The Role
What you'll do on assignment.
As a travel certified nursing assistant, you provide direct patient care including vital signs, activities of daily living (ADLs), mobility assistance, intake/output monitoring, and documentation. Your hands-on care is essential to patient comfort, safety, and recovery in both acute and long-term settings.
Travel CNA assignments typically place you in hospital medical-surgical units, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, or skilled nursing facilities. You work closely with registered nurses and the care team, serving as a critical link between patients and clinical staff.
Because Cuready understands healthcare professionals, your recruiter knows the difference between acute hospital CNA work and long-term care assignments. They match you to positions that align with your patient care experience and setting preferences.

Training & Education
Your path to the field.
From state-approved CNA programs to clinical certification — what the professional journey looks like for certified nursing assistants.
Your recruiter knows this pathway.
Because Cuready is built by healthcare professionals, we understand what each credential means and how to match your training to the right assignments.
CNAs complete a state-approved nursing assistant training program, typically 75–120 hours of classroom and clinical instruction. Programs cover basic patient care, infection control, vital signs, body mechanics, and communication skills. Many community colleges, vocational schools, and healthcare facilities offer CNA programs.
After completing an approved training program, CNAs must pass a state competency exam (written and skills demonstration) to be placed on the state nurse aide registry. Certification requirements and reciprocity vary by state — your recruiter can help navigate multi-state credentialing.
