Why PeaceHealth. Why Cardiology. Why Now.

Not every CNA role gives you the opportunity to build relationships with patients, work alongside a collaborative cardiac team, and make a visible impact on recovery. This one does.

What's in it for you?

• Work with a team that knows your name and values your voice. Your observations and patient interactions help shape care decisions every day.
• Spend more time where you want to be: with patients. You'll play a hands-on role helping people regain confidence, mobility, and independence.
• Grow your healthcare career. Cardiology offers exposure to complex patient care, strong interdisciplinary teamwork, and opportunities to expand your clinical knowledge.
• Join a mission-driven healthcare system that invests in caregiver wellbeing, professional development, and a culture of compassion.

What You'll Do

In this role, you'll help create a safe, comfortable, and healing experience for patients while working closely with nurses and the broader care team.

Your day may include:

• Taking and documenting vital signs and reporting changes or concerns to the nursing team.
• Monitoring intake and output.
• Assisting with treatments and basic patient care activities as directed by the RN.
• Providing comfort, reassurance, and compassionate support to patients and families.
• Keeping patient rooms stocked and organized.
• Documenting patient information accurately and promptly.
• Answering call lights and responding to patient needs with urgency and kindness.
