Getting prepared for CNA classes.

Published

Hello everyone, I will be taking a cna course through a local nursing home soon, what are some things I can do to prepare myself for the course?

I didn't prepare myself much for my CNA class. I did watch some awesome videos on YouTube that showed some CNA skills step by step. Maybe you could check those out. Just type cna skills in the search box.

You'll be just fine. Good luck!

Get comfortable shoes; very important as you will be on your feet a lot and lifting.

A pocket size note book, and pens. I also wore a 'fanny pack' to carry wallet, cell, etc.

Protein bars or some small snack to keep energy. Bottled h20, stay hydrated.

When you get the text book, take the end of chapter review tests then study what you don't know. The text books tend to be HUGE and it can be difficult to read everything, focus on what you need to learn.

Keep an open mind and conduct yourself professionally at all times. You'll want to make a great impression and be a desirable new hire for the nursing home.

Good luck and enjoy the training!
