Position Summary of the CNA-2 Lab/Clinical Instructor part time/evenings:

The Clinical Instructor teaches the clinicals to a cohort of up to 10 students. During the clinical rotation your students will shadow staff CNAs, learn the role of the CNA, and practice their skills on the residents of the nursing facility where their clinical is located. We have several buildings around Portland, Gresham, Beaverton, and the surrounding areas that we teach in.

The clinical coordinator will prepare all paperwork, set the roster up, schedule the clinical at the facility, and clear all students for the clinical rotation. All students must pass the final exam and pass the lab rotation before entering the clinical. They also must have a current AHA BLS CPR card, a negative TB test, and a drug screening done prior to the clinical. The office staff will handle all of this for you.

At the clinical you will take attendance, hold a pre-clinical and post-clinical conference with all students (these last about 10-20 minutes long to assign students, go over the skills focus for the day, and de-brief them after the clinical is done for the day). You will be on the floor with the students, checking in on them often, demonstrating skills to them, making sure they are following infection prevention procedures, safety, confidentiality, and the many other aspects of giving quality care.

Training for this position is thorough. You will attend a full lab rotation to learn the skill steps, you will shadow another clinical instructor, and you will meet with the program director before you begin the training, during the training, and afterwards to discuss how your training is going. We want our instructors to be the best they can be so our training will take about 2-3 weeks.

We do not schedule classes or clinicals on holidays, holiday weekends, and at times the day before and after a specific holiday day. As an example, the day before and the day after Thanksgiving is not generally a scheduled day to teach. We do offer our classes back-to-back for most of the year; we do not run on a trimester or semester basis.
