Nursing Assistants provide direct care to patients in need
Nursing Assistants work primarily in hospitals, nursing homes and residential care centers to help assist ill, injured and disabled people. They are responsible for key tasks like taking vital signs and assisting patients with daily activities. Nursing Assistants are often the primary caregiver and can develop strong, caring bonds with their patients.
