Course Description
A Certified Nursing Assistant’s (CNA) workload can be intense and fast-paced, but the opportunity to provide direct patient care and make a difference is highly rewarding. Compassion, patience, and a strong desire to help people are critical qualities that allow CNAs to thrive in their roles.
CNAs fulfill basic quality-of-life needs for patients of all ages in nursing care facilities, hospitals, or outpatient clinics. With daily patient interaction, they gather essential health information and report it to supervisors. Their responsibilities span administrative duties, basic clinical procedures, patient transportation, and direct support for nurses and healthcare teams.
Our CNA E-Course provides a complete overview of the vital role of nursing assistants, including patient care, hygiene, safety practices, physical examinations, specimen collection, and measurement of vital signs.
