Frequently Asked Questions

How does becoming a Nurse Aide 1 benefit my healthcare career?
Becoming a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA I) is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to build a successful career in healthcare. As a CNA I, you gain valuable hands-on experience working directly with patients, assisting with daily care activities such as bathing, feeding, dressing, and mobility support.
Where can a CNA I work after certification?
Certified Nurse Aides can work in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation centers, home healthcare agencies, and hospices. Some CNAs also find opportunities in specialized care settings, such as dementia care units or pediatric nursing. The variety of work environments allows CNAs to choose a setting that matches their skills and interests.
What personal qualities make a great Nurse Aide?
A successful CNA I should have compassion, patience, strong communication skills, and physical stamina. Since CNAs work closely with patients, they need to be empathetic, detail-oriented, and able to handle challenging situations with professionalism. The ability to work well in a team and follow instructions from nurses and doctors is also essential.
Can a CNA I administer medications or perform medical procedures?
No, a CNA I is not authorized to administer medications or perform invasive medical procedures. Their role focuses on basic patient care, hygiene assistance, vital signs monitoring, and mobility support. However, CNAs who complete additional training, such as a Medication Aide or Nurse Aide 2 program, may be permitted to assist with medication administration under supervision.
What is the difference between a Nurse Aide 1 and a Nurse Aide 2?
A Nurse Aide 1 (CNA I) provides basic patient care, such as assisting with hygiene, mobility, and vital signs. A Nurse Aide 2 (CNA II) undergoes additional training to perform more advanced tasks, including sterile dressing changes, oxygen therapy, and catheter care. CNA II certification expands job opportunities and allows for greater responsibilities under the supervision of a nurse.
