CNA Jobs in Wisconsin

A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) plays a vital role in the nursing industry as they provide basic care to patients and assist nurses with medical procedures. CNA's tasks include taking patient's vital signs, helping with daily activities such as eating, bathing and walking, cleaning and sanitizing patient areas, and providing emotional support to patients and their families. Additionally, they assist with procedures like wound care and specimen collection. The role is essential to ensuring the smooth operation of healthcare facilities and enhancing patient satisfaction and care.

To become a CNA, an individual must have a high school diploma or GED, complete a state-approved education program, and pass a competency exam. Essential skills for a CNA include strong interpersonal and communication skills, physical stamina, empathy, and attention to detail. Prior to becoming a CNA, an individual may have had roles such as a Home Health Aide, Personal Care Assistant, or Medical Assistant. These roles provide valuable experience and exposure to the healthcare environment and patient care, offering a solid foundation for a career as a CNA.
