Certified nursing assistants go by a variety of names depending on where they work and the state in which they are registered. Some of the different names include NA, or Nurse Aide, RNA, or registered nurse aide, GNA, or geriatric nurse aide, STNA, or state tested nurse aide, and LNA, or licensed nursing assistant.
No matter what the title is, a certified nursing assistant provides hands-on care to patients of all ages who are unable to care completely for themselves. This individual can work in a variety of healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, skilled nursing units, hospice agencies, Alzheimer’s units and rehabilitation facilities, where they will report directly to a licensed nurse. Certified nursing assistants provide important care, such as taking vital signs, providing bed baths, dressing and feeding patients, helping patients walk, transporting patients and even charting in some facilities. Work duties depend on the facility’s policies and on the exact certification that the individual holds. However, certified nursing assistants typically work as the eyes and ears of the supervising nurse by reporting patient findings back to the nurse.
The role of certified nursing assistant is rapidly growing at a rate faster than most other occupations. In fact, nursing assistant jobs are projected to increase by 17 percent between 2012 and 2022, ensuring that new nursing assistants will not struggle to find a job in most areas. Currently, the United States boasts 1.5 million nursing assistant jobs with the average certified nursing assistant making just over $25,000 per year
