Questions Fréquentes
What's the difference between CNA and Certified Nursing Assistant roles?
They're the same role — CNA is the common abbreviation for Certified Nursing Assistant. Some job postings use the full title, others use the abbreviation. Your cover letter should demonstrate the same core competencies regardless of which title is used.
How many patients should I mention caring for?
Be specific about your typical patient load. "Provided care for 8-10 patients per shift" in a hospital differs from "Cared for 15-20 residents" in long-term care. The number establishes your experience with workload expectations and helps employers understand your capacity.
Should I include soft skills in my CNA cover letter?
Yes, but demonstrate them through examples rather than just claiming them. Instead of "I am compassionate," write "Provided comfort measures and emotional support to patients receiving end-of-life care." Show compassion in action.
How do I address physical demands of CNA work?
You don't need to explicitly state you can lift patients, but mentioning mobility assistance and transfers demonstrates physical capability. "Assisted with safe patient transfers using proper body mechanics and lift equipment" addresses this implicitly.
