CNA Mid-Year Report: The Certified Nursing Assistant

After collecting the surveys I distributed, I found very vital data. I surveyed all competent residents and all employed CNAs. The surveys asked questions based on the quality of care provided and the stress levels from this issue. Many of the residents commented that they would like CNAs to stop in and visit. Some of the CNAs said they could complete all the tasks if a third CNA was on duty.

Becoming a Nurse’s Assistant doesn’t require a whole lot of extensive education but a lot of hard work is needed to be put into this career. Being a Nurse’s Assistant requires you to have a high school diploma and specific training in certain fields (BLS.gov). So you will have to have graduated from high school obviously, but you will also need to have training in the nursing fields. You can start training while you’re still in school. Which would mean you could have a job as soon as you graduate or even before. You can take basic classes in high school and taking health occupation classes, and taking health and nurse’s aide training (MSHealth.org). You can talk to your school counselor to see about signing up for these classes, or you can

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.

“Why her?”, “What makes her special?” I imagine these are some of the questions you are trying to answer as you consider my application. I could say that I am a hard worker, but who wouldn't say that about themselves? I could tell you that I am just totally awesome, but that would be subjective. I don’t know what you imagine as the perfect candidate and I don’t know if I’m that. But I ask you to please have an open mind as I tell you about myself. I’m not perfect, but I know that I would be a strong asset if granted the opportunity to enroll into the Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) program that our McKinney Independent School District (MISD) is offering to

My chosen career is a registered nurse with a specialty in neonatal medicine. I am very passionate about helping others and learning how the human body all works together as a coordinated system. Currently I work as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) where I assist elderly residents with tasks that vary from getting dressed to making sure they are as comfortable as possible. While I thoroughly enjoy working with all of the residents at the nursing home, I am ready for a new challenge. I would like to gain more knowledge in order to help even more people with a wide variety of issues. I am interested to see what it takes to move up the career ladder in the nursing field. As well as what to expect as far as education requirements, salary, and the outlook of nursing jobs. In order to learn more about registered nursing I have scheduled an interview with Stacy Helmuth, a registered nurse at Shawnee Mission Medical Center.

I currently work as a state tested nursing aide at Bowling Green Care Center. I recently went from second shift to first shift because of school. All of the first shift STNA 's are in their late thirty’s, mid-forties, making me the youngest on first shift. Because of that, I get walked on a lot. I always get left to do things by myself including the two assist. There is no such thing as teamwork at the Care Center unless you 're a part of the "first shift clique." This place is honestly worse than high school.

CNA Not Getting Enough TrainingIn the article “Systematic Review of studies of staffing and quality in nursing homes” , states thatthe less you get paid the less work you’ll do. Over and over again they have done studies aboutthe quality care and the level off nursing care in the nursing homes. Some have proven to not getenough training and help.How much the nurses get paid is how much they care. They are easily to leave and go toanother job. That is why most places there turnover rate for CAN’s is a big amount. It shows themore training you have the better of a job you do. You work all your life as a RN because youcan’t go in higher, you are going to be upset. They say we need CAN because there turnover rateis a lot higher than other nurses.
