You know you are a CNA when....
I had a resident who wanted to leave, but we told him his (dead) wife had taken it to go grocery shopping and that their (also dead dog) had gone with her to get some running around accomplished while he napped and we weren't supposed to tell him she had a surprise for supper. He quickly jumpped into bed and "pretended" to be asleep until he really did. This failed to say he had been on that light every 5 and he was a high risk fall...oh, and he had been a priest for 27 years after his wife had passed.

Starting CNA class next week...any advice?
also, pay attention to why you are doing things in the order of the procedures notes. I couldn't get the whole changing the occupied linen thing down until I had to do it as a CNA in a NCF. I had the worst time, but I remembered the ideas that the instructor had put in my head and closed my eyes and hit the door for a buddy. Learn who your friends are and trust your instinct. If you have a second thought, get help during your training. Thats why it is training. Don't feel like the questions you are asking are stupid. The only stupid question is the one you were too proud to ask, and now you are standing there looking stupid.

booted from er job while on general medical leave
I am soo sorry for your situation. I have heard of this in quite a few other industries. Most of the time the medical is termed as personal then when you don't return to work, you are termed. Lawyers I chatted with say that it is a way for the facility to terminate you for a reason when they can't get rid of you for other ones. Get all of your paperwork and legal stuff in order and get a lawyer!
