   So do you always have to start off working in a Nursing home right after being certified? For home health care do you have to take the patients out shopping?

    The above poster mentioned they would smell of feces going home after work. Did this happen to you as well? I would only work as a CNA in a hospital. I've heard a lot of bad things about working in nursing homes and other facilities.
