A Day in the Life of a CNA

CNAs support patient care in a variety of ways, depending on the setting. A few examples of how CNAs spend their workday include:

• Assisting with bathing, dressing and grooming tasks such as hair care, brushing teeth and shaving.
• Helping residents at mealtimes, including transporting them to the dining room and assisting them with eating and drinking.
• Repositioning and transferring residents from a bed to a wheelchair or from a wheelchair to the toilet.
• Obtaining resident vital signs, such as heart rate and blood pressure, and recording observations.
• Answering patient call lights and assisting in fulfilling requests.
• Building meaningful relationships with our residents, providing not only care but companionship. 

To help you decide if this career path at ASC might be for you, here’s a quick look at what’s involved.

Training for a Career as a Certified Nurse Aide

Training occurs over a 2 week period including 30 hours of classroom work and 45 hours of hands on clinical training. You will work with and be supported by ASC instructors, nurses and CNAs who have taken the same path. 

After completion of the CNA program and testing, additional pathways and opportunities are available to those who want to advance their career in nursing. Our Talent Acquisition Partners will assist you in applying for a position at one of our many Indiana-based communities. American Senior Communities also provides additional pathways and opportunities to those who want to advance their career in nursing including tuition and certification reimbursement, college and university partnerships, paid training and career development.

The American Health Care Association recently recognized ASC as the 12th largest provider, yet #2 in quality among the nation’s 20 largest skilled nursing care companies. What that means for our team members is the opportunity to work in a company supported by strong clinical standards, proven processes, and a company committed to excellence. It’s something we’re incredibly proud of, and it reflects the kind of organization you can build a career with.
