Occupation
Nursing Assistant
A nursing assistant, often called a CNA, delivers hands-on basic care to patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation facilities under the supervision of registered nurses. Core duties include patient care tasks like bathing and feeding, vital signs monitoring, and rigorous infection control practices, along with logging observations in electronic health records (EHR). Certification requires completing a state-approved training program and passing a competency exam, and CPR/BLS certification is standard, making this a common entry-level role into the healthcare field.
