What is a Certified Nurse Aide? CNAs are Certified Nurse Aids, also known as Certified Nursing Assistants. CNAs typically work at nursing homes, hospitals, and other medical centers. They have nursing skills such as recording vital signs, recognizing abnormal changes in their patients, assisting a patient with primary activities such as eating and drinking, and helping a patient become more independent. Many CNAs describe their job as very rewarding because they help patients in their daily lives.
