Cakes asked:


I mean are the differences in their duty in a medical setting? Beside one assisting a nurse and the other doctor or physician. With 6 months or less of training for both, what are their duties?

The primary duties of a Certified Nursing Assistant may vary according to the kind of care facility you are working for. It can be a nursing home, hospital, elder care facility or sometimes even a patient’s own home. Thus duties of a Nursing Assistant will also depend basically on the employer and place of work
