You shouldn't feel that way, about questioning your career.I felt overwhelmed at first aswell.But with time and patience also comes something very important, which is time management. Of course where I'm at it's only 16 residents to one person doing care and med pass. One trick that helped me was knowing who gets extra pills, for examples creams,patches,vitamins and save those for last.

Okay that's understandable, yes the meds are prepackaged and labeled so it's not like I'm making out the doses per resident. But I didn't know about checking state regulation online. Thanks.

So, I'm really nervous about this. I would like everybody's opinion. I just had my first day working at an assisted living facility. The residents are pretty independent. The thing that is bugging me is that the cnas have to pass meds on top of other cnas duties. Is this even okay? I just feel like it is making me uneasy. Because in school I learned there is supposed to be a med nurse for certain facilities, like nursing homes.

Oh wow, well cna work can be optional in terms of getting a job at a facility, hospital, or the home Health route. But what I've been contemplating is working only weekends at a nursing home or hospital. Then staying with the home health agency and maybe have one client during the week in between my classes.

Thanks for the advice!! I was just curious because I'm just a few weeks I'm taking my state test, I want to be sure that home health is right for me. Because I'm interested in starting off their and I landed an interview with an agency.

Hello, I'm interested in home health cna work. Can anyone who works in home health give me any pointers or what your experience is like in home health?

Awesome! My clinicals starts next week too. ?

I work weekends waiting tables. Blehh.

I'm sorry but nine months long and 30k, sounds like it came straight off a craigslist ad.

Well I'm not sure what would make it for profit technically? But my school is like a training center, I guess. It's not affiliated with any of the local colleges.

Good morning guys, I'm not taking my class at my local college because it's over a thousand without financial aid because it's a non credit course. The school I'm going to only offers Cna, pharm tech, and phlebotomy. It seems to me like it's run like a business not school, when I filed the application I felt like it was a job application. But it's the only place that offers Cna class for cheap and in six weeks then school in my area. It's 500 plus price for state test, which is another 100. But my class starts tomorrow. I'm excited but kinda nervous. Did anyone else get trained in a place like this?

Well it was very situational. This was over a year ago. Afterwards. I was taking one class per semester, and I took a semester off because of family issues. I also had to appeal academic probation. But luckily the grades only effected English and basic biology. But my backup plan is to apply to the lpn program then bridge to rn if I dont get accepted to rn program.

Well I haven't taken those yet, I in it didn't do well in three courses which were developmental math and the biology class when I did the retake. I still have those courses to take, including speech.

It's just that I know the programs are so competitive. And idk if someone else has been in this situation and got accepted first try.

So, basically I went to a state college my first year in college. Then I bumped around and never took it seriously. Because of this one developmental class I never finished I got on academic probation for a year. So I transferred to a community college (which has been a great idea). The way they take applicants is through the lottery system but they are still competitive. Well when I started I took four classes during the semester I suffered with depression. So I quit showing up it effected my gpa. When I retook the classes I took only one or two per semester. But in my English 101 class I received a c and my basic anatomy and physiology. Which isn't exactly a&p it's just a preview class. And my psychology class I received an A. In my developmental math classes I received a c. Those classes don't transfer to a four year university except psychology. Sorry about the long read. I just don't know what to do in this situation. My counselor said I still have plenty more classes to take and I can do good and redeem myself. But those classes also give me points toward the lottery that I'm not gonna get now.
