CNA's in ER.

Hello. I am soon to be a CNA who is looking to find out if Nursing is where I want my future to be. I plan on trying out several different settings hopefully.

I was just curious what role a CNA plays in your ED's and what type of tasks they usually handle.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Warm Regards, Michael

We are so glad when we have our orderly. We generally hire guys for the Er , just for extra muscle. They have numerous duties:

set up heart monitors/ O2/ VS

transport for test / admission to floors

assist with CPR in codes

catheters/ obtain spec/ assist with OCL's

restaining pt ... for this I am truly thankful

I was a CNA in the ER before going to nursing school and I also worked the Chest Pain Obs unit behind the ED when busy.

Good luck ...:D
