I am just finishing up my CNA and am really interested in pediatrics. Can anyone who is a RN or equivelant help. I really want to know what kind of things a CNA does with the kids. I have seen some stuff but its all been in the other sections of the hospital. I want to know more about the pediatric unit. Please help.

A CNA is basically a second hand to LVN’s and RN’s.
A CNA can transport patients from room to procedures, take blood pressure, help bathe patients, help patients who have limited movement ( getting them in and out of bed to use the restroom), help in the physical care of paitents ( helping the RN turn them so they don’t get bed sores).
CNA is a helpful support system for a patients overall care in a hospital. In most hospitals there are teams: RN, LVN, CNA as well as a Respiratory Therapist, or any other specialist needed to help the patient get better.
CNA is a valuable person to have in a hospital.
