Aide @ Beaumont in MI

Published

Do nursing aides/assistants need to be certified to work at Beaumont? Or do they train you?

And also, do you need to be a CNA to be a Nurse Tech?

I was an aide at Beaumont for 3 years and no you don't need to be certified. They train you. You need to be in nursing school to be a nurse tech and you have to have had completed your first med/surg rotation in school before being a tech.

You're welcome. Did you get hired? Or thinking about applying? My favorite part about working there was going to those mandatory meetings about how to make the doctors happy. I learned a lot there though.

Michigan_RN - my friend got into Beaumont as a Nurse Tech through her sister (I believe). She is still doing pre-reqs for nursing school, so she hasn't started it yet, but she does have a previous bachelors in education.

She's on South 9, and works full time.

I was trying to get into Beaumont being a Nurse Tech, but I haven't started nursing school either and I haven't heard anything back about my app :(

I don't think they hire nurse techs unless you've been in nursing school because nurse techs go through an orientation and are precepted by an RN so I highly doubt she is a tech. Perhaps an aide but not a tech. You would need to have finished med/surg in nursing school first before being able to tech.

You might be right, but she told me she got trained through Beaumont, and when I asked her if it was the same thing as a CNA, she said it wasn't. She also told me how much she made last year and it was definitely higher than the CNA range - so I'm really not sure..

I don't know, it could have changed.

All I know is, after working there for 5 years, I was done with that place. I went to Henry Ford and love it.

Is it really hard to get hired at Beaumont? I go on the website and they usually do not have any CNA jobs listed.

It's all about connections sometimes.
