Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs)

Here’s a closer look at how we ensure you get the most qualified Registered Nurses (CNAs).

Certification Verification

We confirm the CNA’s completion of a state-approved CNA training program and their current certification.

Practical Skills Assessment

We evaluate the CNA’s competency in performing essential patient care tasks such as assisting with bathing, dressing, and ambulation.

Compassion and Patience

We look for CNAs who demonstrate a caring and patient demeanor when interacting with patients who may have complex needs. The interview process will highlight their ability to empathize with patients and provide emotional support.

Example

A pediatric clinic seeking CNAs to assist with patient care during well-child visits and immunizations. Northwest Healthcare Services would prioritize candidates with experience working with children. The practical skills assessment would focus on tasks like taking height and weight measurements, assisting with vaccinations, and comforting young patients during procedures. Interviews would explore the CNA’s ability to communicate effectively with children and their dedication to creating a positive and calming experience for young patients.
