   OMG! how inappropiate! Errrghhhh... yeah well right now I'm in CNA training class and oh how i LOVE it! Our instructor does such a good job at telling us just how important CNA's are to the team. Yes we do wipe butt. Yes we do clean up vomit. Yes it ...

   Thanks for all your replies :-) I know I haven't even started as a CNA yet, and I guess I was just curious and looking for more positive threads about being a CNA, but like FuzzyWuzzy said I understand where he is coming from. Thanks all!

   I've been doing a LOT of reading up about the whole job description of a CNA, along w/ a lot of forums w/ people's opinions and stories. Is it just me or does it seem like when this question is asked, "Do you like being a CNA?" Everyone basically jus...

6. Difference between NA & CNA?

   AmandaS<3 replied to AmandaS<3's topic in CNA/MA

   Alright yeah, all that makes sense. Just because you're going into a CNA training course obviously doesn't mean you ARE a CNA. Only after you pass the state exam, and I know for sure that there is a certification exam after the six weeks. Thank you a...

   Ah I see. That makes me feel better. I guess I am just starting to become nervous and anxious about this class, that I'm now overthinking everything!

8. First Day Tomorrow! (Ah!!!)

   AmandaS<3 replied to cupcake231's topic in CNA/MA

   I don't really think that's the case. I think it just depends on who is teaching you. Of course they're gonna teach you what you absolutley NEED to know, they want you to pass. But I know there ARE instructors who want you to strive to be the best yo...

9. Difference between NA & CNA?

   AmandaS<3 replied to AmandaS<3's topic in CNA/MA

   I'm pretty sure that this class is meant for hopeful CNA's. Because why else would there be a certification exam at the end (6 weeks of training fyi.)

10. Difference between NA & CNA?

    AmandaS<3 posted a topic in CNA/MA

    What's the difference between a NA and a CNA? I know that NA isn't classified as being certified (which obviously involves a certification exam.) I'm starting my first CNA class on monday, and thinking/reading back to the emails between the instructo...

11. CNA training program - Opinions? Scary? Exciting?

    AmandaS<3 posted a topic in CNA/MA

    Hey all! In about a week or so I will be starting a CNA training program through a local nursing/retirement home. I'm really excited! Becoming a nurse is my dream job! And taking a CNA class is a great stepping stone in that direction in my opinion....
