In-House Training Programs Gain Popularity Among SNF Providers
April 22, 2025 - 11:30
Skilled nursing facility (SNF) providers are increasingly adopting in-house training programs as a response to the anticipated rise in formal nurse education. This shift is aimed at addressing the growing demand for qualified nursing staff while ensuring that existing employees receive the necessary training to advance their skills.
In related developments, a new bill has been proposed that would grant nurse candidates access to higher education savings, potentially easing the financial burden associated with pursuing nursing degrees. This initiative is expected to encourage more individuals to enter the nursing profession.
In other news, Mehmet Oz, MD, has been officially sworn in as the new administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), where he will oversee critical healthcare policy decisions.
Additionally, InnovAge is intensifying its advocacy for the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) in light of looming Medicaid cuts and a reorganization within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Lastly, a comprehensive six-year study has revealed a significant decrease in burnout rates among registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs), highlighting the positive impact of supportive workplace environments and effective management practices.
