About Certified Nursing Assistant per diem work
Certified nursing assistants provide hands-on daily care under the direction of licensed nurses. Typical duties include assisting with bathing, dressing, mobility, and meals, taking and recording vital signs, repositioning patients to protect skin integrity, and reporting changes in condition to the nursing team — often serving as the eyes and ears of the unit.
Per-diem CNA shifts are typically available in skilled nursing facilities, long-term care communities, and hospital units, across all shift types. Because staffing needs change daily in these settings, CNAs who can pick up shifts flexibly are consistently in demand, making per-diem a practical way to build hours around school, family, or another job.
Credential and licensure expectations vary by state and care setting, and typically include:
- Active CNA certification in good standing on the state registry where the shift is located (state requirements vary)
- BLS/CPR certification is commonly required
- Recent direct patient-care experience is typically expected
- Some settings request additional competencies such as safe patient handling or dementia care training
