Hospital care assistants
Nurse aides are workers who assist nurses by performing basic patient care tasks—bathing, feeding, taking vital signs, helping patients move.
They work in hospitals, nursing homes, and home health settings.
The role requires less training than nursing and is often called certified nursing assistant (CNA) when credentialed: She worked as a nurse aide while studying for her nursing degree.
