What is a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)?
A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) is an Essential Member of the Medical Community, Working Directly with Patients and Nurses, Providing Both Basic and Complex Care.
CNAs will Assist Residents with Activities of Daily Living, such as Toileting, Bathing, Dressing, and Feeding, while Also Playing a Role in the Prevention of Pneumonia, Wounds, and Infections.
As a CNA, you may also assist in the Process of Rehabilitation after Surgery, Illness, or Acute Events such as Major Trauma or Stroke.
Our Experienced Indiana Nurses will Provide In-Depth CNA Training to Help You Succeed as a Knowledgeable CNA while Remaining within the “CNA Scope of Practice”.
