 years, with 20,000+ graduates and counting.

Our CNA Leadership Council

Empowering CNAs. Enhancing Care. Leading Change.

At the helm is Cathleen Soda, our National Director of Patient Safety and Chair of the CNA Leadership Council. With over 30 years of nursing experience and a lifelong passion for patient safety, Cathy leads with vision and compassion. Supporting her is Nichelle Bennett, CNA at Chapel Manor, who serves as Co-Chair and a powerful advocate for her peers.

Through monthly meetings and continuous collaboration with national clinical teams, the CNA Leadership Council ensures that the voice of the CNA is not only heard—but acted upon. Their contributions are shaping a stronger, more supportive workplace and ultimately better outcomes for those we serve.

Here’s what our graduates say!

Hannah Millman: Assistant Activities Director, Seaford Center (Delaware)

"With one child and another on the way, I knew that my family was going to need much more stability than my job as a restaurant server could offer. Thank you to Genesis for taking a risk on me, and for teaching me skills that I need to ensure the safety, happiness, and proper care of my patients. After becoming a CNA, I was promoted to Assistant Activities Director, and am working on a new certification so that one day I can fulfill my goal of being the best Recreation Director possible!"

Wendy Blythe: Staffing Coordinator, Genesis Staffing Services (Maryland)

"Since I was 16 years old, I worked in assisted living and nursing homes helping the elderly. It has always been a passion of mine to help others. I started off as a dishwasher and worked my way to CNA, med tech, resident care manager in Assisted Living, and now, Staffing Coordinator. If you have a passion for something, go for it and never allow anyone to make you feel like you cannot achieve your dreams or goals . Always strive to be your best. There is always someone out there that needs a helping hand."

Loretta Sheren: Certified Nursing Assistant, Lofland Park (Delaware)

"Ten years ago, I began working at Lofland Center in dietary and housekeeping. Becoming a CNA had always been a dream of mine, but I wasn’t sure I could do it. The Lofland team encouraged me to give it a try and I quickly realized I could make a difference in people’s lives. I leave work every day knowing I helped my residents!"

Kathrine Midgette: Certified Nursing Assistant, Salisbury Nursing and Rehabilitation (Maryland)

"I started working as a Unit Assistant at Salisbury Nursing and Rehabilitation Center while taking advantage of their nurse aide training program. I recently graduated with my CNA and passed my license/certification exam. I plan on becoming an RN. Genesis has given me a career path and I am so grateful. Without this program, I would never have been able to start this journey!"
