Registered nursing assistants (NARs) are critical to the success of our care team. Nursing assistants can use this hands-on experience to prepare themselves for future jobs in healthcare. Many schools accept this work experience as course credit. 

NARs care for patients and assist registered nurses in day-to-day activities, including:

• Residents' daily tasks
• Bathing, grooming and feeding residents
• Medical checkups and procedures
• Administrative duties
