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 ...

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...

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.

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 m...

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?

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.

Awesome! My clinicals starts next week too. ?

I work weekends waiting tables. Blehh.

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...

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.

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 colle...

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 bas...

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.

That's so exciting. I'm starting my Cna class too next week, in addition to prerequisites. But for my class we needed all white scrubs and white tennis shoes for the clinical portion of the class. But if you need a uniform for your class I would chec...

So I'm having to purchase all white scrubs for clinicals, for my Cna class and I have no idea where to go. There's this place in the local mall that sells but I don't want to try there if it's too expensive. I don't want to go the online route. So, w...

So I'm starting to take two classes to work on my prerequisites. Which is algebra and human growth and development. Right now I only work weekends. But in September I'm taking a six week Cna class. The class is Monday through Friday 4-10. My prerequi...

Thanks I feel like I can handle it too. It just that in the past I kinda have had time management issues being my biggest problem. But I feel like with the right motivation I can get it done. Thanks for suggesting a planner that's a great idea. I'm g...

My classes don't start until the 18th but right now I'm totally enjoying my time off before a hectic fall semester. I'm enjoying my off days by being a lazy bum. So what are y'all doing to enjoy yourselves and relax before classes start? :)

Well it's only all white for clinicals, good thing it's not that way for a job. But I bought some Cherokee pants at goodwill for three dollars, then my top from Walmart. But then I found some all white Avis shoes at Walmart on sale.

Lol not boring at all. But the classes I'm taking are college algebra, human growth and development, and a six week Cna course in September. Hopefully I'm not overloading myself.

@triatta exactly I only have a two week break too.

Human development, college algebra, Cna course

All that's so exciting, sadly my summer was filled with taking a class and working too save up cash. :/
