A CNA or certified nursing assistant is an important position in any
hospital setting. CNAs have many responsibilities that make them an
integral part of the patient process in healthcare. While being a CNA is
often considered an entry-level position, it is a great stepping stone to
other healthcare professions. Being a CNA can help prepare you for
nursing or healthcare management work in many ways, and is a fantastic
place to start your career.

There are many duties for nursing assistants. A certified nursing assistant
helps patients with direct health care needs, often under the supervision
of a nurse. Certified nursing assistants may also be called a nursing
assistant, a nurse’s aid, or a patient care assistant. CNAs work directly with
patients and nurses, helping with the many physical and complex tasks
for patient care.
