Today I confirmed starting next week Monday I will be starting my extensive CNA course. While on the phone today lady told me good luck as it is a hard class. Now I'm so nervous and scared I've been out of school for a while and I have never done anything medical related before as I was a business major before. Can some of u guys who took the course advise me what to expect or dometrtjat may help me? It is a six weeks course and I'm taking it at a local community college. Anything I can study now before starting class will be greatly appreciated
I took the CNA class! It wasn't too hard it's just a lot of material in a short time frame! Just know you skills and soak up any information from the clinicals! I was so worried about the state exam and I wound up getting a 90 on it! Just take your time and study up on the material! You will be fine :)
Like many have mentioned is common sense, you will learn the basic skills, also if a patient is too heavy try to get some help esp hoyer lift etc other than that you'll enjoy the experience and if patients/residents offend you don't take it personally
