Nursing assistants are also referred to as nurse aides. Working closely with medical patients, they are responsible for basic care services such as bathing, grooming and feeding, checking vital signs and assisting nurses with medical equipment. CNAs give patients important social and emotional support and also provide crucial information to others on the patient care team.
