Nursing Education

The Good Shepherd Community is a teaching facility, emphasizing continuing education for our staff.  We participate in many area nursing program's clinical rotations, the Mayo Clinic's geriatric physician rounds, as well as coordinating the area's annual Gerontological conference.

Good Shepherd also houses the following nursing education programs on-site in our Education Center, located in the lower level of the Good Shepherd Apartment building across the hall from the Home Health Care office.

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)

A CNA is a person who is certified to give care to patients/residents, under the direct supervision of a registered or licensed practical nurse.  Nursing Assistants must attend a 75 hour approved program of learning and earn a certificate that allows them to give patient care in a long term care facility; certification is not necessarily required to work in a hospital or for a home health care agency.  The CNA program at Good Shepherd ranges from 3 weeks to 8 weeks in length.  Upon successful completion of the course, the person is then qualified to take the written examination and demonstration skills test at the Technical College.  For more information, please contact the Staff Development Coordinator at (320) 252-6525.
