A foreigner looking forward to doing a CNA class and more!

Published

Hi, I'm a newbie here. I have been wondering about my language barrier since I'm a foreigner who has been living in the USA for 3 months only. I have always been interested in medication and health care although I had never had a chance to study. Heard of the CNA which made me get too enthusiastic to do it I even started studying by myself at home. I really want to do it so bad! I'm planning to register for the next class which will be by the end of the next month. My question as a foreigner who has in someway a language barrier since I'm not a native of the USA, will my communication skills be a big deal for me to do the CNA? As I have learned through my own study about the CNA that communication between a nurse aide and a resident is importance for relieving anxiety such as explaining procedures. Any advice regarding my situation will be appreciated. Thank you

Once you get your CNA, you can just apply to work in psych. You don't need anything extra special. At my job, I took a self defense class and they paid me for it. It was like an 8 hour class and they paid me $18 per hour. I don't know how it works in other places. Truthfully, as a CNA, you learn on the job and all people care about is that you got the training.

I can see why the defense class was for! Thank you for the valuable information you provided. You know every single day I learn something new I get more excited to learn more and more! If I made it successfully I would carry on education and learning. I do appreciate it Neo TNX!
