As a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at our facility, you’ll support nursing staff with essential daily operations and provide direct care that ensures patient well-being. Working under the clinical supervision of the Director of Nursing, your responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with activities of daily living such as bathing, feeding, dressing, and hygiene
• Obtaining and recording vital signs, height, weight, fluid intake, and output
• Supporting ambulation, repositioning, and range of motion activities
• Assisting with wheelchair transfers, stretchers, and patient mobility

• Assisting physicians or nurses during minor procedures and treatments
• Sterilizing instruments and maintaining supply inventory
• Encouraging hydration and elimination as part of daily patient care
