Got job as CNA
Posted: 06-26-08 18:11pm

So I applied to a few places to get a job as a CNA and got a call back...I'm doing home health care now! I start Monday but its my FIRST time as a CNA, I have absolutely no experience and i'm excited but SO SO nervous about Monday! Any encouraging words or advice from health care providers? I'm hoping to be a nurse in the future i would LOVE to work in neonatal but...gotta start from the bottom!

yay! i just finished my first shift as a home health care provider...ugh..ran into a few bumps..the nurse that cares for that patient didn't have the care plan for me to read over on friday when I went up to the office but said it would be in the folder when i got to the house..it definitely WASNT...so honestly..i didn't have a CLUE what to do grrrr...luckily the wife was there and she was very kind and just pointed me in the right direction and let me know what is usually done...all in all the shift went pretty smooth I'd say, and tomorrow i'll at least know what to expect! nursing school here i come!

Yay--this is great. One thing that i have to say is a must--have confidence in yourself--if you go in with the whole---i cant do this or a negative atitude---it doenst help. I guess that these minor flaws in the job is what makes things interesting and we learn from them---left to find out on our own we learn more. experiance is the best teacher
