CNAPA will prepare you for the responsibilities you will assume as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). A CNA is an individual who is responsible and capable of taking care of sick, disabled, and elderly patients. They are a very important part of the healthcare team. They are the primary caregivers of patients in hospitals, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and physician offices. CNA’s are in high demand across South Carolina due to the shortage of healthcare providers. Entry-level positions for CNA mid-level salary between 26,569 – 37,900.
CNAs spend more time with the patients throughout the day helping with any request the patient may have in dressing, bathing, grooming, toiling, hygiene, walking, and eating. They act as the “eyes and ears” of the team by observing and reporting changes in the resident’s condition.
A CNA has a strong knowledge of emergency procedures and be able to stay calm in stressful situations. CNA’s support the resident care plans which allow a patient to get well quickly and reach their optimum level of performance. High-quality job performance as a CNA includes having the physical stamina (physical fitness) to stand for long periods, bending, lifting 40lbs or more, squatting but most importantly being able to be an independent thinker and worker.
CNAs must be able to use creative thinking skills along with critical care thinking skills. CNA’s must work hard while in training to develop time management skills and prioritize resident care until these skills are mastered.
