Certified Nursing Assistant Schools - Health Care Career Education

Check out all of the information on this career.

Nursing aides work under the direction of other health care professionals, usually in nursing homes or hospitals. Their duties include taking the blood pressure, temperature, and pulse of patients. They help patients get in and out of bed, take baths, and dress. They also serve meals and perform housekeeping chores like making beds and cleaning rooms. Nursing assistants observe the patients physical, emotional, and mental status and report any changes to the medical or nursing staff.  Nursing assistants that are employed in nursing homes are often the principal caregivers. They often have more contact with residents than other members of the staff.  Since some residents may occupy a nursing home for months or even years, nurses aides often develop ongoing relationships with them and respond to them in a positive and caring manner.
