Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) - Neurology

Springfield, Oregon

About the role

If you're a CNA who wants to do more than move from room to room checking boxes, this Neurology opportunity offers something different. Here, you'll build relationships with patients navigating complex neurological conditions, become an important part of their recovery journey, and work alongside a team that values compassionate, patient-centered care every day.

Neurology is where every patient has a story, every day looks different, and your care can make a lasting impact. If you're looking for a role in which you are truly part of the care team and not just another staff member on a busy unit, we'd love to meet you.

What makes this opportunity stand out:

• Meaningful patient connections. Care for patients recovering from stroke, neurological illness, and other complex conditions where consistency, compassion, and attention to detail truly matter.
• Be part of progress you can see. Celebrate milestones alongside patients as they regain strength, mobility, independence, and confidence.
• Work with a highly collaborative team. Partner closely with nurses, therapists, providers, and support staff who value every team member's contribution.
• Grow your skills in a specialized environment. Gain experience caring for patients with diverse neurological needs while building a strong clinical foundation.
• Join a mission-driven organization. At PeaceHealth, we believe exceptional patient care starts with supporting and valuing our caregivers.

Responsibilities

• Assist patients with daily care needs such as bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and meals.

• Support treatments and basic nursing procedures within your scope of practice.
• Offer reassurance, emotional support, and compassionate care to patients and families.
• Keep patient rooms stocked and organized to support efficient care delivery.
• Document care accurately in the medical record.
• Provide occasional unit support, including answering phones, processing orders, and assisting with clerical tasks.
• Contribute to a welcoming, respectful, team-oriented environment.

Requirements

• Enjoy building relationships with patients and families
• Stay calm and adaptable in a fast-paced environment
