Who Are Nurse Assistants?
Nurse assistants are nurses who work under the guidance of registered nurses or licensed practical nurses. The nurse assistants are not yet qualified to perform tasks at their own discretion, but their jobs are more of a training process. Indeed, most of the nurse assistants are actually students of the nursing profession, who might undertake some nursing duties at a healthcare unit to hone their talents and to get some practical knowledge. Most of the nurse assistant jobs are to monitor and look after the patients of the healthcare units under the guidance of the senior nurses.
