Certified nursing assistants provide basic healthcare and assistance for patients in hospitals or long-term healthcare facilities such as nursing homes. They provide assistance to LPNs and RNs and can work under their supervision.

Some of the job duties that CNAs perform include the following:

Assist patients with activities of daily living such as bathing, getting dressed, or toileting
Take vital signs such as blood pressure or temperature
Turn or rotate patients who are bedridden
Record patient’s health concerns and report all information to supervising nurses or doctors
Serve meals and assist patients with feeding if needed
Assist LPNs and RNs with their tasks

CNAs who work in assisted living facilities or nursing homes are usually the primary care providers for their patients. These nurses often have more contact with patients than other members of the staff, and therefore develop a close relationship with them.
