Working under the direct supervision of a licensed practical nurse or registered nurse, a certified nurse aide (CNA) does the following:
- Assists residents with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, or eating.
- Performs procedures that are within the scope of practice for a CNA.
The Wisconsin Nurse Aide Registry lists the names of CNAs who, through training, testing and experience, meet federal and/or state requirements to work in Wisconsin.
