Tips for a Medical Assistant / Certified Nursing Assistant

[want to be an rn]

I'm embarking on my journey as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and would greatly appreciate any tips or advice from those with experience in this field. What are some essential things I should keep in mind as I begin this new chapter? Are there specific skills or insights that could help make my transition smoother? Thank you in advance for your guidance!
