It is often believed that nursing assistants are limited to caring for elderly patients, but that is only one area of the many jobs they perform. They are constantly physically interacting with patients, performing minor or even major routine procedures under the supervision of a nurse. it is impossible to imagine that a robot could replace them considering that, one of the most common tasks they perform is drawing blood or cleaning wounds, and this carries a massive biohazard if not handled correctly.
A robot doing this single task would need, at least to comply with legal regulations on sanitation, to have a self-cleaning system that works at least three times per procedure, a contamination area suitable for the robot where it can expel the waste, a technician to supervise that the hygiene process has been correctly executed, sterilization supplies applied by a third party or by a second mechanism to prevent contamination of blood or biological secretions in new procedures.
And the biggest problem is that if the robot were to fail to perform its hygiene process and contaminate another patient, the lawsuits would be catastrophic for a task that could be performed by a human in less time and for a low wage.

I believe that it would cost the wage of four nursing assistants to cover the maintenances and pay technicians for a single robot.

Nursing assistants need to interact with people in a very physical way which constantly adapts and is never the same. Replacing NAs will require the development and deployment of highly agile soft robotics that are able to safely and comfortably handle human beings while considering medical factors that are not easily measured.

Robots have no emotions so how could they care for patients?
