Nursing Assisting
WHY BECOME A NURSING ASSISTANT?
Nursing Assistants provide an invaluable service and play an important role in caring for elderly and disabled patients. In the growing field of health care, the ability to provide compassionate, responsible care to incapacitated people is a needed skill. Nursing Assistants find employment in nursing homes, hospitals, and rehabilitation facilities, or as home health aides. Nursing Assistants work directly with patients under the supervision of Registered Nurses or Licensed Practical Nurses. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for nursing assistants will grow faster than the average. https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/nursing-assistants.htm
