Can anyone explain the difference to me...? |
I'm looking into some career options, I was wondering if anyone knows the differences between a Healthcare Assistant and a Nurse Assistant. For whoever answers, thank you so much! this is for a health care assistant This is technical work performing routine patient care activities in a medical or institutional setting. Work involves participating in day-to-day patient care activities such as transporting and positioning patient for routine medical tests; assisting patient in hygiene activities; administering simple therapeutic treatments and procedures; monitoring telemetry equipment; sterilizing hospital and operating facilities, equipment and surgical instruments; and stocking supply inventories. this is for a nursing assistant The nurse assistant must not only be very skilled in the actual procedures being performed but must also be able to make quick observations of a patient's condition and report that information back to the nurse. Due to time constraints, nurses often do not spend large amounts of time in the room with individual patients, the nursing assistant is known as the nurse's "eyes and ears". A nurse assistant must also have a strong grasp of emergency procedures and be able to stay calm in stressful situations. They must be able to initiate a Code Blue and be certified in CPR. |
