The CNA has to care for each and every person the same. My teacher here at job corps has really stressed to us how important it is to care for our patients. One of the job duties I will have to do is take a patient’s vital signs. This means that I have to use a thermometer and take the patient’s temperature, take their blood pressure and pulse rate. It is very important to be accurate on this and I will have to record it in the patient’s chart so that the nurse or doctor can see it and determine if there is a problem with the patient in those areas. Another job duty I will have to do is clean a patient’s room. Other duties that some people think is gross is changing bed pans and cleaning up after a patient vomits or has a bathroom accident. I don’t find this hard to do at all because I want to do whatever I can to make sure my patients are taken care of. There are many more job duties that a CNA does because sometimes a CNA has to do things above and beyond their job duties to ensure the patient is given the best care
