Congratulations to Jane Coombs, who has successfully completed Mount Desert Island Hospital’s free Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program for employees. Jane, who previously worked in Environmental Services, dedicated herself to the 152-hour program, which included classroom lectures, labs, and clinical training. She has since passed the State of Maine CNA exam, officially earning her certification.
Jane is now applying to CNA positions at MDI Hospital and looks forward to pursuing her career in patient care.
Barbara Jean Bragdon, MDIH Clinical Student Educator who championed the creation of the program said, “Jane gave 100% in the classroom, lab, and throughout her clinicals. Jane’s dedication, compassion, and her hard work reflect the true heart of nursing. Her perseverance and commitment to learn and be registered with the State of Maine as a Certified Nursing Assistant sets the standard for nursing excellence. We are so proud of you!”
Congratulations, Jane, on your achievement, and thank you to all of the staff members who contributed to her education throughout the program. With inspiration, patience, and a willingness to share knowledge, you contributed to an MDIH employee reaching their professional development goals.
