A CNA's™ job can be busy and fast-paced, but the chance to interact with people and help those in medical need is a big motivator. Having a desire to help and compassion for patients can help a nursing assistant get through tough days. Nursing assistants help patients with basic needs like bathing and eating in nursing homes or clinics. Since they spend a lot of time with patients, they gather important information about their health to share with supervisors. Certified nursing assistants (CNAs)™ have various tasks in healthcare, including paperwork, basic medical procedures, moving patients, and assisting nurses. It can be physically demanding, requiring standing for long hours and sometimes lifting or moving patients. Our E-course gives you an overview of the important role of nursing professionals in supporting patients and doctors. It covers procedures like physical exams, specimen collection, and measuring vital signs.
