first interview.

after debating for some time, i had went last week to a LTC to apply for paid nurse aid training. however, i don't think i got in. i was going to enroll in my local tech schools program next week. today i got a call from a LTCF that i had applied to as a residential aid (i think it's a non-certified nurse aid) my best friends mom happens to be the person who trains the aids and such there. i have an interview on thursday :) i'm so excited! i'm not to afraid since my best friends mom, who i've known would be the one training me, so i think i'd be alot more comfortable if i got the job. i'm still kind of nervous though. has anyone ever worked as a residential aid, what exactly does the job involve. i'll be working part time, afternoon shift. i know the facility is a non-lift facility so thats kind of a relief for me since this is the first time i've worked as an aid.

congratulations and good luck!!!

honestly if your heart is in nursing you will get over the unpleasant parts of the job. i'm about to graduate in 2 weeks and boy has my perspective changed drastically since i started. the patient i have been assigned to face lights up everytime she see's me and she gives me a kiss and tells me she loves me everytime i leave.

i'm not sure wether i'll be able to take the pay cut working as a cna untill i get my degree but one thing is certain i have learned so much not only about the profession but also about myself and i have absolutely no regrets.

i always knew this is where my passion was but becoming a cna just helped reinforce it.

again best of luck to you...
