Nurses’ aides
Nurses’ aides care for people in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes, assisted-living communities, or other medical facilities under the direction of nurses. They are generally trained to do some simple assessments of health such as measuring temperature, and taking pulses and blood pressures. They are also trained to help with basic daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. Nurses’ aides may respond to signal lights or bells indicating that someone needs help.
