Nursing Assistant

The certified nursing assistant (CNA) is a vital worker in the allied healthcare field. CNAs are healthcare workers who deliver basic nursing care to patients, residents and clients. Essentially, the CNA is supervised by licensed nurses as they assist patients with daily care tasks such as getting dressed, bathing, showering, meal service, toileting, measuring vital signs, and reporting changes in condition.

The CNA is the fundamental backbone of the direct care staff team at almost any hospital, healthcare center or skilled nursing facility.  Nursing assistants, also known as nurses' aides and patient care assistants, provide direct patient care at the bedside.
