CNA Overview
A Nursing Assistant assists in providing basic care to persons under the supervision of an LPN or RN. Nursing Assistants can work in hospitals, ambulatory care, or long-term care facilities and are responsible for general nursing care duties, which include taking vitals, feeding, bathing, dressing, walking, etc. How does a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) differ from a Nursing Assistant? A CNA completes a state approved training program and successfully passing a competency exam that tests knowledge and practical skills.
Education Required
While Nursing Assistants receive training that may be competed on the job, a CNA must have a high school diploma or high school equivalency (GED) and complete a state-approved training program. These educational programs generally consists of a minimum of 75 to 120 hours of training depending on the state and can take place in high schools, colleges, nursing/medical facilities, or online.
