Make a Difference Where Every Patient Knows Your Name

If you're a CNA who enjoys building relationships with patients rather than feeling like you're just moving from task to task, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for. Join our Orthopedic Medical team and play an important role in helping patients recover mobility, regain independence, and return to the activities that matter most to them.

Why PeaceHealth? Why Now?

• See the impact of your work every day. Orthopedic patients often arrive in pain and leave stronger, more independent, and ready for the next step in their recovery.
• Be a valued part of the care team. You'll work closely with nurses, therapists, providers, patients, and families to support safe healing and mobility goals.
• Build meaningful patient connections. Your encouragement, presence, and hands-on care make a lasting difference during some of your patients' most vulnerable moments.
• Grow your skills in a highly collaborative environment. Gain experience caring for a diverse patient population while working alongside experienced healthcare professionals.
• Enjoy the stability of a respected not-for-profit health system. PeaceHealth invests in our caregivers through competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, professional development, and a mission-driven culture.

What You'll Do

As a CNA on our Orthopedic Medical Unit, you'll help patients stay safe, comfortable, and supported throughout their recovery journey.

• Assist patients with daily care activities such as bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, eating, and hydration.
• Help patients safely move, walk, transfer, and participate in mobility activities that support recovery.
• Take and record vital signs and other patient information.
• Monitor patients and promptly communicate changes or concerns to the nursing team.
• Support treatments and care activities as delegated by a Registered Nurse and within CNA scope of practice.
• Measure and document fluid intake and output.
• Stock patient rooms and care areas with supplies needed for patient care.
• Accurately document patient information in the medical record.
• Support smooth unit operations by answering phones, processing orders, and assisting with clerical tasks as needed.
• Create a positive experience for patients and families through compassionate, respectful care.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Oregon Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification upon hire.
• Basic Life Support (BLS) certification upon hire through the American Heart Association or American Red Cross.
• Ability to provide compassionate, patient-centered care.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Ability to stay organized and work effectively in a fast-paced environment.

Nice to Have

We understand that great CNAs come from many different backgrounds and experiences. While not required, candidates with at least one year of experience in an acute care or hospital setting may find the transition into our orthopedic medical environment easier and may feel more confident managing multiple patient needs throughout the day.
