CNA Jobs in Alaska

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.
