Nursing personnel who assists and support the unwell and ailing patients under the supervision of the registered nurses in the hospitals or any other medical care facility are known as duties of a cna.

The work of a CNA or Certified Nursing Assistant is very difficult and challenging. However, if one needs to work professionally as a nursing assistant, then they have to enroll for the state approved cna exam offered by vocational schools and colleges. These schools are available in thirty six states of United States of America. Through out the training, the students are trained in numerous nursing and clinical skills. They are as follows:

  • Restorative skills.
  • Interpersonal and communicative skills.
  • Nutrition and infection control.
  • Medical vocabulary and terminology.
  • Human anatomy.
  • Checking the vital signs of the patients, such as temperature, pulse, blood pressure, urinal output and breathing.

The above classes are divided into theoretical classroom instructions and hands on practical training in any local nursing home or clinic. As soon as the classroom trainings are winded up, it is essential for all the nursing students to clear the CNA written and practical tests, which will lead to the acquisition of the CNA Duties.
