Take the Next Step
- A Career In Nursing!
The time to act is now
There has never been a more critical time for Haven
as an organization to look deep within the company and draw on our
greatest resources - our staff. The nursing home profession is facing
a serious crisis in nursing recruitment and retention and it is
up to us to face the challenge and meet the needs of our organization.
The Career Advancement
Program is a proactive response to solving the nursing shortage.
We have determined that the greatest potential for resolving this
shortage lies within our own employees and especially our Certified
Nurses Aide. This team of employees has communicated a strong desire
to pursue a career in the nursing profession; they desire to remain
caring for our residents while advancing their careers and their
own personal quality of life.
It is the goal of the Career
Advancement Program to extend to our own employees an opportunity
to become a Licensed Practical Nurse and eventually a Registered
Nurse by offering Haven scholarships to select employees.
Selection Process
Through a formal application process, employees
who are eligible for participation will receive a fully paid scholarship
to an accredited nursing school approved by Haven. The Career Advancement
Selection Committee will review each candidate’s application.
Upon successful review, chosen applicants will
receive a formal interview with the Selection Committee at which
time they will have the opportunity to promote their desire and
suitability to be accepted into the program. Acceptance into the
program will be based on specific criteria addressed in the application
process and a successful interview with the selection committee.
Available slots will be limited, so acceptance will be competitive.
Eligibility Requirements
- High School Diploma or GED
- Certified Nurses Aide or direct patient care experience
- One year employment with Haven Healthcare
- Satisfactory work performance
