Nurses rely on nursing assistants to provide basic medical care and assistance in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, physician’s offices and in-home care settings. Nursing assistants are responsible for providing assistance to patients with their daily living needs such as bathing, dressing and eating. They also monitor patients’ vital signs and report changes to the nurse or physician who supervises them. As a nursing assistant you will have an opportunity to work with other healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses and physical therapists while helping people recover from illness or injury by providing basic medical care services such as monitoring blood pressure or administering medications.
