High RoadSM to Correctional Health Services RN Skills Development
In 2024, SEIU Local 1000’s research efforts resulted in $4.5 million dollar grant award as part of the High RoadSM Training Partnership program, a workforce development initiative that combines training opportunities, industry-led solutions, and worker voice, among other elements. Funding serves to create skills development programs for RNs working at CCHCS including an RN Residency Program, a Telehealth program, and an Upskills Nursing Simulation Lab Training Program! The Upskills Nursing Simulation Training Lab Program is the first of these to launch, with other programs forthcoming in 2025.
UPSKILLS NURSING SIMULATION LAB TRAINING
SEIU Local 1000, in partnership with CCHCS and Loma Linda University (LLU), is excited to announce this new training opportunity for Registered Nurses (RNs), including Nursing Instructors, to increase your nursing skills and experience. The Upskills Nursing Simulation Lab Training will provide approximately 450 CCHCS RNs with training to advance skills and experience in emergency response situations and other correctional scenarios through in-person training at LLU. Participants will utilize LLU’s state-of-the-art simulation lab to train for the most common emergencies within the correctional facility and opportunities will be provided for participants to discuss and debrief in a safe and controlled environment.
Due to the in-person requirements of this training, space is limited. Application windows will roll out by Region, and currently applications are being accepted for RNs in Region IV with other Regions to follow in 2025.
