Certified nursing assistants (CNAs) are responsible for the more ordinary and basic care of patients. All that is required is the physical and emotional ability to care for sick people.
Being a Nursing Assistant is a physically strenuous job that demands organizational skills and a friendly, caring bedside manner. A lot of information on becoming a CNA and accredited cna schools that provided cna programs can be found elsewhere on this website. To become a Certified Nursing Assistant, one must have 100 hours of clinical practice and 50 hours of classroom instruction. Certified Nursing Assistants must also complete 48 hours of in-service cna training or college courses every two years to renew their license.
