They have held four CNA classes, with a 100% passing rate. These classes are taught by two Registered Nurses (RN) who work at Country View Living (CVL) and have worked for the Castro County Hospital District (CCHD) for many years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Raneta Patton, a RN and Charge Nurse, was an instructor for the CNA course. She has been working with CCHD as a nurse for six years, but also began working with CVL when they opened in March 2019. Patton states that she knows how important and difficult a CNA\u2019s job can be, and she decided to teach these classes to make sure they were all well prepared for the job. She takes a lot of pride in being a part of something that is really making a difference at CCHD.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a nurse, you depend heavily on your CNA\u2019s to assist in resident care,\u201d said Patton. \u201cThey are with the residents more often than anyone else and are the nurses and doctors \u2018eyes and ears\u2019 during their shift.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Patton did not teach alone, Tonya Ethridge, RN, also dedicated her time to teaching the CNA class. Ethridge saw this a great opportunity for her to be able to give something back after her six years in the nursing field. Ethridge worked for CCHD at Plains Memorial Hospital from 2013 to 2017, and returned to work at CVL when it opened, and states, \u201cthat it is an amazing place to work.\u201d She has enjoyed teaching and getting to know the students and watching them grow each day in class.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is amazing at the begging of class to see them unsure of themselves, and then by the end of class see how they have grown and come to love the residents and what they are doing,\u201d said Ethridge.<img class=\"alignright wp-image-3501 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/monsoon.work\/projects\/plainsmemorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0884-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Both women speak of the heart, dedication, and importance of CNA\u2019s. They are the front line of our resident\u2019s care, and nurses cannot do their job without them. \u201cBecause a good CNA doesn\u2019t just have a job, it\u2019s their calling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If becoming a CNA sounds like something you or someone you know would like to do, you can come to the facility and fill out a CNA class application any time or watch our Facebook page (@countryviewtx) for updates on our next class.
