Certified Nursing Assistants

The trade that I choose is Certified Nursing Assistant. I choose that trade because that’s a step to enter the career that I want. I want to be a Register Nurse at Radys Children Hospital or at Sharp. I like helping people and especially kids, I think kids are the best and especially when you have problems or something else and you see them smile at you that feels great. I know that when I receive my certification as a certified nursing assistant I know that that’s going to change my life because I would be getting their where I want to be. I am taking my course as a certified nursing assistant here at Job Corps San Diego. I choose this school because they are many opportunities that they offer here for you. I went to look for this program at other schools and I see that they don’t offer you as much as they do here so that’s why I also choose to star my career here. Also this school was recommend by a lot of friends that they graduated from here and that they are now working.

The role of the Certified Nursing Assistant is defined as being the support system by helping patients in personal hygiene and daily living needs. Certified Nursing Assistants aid in providing comfort, vital sign monitoring and assist in any needed transportation (Monster, 2016). Certified Nursing Assistants in skilled nursing facilities help the patient to get prepared for the day and provide most of the direct care in regards to daily activities and hygiene.

A day in the life as a CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) can have its ups and its downs. As a CNA you can work in a couple different areas of the nursing field, you have options of where you want to be and you are not finite to any certain place. Most CNA’s start out working in a nursing home then exude to other places such as hospitals. As a nurse aide you have many options of being in a certain field of nursing. That is what I love about nursing; it is versatile and you can work wherever you want in the country. You can travel and see places you haven’t seen while doing what you love to do as a career.

The nature of the work is very similar for the C.N.A. and L.P.N. A C.N.A. work includes performing routine tasks under the supervision of nursing staff. They answer call bells, deliver messages, serve meals, make beds, and help patients eat, dress, and bathe. Aides also provide skin care to patients, take pulse, temperature, respiration, and blood

When working with another Nursing Assistant there seems to be an immediate understanding of what is required. Although the routine my differ from ward to ward, the tasks largely remain the same and are performed with relative fluidity.

In response to a recent job opening, I am writing to apply for the Certified Nursing Assistant position at Arbrook Plaza. After reading the job description on Arbrook Plaza’s website, I am confident that I meet these requirements. Therefore, becoming a part of the CNA team means believing in helping others who cannot help themselves or need further assistance.

Certified Nursing Assistant Duties and Responsibilities Certified Nursing Assistant(CNA), commonly referred to as Patient Care Assistant or Nurse Assistant, are important healthcare professionals in the nursing industry. They are well trained health workers who serve as the eyes and ears of the nursing staff and also act as a coordinator between patients and doctors. Under the direct supervision of registered or licensed practical nurses, they provide high quality care to patients. They work in variety of healthcare settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, home healthcare, adult day cares, rehab centers, urgent care clinics and doctors' offices. They are required to work for irregular hours, be prepared to handle crucial responsibilities

Among older adults aged 65 years and older are found to have difficulty in reading and to comprehend discharge instructions. This has been found to be a concern regarding continuing care and re-admission concerns throughout urban and rural hospitals. Does the integration of Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) guiding discharge education, along with a follow-up contact with the patient after discharge effect compliance and readmission rates, more than not having an APN guiding discharge teaching to help decrease readmission rates?

Service personnel experience a tremendous number of traumatic experiences while in service. These traumatic experiences include situations such as different forms of explosion, gun battles, vehicle crashes, helicopter crashes, intense fear, seeing fellow service members dying as well as a feeling of helplessness (CITE). These are situations that an average American can simply not fathom. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) who work with service personnel typically do understand these traumatic experiences. In this article, Wilson and Pokorny conducted a study to understand the experiences CRNAs have with service personnel who have traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and are emerging from general anesthesia with emergence delirium (ED) (CITE). There are no studies in literature that contain information on patients with these specific problems, which makes this study important. Wilson and Pokorny hope other researchers will get involved to help learn more about this subject and get the service personnel and CRNAs the advanced medical help they need.

I have long heard about how CRNA’s make a lot of money and that I should look into obtaining the education for this career. It wasn’t until now that I realized what a great profession this would be. I may not be able to complete what is required for this career, but maybe I can tell my fellow nursing students what an awesome career this could be.

Have you ever looked at one of your grandparents? I mean really, really looked at them. I 'm not talking about looking at the wrinkles lining their faces, the silver and white covering their hair, or their beaten and battered bodies that make it hard for them to live. I 'm talking about that look in Grandma 's eyes when, together, you look at pictures of her children when they were younger. I 'm talking about the way Grandpa, unconsciously, sits up straighter or stands a little taller when you ask him about his time serving his country. You may see a sweet, loving, elderly couple when you see them, but when they look in the mirror, you can bet they still see the young, vibrant, courageous kids they once were.

Since we are on the same unit for clinical I’m glad to see that you had similar thoughts to my discussion post this week. Since the Labor and Delivery floor doesn’t have CNAs the nurses are required to complete more tasks in the long run. Honestly the unit usually has such a low census and that is why I believe they don’t use CNAs. The nurses that I have shadowed on the floor have been with Providence for quite awhile and sometimes it seems like they could complete tasks with their eyes closed. Compared to the Matthews (2005) articles our nurses seem to finish their assigned duties in a flash. They really do make things look easy. For example, I had never swaddled a baby before and a nurse showed me in about 2 seconds flat. When I tried it

The foundation of nursing was based off of giving aid to the sick and injured mainly in an Impoverished portion of a community. May different facets of nursing were created from this and nursing aid was in homes, schools and a specific public building. As years past nursing evolved into a more educational role along with giving aid to the sick and or injured. Education such as how to prevent the spread of illness and disease by washing your hands. The advancement in technology is so vast now that there are many ways to now know disease prevention including in todays impoverished areas. The challenge for nurses is to get this information to all of the public.
