Save your back, and get a rolling one. I'm 26, and I have one!! A regular one just kills my back.

LOL I like your brutally honest answer! It's a good thing for a job, but with friends and family it may be a little offensive sometimes.

I don't know that these are the best answers, but I was hired! It was my first interview for a CNA job. Describe a situation when you had to get someone to trust you. How did you gain their trust? When I ran a home daycare, I had to gain the parents trust with their kids. To gain their trust I was honest with them and communicated with them daily about their kids. I did what I said I would do, when I said I would do it. Describe a time when you worked in a team to accomplish something. When I was an assistant manager, I worked with a team of managers to improve quality of training, and to improve customer service. This included coming up with contest for the employes to boost moral and productivity. Describe a time when u saw an employee doing something wrong. What did you do? I saw another assistant manager be very disrespectful to another employee out of anger. I reported it to the general manager, and she spoke with him about it. Describe a time when u did not agree with your boss or an employee. What did u do? How did u handle it? It had to do with scheduling. I explained why a certain schedule may not work, and we discussed it and mad appropriate changes. Describe how you keep track of your own weekly activities. I keep a calender where I will see it every day. I write my weekly/monthly actives on it. If I think that I may forget something important, I set a reminder on my phone. You can relate the answers not only to other jobs, but also from your personal life or school. Hope this helps!

I was asked things like: Describe a situation when you had to get someone to trust you. How did you gain their trust? Describe a time when you worked in a team to accomplish something. Describe a time when u saw an employee doing something wrong. What did you do? Describe a time when u did not agree with ur boss or an employee. What did u do? How did u handle it? Describe how you keep track of your own weekly activities. They ask questions that will tell them if u can work in a team, be trustworthy, can multitask and prioritize, can build a trusting relationship with patients/residents.

I wouldn't include it. Employers want to see that you have a steady work history. They don't want to waste their time and money on someone that they think may not stick around long.

For the people who are in or have graduated from a nursing program, what was your GPA, ACT scores, and what school did you get into? I'm trying to figure out where I stand. I don't have a bad GPA, but I don't know if it's competitive enough. Thanks!
