Pathways program to nursing career

Catholic Charities NH created a “Pathways” program, offering unique career development and advancement opportunities for New Hampshire residents seeking a rewarding career in the healthcare field. The Pathways program consists of several opportunities:

■For entry-level candidates/unit aides seeking a Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA) license, Catholic Charities NH will provide full financial assistance to pursue an LNA Certificate program. 

■For Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs), Catholic Charities NH offers select full-tuition scholarship opportunities to attend a full-time Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) degree program at Harmony Health Care Institute in Merrimack.

■For LPNs, Catholic Charities NH offers select scholarship opportunities for Registered Nurse (RN) degrees.

While participating in these various development opportunities, healthcare professionals will also gain hands-on experience. Employees earn competitive pay and benefits. The program is available to full-time and part-time employees at all seven Catholic Charities NH skilled nursing facilities. For more information and to apply, visit cc-nh.org/pathways.

NewburyPruning workshop
