A Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) is an allied healthcare worker who provides direct care under the supervision of a licensed nurse. They perform various tasks, including personal care, wound dressings, taking vital signs, feeding patients, and helping them move in and out of bed or other positions for patients who cannot get up on their own. CNAs need to have compassion for the sick and elderly and trust their own instincts when making decisions. This is because they don’t have a lot of authority – they are not responsible for medical diagnoses or treatments. However, they usually observe patients every day and note changes that would lead them to question their overall well-being.
