What Does a Certified Nursing Assistant Do?

A certified nursing assistant helps patients in a variety of ways, such as with activities of daily living (ADLs) and other basic health care needs. CNAs typically work with the patient’s healthcare team, including physicians, nurses, and other certified nursing assistants. Indeed, this is necessary to provide the best care and support for every patient. Since every job is different, the specific types of jobs will vary based on the patient population and where someone works. For CNAs that work in a nursing home or long term residence, they will likely work with patients that are recovering from an injury or surgery or living with an illness or disability.
