I'm basic nursing assistant certified, according to state board of nursing, that puts me at the same level as a CNA. I'd like to get some experience under my belt, but I'd prefer not to work in a LTC faculty.
Please don't get the wrong idea. I can stand to wipe butts, clean linens, and perform as an underpaid maid, but I cannot lift over 50 pounds (doctor's orders) nor do I have the stamina to run around like a chicken with its head cut off. (Sorry, bad pun.)
My future goal is to become a perioperative nurse and a first assistant. Luckily, these duties are in my ability to perform after I've been properly trained.
But what could I do as a BNA other than nursing home maid work?
