Why Should I Become a CNA?

5 years ago by Larry Seth Leave a Comment

The pandemic has helped us better understand the hard work and sacrifice of health care workers, from doctors to nutrition workers, EMTs to cleaning staff, and everyone in between. If you’re looking to join the health care industry but don’t want to spend a lot of time or money on school, consider becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant, or CNA.

Certified Nursing Assistants are among the most sought-after professionals in health care for many reasons. CNAs are versatile members of a health care team, working in many different settings and performing a variety of tasks, making them valuable staff members to have on hand.

And, on the flip side, there are many benefits to working as a CNA! We’ll discuss a few of those here.

Ease and Affordability of CNA Training Programs

You can become a Certified Nursing Assistant in a matter of weeks, with an investment of less than $2,000. And because CNAs are in such high demand, it is likely that you will find employment quickly and easily.

A Career that Makes a Difference

CNAs perform daily tasks that help people live safe, healthy and independent lives. They often develop relationships with patients and families, and are a highly valued member of any health care team.

Versatility and Variety

CNAs work in nursing homes, hospitals, in patient homes, and more. If you want to work with a certain population or in a specific setting, you’ll most likely have that opportunity. If you want to make a change, it’s easy to switch to a different health care facility.

Job Stability and Security

In Minnesota and across the United States, health care providers are grappling with a shortage of nursing professionals. With an aging population, this is only likely to increase. This gives CNAs the power to dictate where they want to work, and the comfort of job security.

Identify Passions and Preferences

Beginning your nursing career as a Certified Nursing Assistant will allow you to explore different settings and roles within the health care industry. If you decide to further your career, you’ll already know the setting, role and people you want to serve.

Steppingstone to A Nursing Career

The foundations gained in a Certified Nursing Assistant training course and professional experience allows prospective nurses to start nursing coursework a step ahead.

What is a Certified Nursing Assistant?

6 years ago by bwadmin Leave a Comment

HeartCert CPR recently began offering an American Red Cross Certified Nursing Assistant training course. The certified nursing assistant, or CNA, position is one of the most versatile in health care, which means that it is also a bit misunderstood. To help clear the confusion, we’re going to offer a brief overview of the common duties and responsibilities of a CNA.

Certified nursing assistants work in a variety of different settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, adult care facilities and private residences. Regardless of the facility in which a CNA works, their responsibilities are similar. CNAs are supervised by nursing staff members, such as registered nurses or licensed practical nurses.

Here are a few of the most common duties of certified nursing assistants:

Perform Daily Care

The most common and essential care that CNAs provide is providing assistance with everyday living tasks, such as cleaning and bathing, hygiene and toileting, transporting to and from activities, serving food and transferring between furniture and wheelchairs.

Measure Vital Signs

CNAs take vital signs such as temperature and blood pressure, which helps nursing staff monitor patient health.

Light Cleaning

As CNAs help patients with daily care, they will also straighten up the living space. Depending on the type of facility, CNAs may also be tasked with deeper cleaning of bathrooms and kitchens.

Provide Medical Care

Patients under the care of a certified nursing assistant will likely have a variety of health issues. CNAs will provide care as appropriate, and will also work to ensure that the patient’s physical limitations don’t create new issues, i.e. bed sores.

Listen to Patients

This is perhaps the most important task of a certified nursing assistant. CNAs tend to spend quite a bit of time with patients, and will get to know them well. By establishing this relationship, CNAs can identify potential issues and help patients get the care they need.

Certified nursing assistants are one of the most vital and versatile members of a care team, and they are also in high demand. Get your CNA career started with HeartCert CPR’s certified nursing assistant training course.

Why Office Workers Should be Trained in CPR

8 years ago by bwadmin Leave a Comment

Office Setting

People spend a majority of their time at their workplace, so it’s very likely that they could have a heart attack at work. When this kind of incident occurs, will you be prepared to step in and help out? The best way to help out a co-worker who’s in cardiac arrest is to know how to perform CPR and why CPR is a great asset to have at the office.

Knowing CPR Can Save Lives

Thousands of people each year have cardiac arrest in the United States and often they have these heart problems where they spend the majority of their day – in the office.

What does CPR do to help? CPR helps with keeping the person’s blood circulating until an ambulance arrives. If someone in the office doesn’t know CPR, the person affected by cardiac arrest has a decreased chance of survival.

CPR is Different than Performing Mouth-to-Mouth Resuscitation

One of the main reasons that many people do not perform CPR to help fellow co-workers is because they are hesitant to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to someone else in the office. If you don’t feel comfortable giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, doing hands-only CPR can be just as effective and is better than standing by and doing nothing.

You Can Become a Bigger Asset in Your Office

Knowing how to provide immediate support with CPR will not only save a life but will make you more valuable in the office environment. The people who take the time to learn CPR will be an asset to those who have heart attacks and knowing CPR can add a valuable skill to your resume.

Learning How to Perform Hands-Only CPR Isn’t That Difficult

It’s not too time consuming or difficult to learn how to do hands-only CPR, so why wait to learn how to perform CPR? We offer FREE CPR and First Aid courses through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota? Sign up while there’s are still available spots!

Snow Shoveling Safety

9 years ago by bwadmin Leave a Comment

Tips for Preventing a Cardiac Injury While Snow Shoveling

snow shovelingWinter has officially arrived in Minnesota, with snow storms the past two weekends forcing residents state-wide to pull out our shovels and fire up our snow blowers. Clearing our driveways and sidewalks is an added duty that we all have to tackle each winter and although it may be tiring and inconvenient, it can also be dangerous. A study conducted by US Nationwide Children’s Hospital found that every winter, almost 100 people in the United States die from cardiac-related injuries associated with snow shoveling. 

Whether it is a few inches or a whole foot of snow, there are things to remember when going to clear it all out. Snow can be heavy and pushing it around with a shovel and throwing it onto your snow banks is exhausting, whether you have been doing other physical activity or not. Here are some tips for safely shoveling snow:

  • Do not shovel after eating or while smoking
  • Take it slow and stretch out before you begin
  • Shovel only fresh, powdery snow; it’s lighter
  • Push the snow rather than lifting it
  • If you do lift it, use a small shovel or only partially fill the shovel
  • Lift with your legs, not your back
  • Do not work to the point of exhaustion
  • Stay hydrated
  • Wear warm, breathable layers

If you are tackling a huge snowfall’s worth of snow, take frequent breaks, clearing your driveway in sections. If possible, get out and shovel while it is snowing to take it out layer by layer, before it gets too heavy or compacted.

If you are currently or have recently been facing lung or heart problems, consult a doctor first. At any feelings of tightness in the chest or dizziness, stop immediately. Always take your health into concern before worrying about shoveling your driveway. You are more important. If possible, shovel with someone else in your household or when a neighbor is shoveling as well so that you can monitor each other. If possible, keep your cell phone on your so that you can use it if need in an emergency.

Are you prepared to provide life-saving care in case of a snow-related cardiac emergency? HeartCert provides affordable, quality training to improve the quality of care and chance for survival in case of emergency. Plan your next on-site group training or attend a session at one of our convenient locations; click here to get started.
