Hello Everyone! Tomorrow is my 3rd day in clinicals, and unlike my previous weeks, I DREAD going back. I know I have to attend every clinical (five days) in order to pass the class, but I am finding it very hard to keep my emotions aside. I am emotionally attached to some of the residents I take care of, and it just breaks my heart to see them as frail as they are. How do you disconnect? I tried so hard, and I jus cant seem to do it. I was feeding one of the residents, and she grabbed my hand and told me tha I was the nicest nurse she ever encountered there, and she "LOVES ME"... I had to break away from her to run out of the room and head for the bathroom. I cried my eyes out. I am not sure a Nursing home is a place for me....

Thank you so much for such an informative response. I can't wait to start the classes. I will more than likely have a question or two when the classes get closer, or start. =) Thanks a bunch again.

I live in New York. I am going to Orange Ulster Boces

Hello everyone! I am starting the CNA classes through BOCES on October 25th. I was just wondering what the day to say classes are like. I will attend M-F from 830am to 3:00PM. Do they make you wear scrubs? If so, do the colors vary? Also is their a graduation ceremony for CNA's? Thank you Denise
