Career Advancement:
Your story has many more chapters in store

Between our comprehensive onboarding, educational development opportunities, and supportive leadership, career advancement is a priority within our teams.

The leaders shaping our futures often started as nurses or community support aides, making use of our resources to push their stories forward. See how our support can transform your story into a long-lasting legacy.

Supporting your education

Nursing degrees often require balancing study time, work schedules, and, perhaps most importantly, finances. That’s why we offer competitive educational benefits to help nurses, or nurses-to-be, throughout their stories.

These benefits include:

  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Tuition discounts
  • Student loan forgiveness
  • Free classes for nursing certification (CNA/STNA)

Academic connections

We also partner with participating schools to provide programs that include:

The Kristine Halsey Career Advancement Program

Includes education tuition reimbursement and/or student loan forgiveness for participating staff members. Eligible for up to $3,500 per year.

School Discounts Program

Staff members attending participating schools can receive discounts during their studies. These discounts can be combined with our tuition reimbursement benefits.

Taking Time to Relax

In a demanding industry like home healthcare, career growth calls for time to recharge. Our work/life balance benefits include paid time off in your first year of employment along with paid holidays.

Our team members also enjoy flexibility in their schedules and, if needed, paid bereavement days. By focusing on your well-being, we can help you accomplish the best for your residents and your story with us.

Our Success Stories

When we commit to our people, the results speak for themselves. Hear from some of our current caregivers and leaders on how our initiatives helped them excel in their career story.

"From starting as an intern to being encouraged to help start fall preventative programming to better the care for our residents, to ultimately encouraging my leadership skills by becoming an administrator, Ciena as a whole has most definitely supported my career development."

- Ciena Administrator in Training

"Ciena continues to strive to improve its programs. Not only to invest in communities, but also its employees. The many programs we have to go back to school and further our education make me feel valued and supported."

- Ciena RN, Director of Nursing

"I’ve used the career ladder program twice. It’s so beneficial. I recommend anybody, if you want to go back to school, further your education, just anything at all – utilize the program if you are able."

- Ciena Activities Director

"At the end of the day, I always feel like I've accomplished something. I've always made someone's day better, made someone smile. I feel fulfilled knowing that."
