Zieglarf,If you were referring to my response, you're very welcome. I'm glad I could help. Either way, I hope my response helped.

I am a CNA @ a nursing home. There is only 1 resident there who won't allow me to provide care for her because I am a male. Both her, and her sister who visits her often, want nothing to do with me. I respect her opinion / decision. There is multiple possibilities why she may feel that way. Unfortunately, in some females' minds, things that some males do to women gives all of us a bad name.

Definitely, include it. It will show the employer that you have more knowledge than the average CNA. If other CNAs are also applying for this job, your extra knowledge will increase the chance of the employer giving the job to you.

I don't think highschools offer CNA training. You take that after highschool at a college. The training consists of 2 parts. The first part is classroom training at the college. Then when you pass that part, you do the clinicals / on-the-job training at a nursing home. After passing both parts, you take a state written test and state skills test for your CNA license and placement on your state's Nurse Aide Registry.

Are there any CNAs on this website who work in hospitals? If "yes" what things do they have you do in the hospital? I currently work in a nursing home. However I'm curious about what it would be like working in the hospital.

i just recently completed my cna class, passed my state certification tests, and got my cna license. the classroom portion of the training involved learning several terms. i found it very helpful to make flashcards to study the terms. i got 100%s on all my quizzes by studying the flashcards. i also went on this website and took the practice written exam several times. www.asisvcs.com/publications/pdf/069912.pdf for our class we had 2 books, a text book and a book of assignments. since our teacher did not collect the assignments that she assigned from the book, several people in the class didn't do them and then ended up failing the class because they didn't learn all the material. therefore whether or not your teacher collects the assignments, be sure to do them. as far as the clinical/on-the-job portion of the class goes, just pay close attention and don't be afraid to ask your teacher or nurses at the location questions. good luck!!!

My resume is in a binder. In it I included xerox copies of: my certificate from school confirming I passed the Nursing Assistant program, my sheets I received from the testing location which confirm that I passed the state CNA written and skills exams, my certificate and registry card I received in the mail after passing my state written and skills exams, and my "Wisconsin Nurse Aide Registry Verification" sheet I printed from the internet.. I have shown those things to 2 employers and it has been enough to interest them both.

Do you enjoy working in the hospital environment or would a nursing home or assisted living facility environment be better. I currently have interviews set up at all locations and am not sure which would be best to work at.

I am a CNA and have a job interview at a hospital to work on the "Med Surg" floor. Does anybody know what my CNA job responsibilities would be working on that floor? Please let me know. Thanks.
