You'll perform a broad range of duties in many diverse health care settings including caring for newborns, the aged, home-bound, or mentally ill. Under the supervision of a physician or a registered nurse, you’ll prepare patients for examination, administer medications, check patient’s vital signs, and sometimes perform routine laboratory tests.
