Dallas Nursing Assistant Jobs
Hospitals in the Dallas area seem to be doing a better job at keeping nursing jobs filled than the rest of Texas, with a total hospital staffing vacancy rate much lower than the statewide rate of 11 percent. However, the rate for RNs was a little higher, and the nursing shortage is still a major concern. A recent law will address this issue by providing $30 million in funding to increase enrollment at nursing schools so qualified applicants stop getting turned down. This will be a great aid to hospitals where nurses are being overworked because of a lack of staff. Major hospitals in Dallas include Parkland Memorial Hospital, Baylor University Medical Center, and Medical City Hospital.
Nursing Assistant
Nursing assistantsincluding nursing aides, nursing attendants and nursing care attendants work under the supervision of nursing and medical staff to complete routine tasks and provide direct patient care. Nursing assistants might help patients with grooming and eating, straighten up patients rooms, escort them to exam rooms, take their pulse and more. The federal government requires nursing aides that work in nursing care facilities to complete a state-approved training program and pass an evaluation test to become Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs). The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts excellent job growth for nursing aides, orderlies and attendants.
