Often seen as a primary care giver...

...in nursing care and in patient facilities, the Certified Nurse Aide may have more contact, than other health care professionals, with residents in these houses of convalescence. As some of the resident patients are here for an extended stay, usually a few months to several years, the nurse aide becomes a trusted care giver and companion to the patient. Family members of the residents may look to the nurse aide for updates on the patient's condition should there be no other provider available at a particular time or during a visit.

With such an in depth knowledge of the needs of the patients they serve, and an ongoing relationship that is based on positive and interactive care, the nurse aide may sometimes be assigned to: change non-sterile dressings, assist with artificial limbs or braces, or help patient breathe easier with the use of a ventilator.

The Certified Nurse Aide training at Manhattan Institute will give you the skills you need to be successful in your career choice will learning to help others. For more information, please feel free to call 212-564-1234, someone is available 7 days a week to answer your questions.

The Conscientious Nurse Aide...

...will first consider completing their professional training at Manhattan Institute. The course of study includes: gathering and documenting patient's body temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate; observation of the physical, mental and emotional well being of the patient; arrangement of medical equipment or assisting supervisory staff with various medical procedures.

On occasion, a nurse's aide may be assigned to a particular patient for an extended period of time, especially if the needs of the patient require special care. This is an opportunity for the nurse's aide to demonstrate a caring trust with the patient and possibly family members of the patient who may also be present. Nurse's aides can also be responsible for escorting patients to and from exam or operating rooms, providing comfortable surroundings, and making sure the health care supervisor is aware of any changes in the patient's health or condition.

At Manhattan Institute, you can become a certified nurse aide in just six weeks...classes are forming NOW!! For more info, please call 212-564-1234
