Haha, I am terrible with the placement of the letter "I" in some words... Thank you everyone. I guess I'm just going to have to work through any worries I have. I just don't like feeling unsure of myself, you know?

Okay so I am a cna/hha and have been doing this for about a year. I love my job and love my paitents. Last week I was at a shower apppointment with one of my regulars. He's an elderly man who's been sick with the flu. Anyway I got him into the shower as normal and everything was ok. Normally he is able to do his own perineal care, but he was ill and a little weaker than normal so I told him I would assist him with that today. As he stood up I instructed him to use the grab bars to keep steady. Then out of no where he just went down in the tub. He weighs well over 200lbs, and there was no way I was going to lift him. I immediatly hit his rescue pendant around his neck. I called his RN and wrote everything down. I was really shaken up, more so then he was I think. I felt so utterly helpless and useless. That was almost 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I had another regular appointment begin to fall, this time I was able to grab her under the arms and kind of guild her to the chair in her shower instead of going down totally. Now I am feeling really upset and unsure of myself. I'm so paranoid about my paitents homes and keep feeling like there are fall risks everywhere and I'm terrified all the time. What can I do to get over this?

Huh, at my school you must take all lower level classes in math and science in order to progress to higher ones. Like, bio 101, before bio 170, and math 100, before math 150, etc. You can attempt to test out of a few classes, however the tests are designed to encompass the entire course, so they are pretty hard to pass.
