Need some advice

Published

On January 5th I am starting a CNA program, it's a month-long and I'm pretty excited about it . It's pretty much my first job so after I test and get certified and guaranteed a position which I chose tonight shift . Right now I am a full time mom to a little girl who is almost 5. Her day is weird. She leaves for school at 8:30 and is home at 11:40 for lunch. After lunch, at 12:10 I drive he 10 minutes to school for a different program and she's home again at 3.. I'm looking for advice on how to handle the class and being a beginner CNA on the third shift and also how to handle third shift any tips thanks in advance

Your best bet for good advice is to post in the CNA forum.

What are the hours for the CNA class? Night shift at my facility is pretty laid back, we just do rounds every two hours, restock resident rooms, and then get people up in the morning. When I work night shift (10:30PM-7AM) I get off work, stay up until about 9 or 10AM, sleep until about 4PM then stay awake until 7ish then take a nap for about an hour to an hour and a half. Everyone has different ways of coping though :)
