Nursing aides, also known as nursing assistants, assist patients with tasks such as feeding, dressing and bathing while also supporting nurses and doctors with the treatments and medical procedures patients need. Certified nursing assistants can also help with patient instruction, patient charts, documentation and other support services.
Nursing assistants are an essential part of the care team at clinics, hospitals, nursing homes and other environments where patients need care. For this reason, nursing aides require ongoing nursing assistant training for certification and for professional development.
If you're in this field, Lorman Education Services offers flexible and customizable online nursing assistant training that allows you to study at any time. We offer training in a variety of formats to allow you to customize your training experience to your needs.
