Hire and Retain the Best CNAs

<p>During her research into health disparities at John Hopkins, Athena witnessed the difficulties that aspiring healthcare workers who were underprivileged and financially insecure had in starting their career. </p><p>Single parents who were already working paycheck to paycheck could not afford to put themself through a CNA training program. </p><p>There is also the issue of overcomplication and outdatedness present in CNA training school sign-ups. Websites are hard to reach or do not even exist. Application documents are difficult to fill out and obtain. </p><p>Many of the people coming up against these problems are truly passionate about helping others and often already have experience and understanding of what they will face. </p><p>On the other side of the equation, facilities search high and low for CNAs to hire on.</p><p>In the post pandemic world, many CNAs have turned to other careers and it is often a struggle to find qualified CNAs who will stay on for more than a few weeks. </p><p>Athena’s company Dreambound addresses both of these problems simultaneously. </p><p>Dreambound works with 150 schools and training programs in multiple states. If there’s a school that’s currently not on the platform all they have to do is sign up on the website and start getting students.</p><p>Instead of a complicated application process, prospective students have only to fill out one universal application which will be directed to any of the schools on the platform. </p><p>For facilities, Dreambound provides a system by which they can choose students to sponsor who will come and work for them afterwards. </p><p>Athena also states that many schools are looking for clinical sites for their training. By taking this position, a facility will attract a lot more graduating CNAs who will have already trained there and decide to stay on out of the closeness and convenience.</p><p> </p><p><strong>FOLLOW ATHENA AND DREAMBOUND</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://dreambound.com/" target="_blank">Website</a></li><li><a href="https://w
