Overview

Nurses aides, also known as nursing assistants or orderlies, provide patient care in hospitals, nursing homes, and residential care facilities. They are responsible for assisting with patients’ daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, and eating, as well as providing emotional support. Nurses aides also keep track of vital signs, help with mobility, monitor patient health, and help with wound care. They play an important role in providing quality health care, as they are the direct care providers who are in contact with patients on a daily basis. Furthermore, they are instrumental in maintaining the safety and comfort of patients, creating an environment of trust and security.
