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.
