Certified Nursing Assistants play a key role in the lives of their patients, assisting them with daily tasks and acting as a liaison between the patient and the nurse. Nursing assistants are often the principal caregivers in long-term residential facilities, rehabilitation centers or adult daycare centers. A CNA is often a steppingstone to a career as an LPN or RN.
