:typingHi, I plan to take cna classes as soon as possible. I am sooo excited! I just cant wait to do what I feel like I was put on this earth to do, And that is help people! I luv it!:redbeathe I have so many questions! first, I just found out I had to have a background check which is I've already started on. I was wondering what else will I need. such as shots, scrubs and other stuff to get me started. second, I want to know Is the cna test easy and after passing it how soon will i receive my certificate? 3rd, I would like to know. what shifts do you all think is the best shifts to work? I am used to working overnights, and I feel that overnights would be better, considering that I would think that most of the residents will be asleep. I think the morning shift would be hardest for me because I am not a morning person at all!!! I would also like to know. how many days a week and hours a day do cnas usually work? And last but not least, I would like to know, is it possible to catch any serious infections or diseases from patient? oh, yeah a few more questions.. Do anyone think its possible that a cna can get a job in a psychiatric hospital? And also I'm 21, Are there many young cnas around my age? Who do you think employers are most interested in hiring? Younger people or older? Sorry so many questions. but I felt it would be easier than making many threads and trying to keep up with them all. Thanks for any answers your able to give!!
