About
Working under the direct supervision of a licensed nurse, a nurse aide provides quality nursing care to patients, residents, clients, and customers of all ages in a variety of settings, including private homes, assisted living, hospice, hospitals and community-based long-term care facilities. As an integral part of the healthcare team, the nurse aide performs a variety of functions including, but not limited to: bedside care, vital signs assessment, feeding residents and recording their food and liquid intake, helping with medical procedures, and assisting residents to maintain as much independence as possible. Nurse aides must be respectful and compassionate and enjoy helping others as they interact with residents regularly, get to know them personally and build strong relationships with them and their families.
