What is a CNA?

A CNA is a certified nursing assistant.  Certified nursing assistance assists in helping nurses care for residents and patients in skilled nursing, long-term care, within hospitals, and in the home with home health.  Certified nursing assistance provides dignified, competent care to these residents.  Being a CNA is the most rewarding career you can have as you get to help people, bond with them, and bring your caring hands into the lives of those who need it.
