CNA Medical Unit

About the Role

At MercyOne, health care is more than just a doctor’s visit or a place to go when you’re in need of medical attention. Our Mission is based on improving the health of our communities — that means not only when you are sick but keeping you well. As a Nurse Assistant (NA) at MercyOne Dubuque/Dyersville Medical Center, you will be a member of the healthcare team under the direct supervision of a registered professional nurse. NAs provide holistic, compassionate, individualized, and effective patient care by assisting patients with activities of daily living and addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs consistent with MercyOne’s Mission, Vision of Patient Care Services, evidence-based standards of care, and established policies and procedures.

MercyOne Dubuque is the leading hospital in the tri-states, offering the only comprehensive cardiology center and level II regional neonatal intensive care unit in the area, as well as the newly constructed MercyOne Dubuque Cancer Center. Other services include a trauma center, a CARF-accredited inpatient rehabilitation unit, home health care, orthopedics, retail pharmacies, palliative care, and a wide range of outpatient and community services. MercyOne operates two hospital-based skilled nursing units and a 40-bed nursing home. MercyOne Dubuque has been designated a Magnet® hospital four consecutive times — the nation's most prestigious award for nursing excellence.
