Why become a CNA?
A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) is one of the most important and rewarding positions on a health care team. CNAs provide very personal, hands-on healthcare to patients or residents in medical settings helping with bathing, dressing, feeding, taking vital signs, and assisting with the basic activities of daily living. While CNAs can be found in hospitals, the majority of CNAs work in nursing and residential care facilities, where they have the opportunity to interact with residents on a regular basis and get to know them personally. While it can be a physically demanding job at times, it comes with a great deal of job satisfaction in knowing that you truly made a difference in someone’s life.
