Is that the only way? I’m scared to be placed just anywhere because if I pick job I don’t like and still can’t get the job I want I’ll just be stuck. The hospitals in my area are always hiring techs for the specialties I mentioned above. Which I guess could be good or bad.

Hello everyone I’m a CNA and I’m new to this site so idk how welcomed CNAs are but I have always wanted to work in peds, mother baby, labor and delivery, or the NICU. As of now I work with the elderly doing home health and I enjoy it but I want to try working in a hospital as well. I can be pretty shy and I’ll be excited about a job opportunity when I apply then when I really think about it, I panic. I think about dealing with unhappy parents it worries me that I won’t be able to handle them. I do enjoy the main task at hand of being a CNA it makes me feel accomplished and I know I’m compassionate and empathetic but I just don’t have that back bone right now. I’m also only 24 so I feel like people see me and think “what does she know she’s young.” I eventually want to be a nurse and with that comes even more responsibility. Do any of you have anxiety as nurses or CNA but are still darn good at your job or should I look for other career choices?
