Certified nurse aides, also known as certified nursing assistants, work directly with medical patients in a variety of settings. They take direction from medical staff and are often responsible for helping patients with daily activities, monitoring their vital signs and reporting their mental, physical, or emotional conditions
Certified medication aides administer daily pharmaceutics to patients under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN). Medication aides are required to study the different classifications of drugs as well as their side effects. They also need to know the dangers of combining certain medications and what to do in case of an overdose
Certified medication aides dispense oral, inhalation and topical medications to patients. They observe patients for drug reactions and report any problems to the nurses. Medication aides monitor the patient’s vital signs, calculate medication dosages and stock the medication cart. Certified medication aides also record what medications were given for the day and the dosage in the nurse’s medication administration record (MAR) chart.
