Certified nursing assistants provide direct patient care; transfer and transport patients, equipment and specimens; take temperature, pulse and blood pressure; and perform other procedures as directed by a nurse.

Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN)

Registered nurses observe, assess, evaluate and document symptoms, reactions and progress and make patient-care decisions; assist physicians during treatments and examinations; and administer medications and treatments.
