Certified Nurse Assistant

Your job is more than a job. Find your fire and be a part of something that appreciates and nurtures "you being you". Isn't that what every selfless caregiver, like you, deserves? It's not a cakewalk being a Certified Nurse Assistant and at the end of your shift you feel the physical and emotional pangs of your caregiving. But it's your calling, and you wouldn't trade it for the world.

Your patients and families trust that you will be responsive, gentle and kind. It takes a special professional like you who has empathy for that feeling of helplessness when your patients can't bathe, put on clean clothes, or eat without assistance. But you've got that special radar that can't help but run towards those in need because you know there is no training for compassion or giving that little something "extra". We love that about you.

Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and your "little something extra" all add up to you. We love that about you. And we're excited to get to know you and find out what you'll bring to this hands-on, supportive nursing role. Your everyday includes:

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary team members to ensure appropriate direct patient care and implementation and documentation of care plan progress.
• Maintain and advocate a safe environment for everyone, report to appropriate care team members, and initiate corrective actions.
• Monitor and engage with your patients, families, and appropriate care team members concerning significant events, patient condition changes, or patient questions and concerns.
• Conduct rounds, answer call lights and ensure adequate assistance with meals, personal and oral hygiene needs.
• Participate in the implementation of the plan of care.
• Identify problems, concerns, changes in condition and report them immediately to appropriate care team personnel.
• Work with nursing staff, physicians, families, consultant personnel and ancillary service providers as directed by nursing supervisor.
• Ensure continuity of care, consistent communication, and an exceptional experience for every patient.
• Follow established performance standards and duties according to policies and procedures and advise and consult with supervisor when unable to complete assignments or perform tasks promptly, effectively, or safely.
• Initiate patient and family education using appropriate resources and continuum of care services.
• Contribute to the team by assisting others without being asked.

The Must-Haves Minimum:

• High School Diploma, GED or equivalent.
• Louisiana Department of Public Health Certified Nurse Assistant license.
• American Heart Association BLS certification.
