Nursing assistant - entry into the professional world of nursing care

Anyone who decides to train as a nursing assistant lays an important foundation for entering the world of nursing. However, it should be mentioned here that a corresponding nursing assistant course is sometimes also completed if someone wants to prepare for caring for relatives or wants to return to a nursing profession after a longer career break. In addition to theoretical lessons, the basic course always includes a work placement. This gives participants a sound insight into the world of the care professions. They learn how to competently and professionally support and accompany elderly people and people in need of care under the responsibility of care professionals and how to help them in their daily lives. Through their work, care assistants help to maintain health and prevent illness and accidents. Sometimes domestic tasks are also part of the nursing assistant's field of activity.

Do you have a lot of empathy and understanding for sick or elderly people? Are people with disabilities close to your heart and would you like to support them professionally? Are you looking to start a career in care? Then the SRC nursing assistant course is a very suitable option.

On the innovative and popular education portal Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch you will find a number of suitable training courses from renowned nursing schools. Order informative documents on the individual courses online directly from the schools and benefit from free consultations.
