Certified Nursing Assistants (C.N.A.) provide a variety of selected routine nursing care tasks under the direct supervision of the nurses responsible for providing direct resident care. Responsibilities include assisting in the examination, treatment, and care of residents; provide privacy and assistance as appropriate in maintaining the resident's dignity.
