CNAs generally work under the direction of an RN and assist with patient care. For this reason, they are also often known as orderlies or nurses aides. Responsibilities include monitoring vital signs, assisting patients with grooming and feeding, maintaining patient feeding and rehabilitation schedules, and a host of other activities all aimed at increasing the health and comfort of the patient. It is often the case that CNAs begin their careers in this position before moving on, through a combination of higher education and experience, to a position as a registered nurse.
