Hi, I'm 43 went back to school for nursing when my kid graduated from high school. I'm in my second year of nursing school right now. No you're not too old and you will find when you start classes that their are more students then you might think that around your same age. Second, that is what I did. I took CNA training with the Red Cross and got a job as a CNA in the hospital. I didn't want to go through all that schooling and find out that I didn't want to do it. It's great experiance and you will find out quick if this is what you want to do. Good Luck

I don't know if it is the same for you at your facility, but at mine the nurses and CNA's are coworkers, so the RN does not have the right to send home or write up. They do have the right to go to Mgr. with complaint and the Mgr. has the right to do the above. I wouldn't wait until next time. I would go to the Mgr. and tell them about the incident and nip this in the bud now. Right now I work as a CNA with one more year to go for RN. I have seen both senerios. RN's that will not do a thing for a pt. and hunt down the CNA to do it and I have seen CNA's try to show the RN that they aren't going to be told what to do. It seems like it gets to be a Us aganist Them when it really should be Us as a Team. Good Luck, but really nip this now.
