Nursing Assistant – A Great Career Opportunity
NAs or Nursing Assistants play a vital role in the field of health care. They work directly with the Physicians, Practical Nurses, or Registered Nurses. NAs are also referred to as direct care staff members, orderlies, care partners, nurse aides, patient care technicians, and patient care assistants.
The main role of an NA is to assist with the patient’s daily activities and monitor their routine care. In certain facilities, NAs are allowed to perform direct care procedures, such as checking for vital signs, repositioning and turning patients, finger stick blood sugar testing, grooming, dressing, feeding, and so on.
