as cna's we are often the only human contact these people have. they are to the rest of society the living dead in most cases. the family wants to remember them as they were so they in effect no longer exist. fortunately we in our facility have no classes and the nurses interact with the cna's freely. at times with bonuses and overtime i am earning as much as the nurses. some cna' have an attitude of the residents as them - a different type of huminoid. i always remember that could be me just as easily one day and practically no one chooses such a circumstance.
