Job Description

A Nursing Assistant, or a Nursing Aide, provides healthcare and support to patients in a medical facility. Their main duties include offering basic physical assistance to patients, feeding patients according to their dietary needs and recording vital signs.

A Nursing Assistant has several duties and responsibilities that they learn through studies and experience. Since their job is to provide basic care for daily living of patients, their work consists of the following:

Help patients use the bathroom
Clean and bathe patients or residents
Maintain patients' hygiene and change bedding
Turn, reposition and move patients between wheelchairs, seats and beds
Serve meals and help patients eat their food
Measure vital signs like blood pressure and temperature
Listen to patients regarding any health concerns they might have and report details to a Registered Nurse or Doctor.

Nursing Assistant skills and qualifications:

There are certain skills and qualifications that are important to be a Nursing Assistant, including:

Excellent attention to detail
Great written and verbal communication
Ability to carefully read and follow directions
Flexibility in work duties and schedule
Good teamwork skills
Ability to lift and move patients
Good foundation of clinical skills and knowledge

Nursing Assistant education and training requirements-

Nursing Assistants need to complete an accredited training program and pass a state-issued exam. In order to qualify for a training program, they need a high school diploma or GED. Programs can take one to four months to complete and involve classroom instruction and practical experience. Certified Nursing Assistants should be listed on the CNA registry.

Nursing Assistant experience requirements-

Since being a Nursing Assistant is usually an entry-level job, little to no prior experience is required. Graduates from certified nursing programs complete in-person training, so they have some experience. Some employers may prefer Nursing Assistants with at least one year of experience, especially if they need to work with special types of patients who need extra care. In most cases, Nursing Assistants receive on-the-job training from Licensed Practical Nurses and Registered Nurses until they feel comfortable enough to perform their responsibilities with little supervision.

Philip Health Services provides complete training and orientation for Nursing Assistants to become Certified (CNA) in the state of South Dakota. Full-time shifts run 6am-2pm, 2pm-10pm, and 10pm-6am. Some 12-hour shifts available. Weekends and holidays will be required. You will get to know each one of your RN and CNA colleagues and form deep, mutually respectful working relationships with the team. Philip Health Services offers a pay scale above the state average, generous differentials for nights and weekends, and incentive opportunities for tuition and student loan payment.
