All patients need care, need bathed, turned, fed, some are just sicker than others. CNAs sometimes don't get the credit they deserve for the work they do, but it would be a great opportunity. Take the job and get all the experience that you can, you'll be glad you have it when you are looking for a job after you get your license.

Hello All nurses!
I'm brand new to this site, and have a question for all the nurses, nursing students, and even cna's out there! I'm a pre-nursing student who currenty works in a hospital(in an office) so I recently took an accelerated CNA course to get my license to be able to get that patient interaction! I've been blessed with an amazing opprotunity..or atleast I think I have...to work on an ICU unit, now the feedback I have been getting from peope I work with has varied. I would like to think ICU is great expirience, yet others are teling me its to "intense" for a first CNA job and requires some expirience and easing into... I learn pretty quick, and am not lazy or becoming a CNA for the money..I truly want to be a part of helping someone, and getting to interact with patients. What is your oppinion, do I start off on a "easier" unit??:icon_roll
