Hello everyone, I recently got hired as a CNA. I completed my CNA certification through American Red cross, and this is my first job as a CNA. I currently work the first shift which is 7am-3pm. The Nursing home facility I am hired at gave me 3 days for orientation and tomorrow they are putting me on the floor by myself. To be quite frank, I am terrified out of my mind. Yesterday they put me alone to clean and dress a resident. To my utter horror and embarrassment it took me an hour to put on the briefs for them. I find myself like a deer caught in head lights and unable to do anything on my own. I know what to do in my head (and I understand that what I learned in school is not 100% how they do it out in the work field) but for some reason I find myself unable to execute it. My dream is to one day become a Nurse Practitioner and I'm also currently in the process of getting my prerequisites done so I can apply for a BSN program. I am feeling discouraged and questioning if I can do this. If any of you can offer me any advice and/or tips I would greatly appreciate it.
