INTRODUCTION

Becoming a nursing assistant is really a calling to many individuals. It takes a special person and a specific type of personality to be attracted to the nursing assistant profession. You are a huge part of patient care and for many people that can be a draw, though it does have its challenges. You are there to assist your patients with their most basic and fundamental needs, and you are the right hand to the nursing staff at your chosen medical facility. You need to know what it takes to be compassionate, patient, helpful, and discreet as you will help patients with needs that they are used to handling on their own.

To get the call and decide that a profession as a nursing assistant is an excellent first step—and an important one at that! For some, a career as a nursing assistant is a final destination and one in which they center their working life around. However there are many individuals who chose to become a nursing assistant on their road to becoming a registered nurse. Perhaps they are not ready to travel the long road to a role as a registered nurse or they are at a point in their life where they need to start working as they pursue the schooling. Nursing school can not only be a huge financial burden, but also a rather large commitment taking time away from other aspects of the life. Whatever your chosen path is as you enter into the world of the nursing assistant role, know that what you are getting into can be extremely rewarding and at times rather demanding as well.
