A Career As A Certified Nursing Assistant

One conversation that I have had with my co-workers and boss which was certainly a debatable topic was the pay of a CNA. Certified Nursing Assistants duties and responsibilities are basically care for the elderly as they are not able to do it themselves. This includes many things that most individuals would never do. I believe that CNA’s should be paid just as much as a nurse or LVN, and not minimum pay as it is such a hard job. Its not the same as working at the mall as a sales associate or a fast food place, and most times these jobs tend to get paid more. My boss who is an RN, certainly disagreed with me as she paid so much for her education, and I honestly understand that because I am working towards my BSN, its beyond expensive. She made

The career that I plan on pursing would hands down have to be Certified Nursing Assistant. Some people may wonder why I decided to settle with this profession so I guess we’ll just have to take a walk down memory lane. Ever since I was a little girl I love watching nurses work. I never really realized how much I wanted to be a Certified Nursing Assistant until my grandmother took sick at home she had home aids come and see her routinely. I watched my grandmother struggle with her health issues and I also watched how caring and proficient the nurses were towards my grandmother. Seeing my grandmother go through the things she went through definitely made it clear to me that I wanted to do in life. And that was helping all others just like my

Teenagers have enough stress as it is right? Adolescence is an awkward time of transition from childhood to adulthood which can be more than scary for most. Between spending time with family, making friends, doing homework, participating in sports or other recreational activities, and growing up in general, who has time to get a job? Although it can add to the stress of teenage life, getting a job has more pros than cons. My experience working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at Morgantown Care and Rehabilitation Center has been a learning experience about responsibility, patience, and compassion.

My job as a certified nursing aide or CNA is to give direct care both medical and non-medical to patients.

Some of the main equipment used to help me perform my job is gloves, masks, protective clothing (such as throw away gowns, hair nets, shoe covers), and face shields. These items are very important as a CNA and help protect you and the patient you are caring for. The largest piece of machinery or equipment I use is a lift, called a Hoyer

It is such a subject that I am unsure of how it fits into my life other than a class I took in high school.
