What is it like working as a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA)?
August 2016
It is a physically demanding job.
Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA):
Pros: The chance to work with new faces and new people and learn about my job and how to handle stress.
Cons: It is very demanding and can be a job where little to no appreciation is given. This is a job that you have to do because you love, any other reason will leave you wanting badly.

Just Do It.
Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA):
With so many different agencies running CNAs as well as nursing homes, hospitals, etc. It's easy for a new CNA to get the impression that they need a boss, a manager or an agency of some sort. It's really not true. Once you have your license you can easily (and legally) just print up some business cards, stick an ad on craigslist and seek the employer/employment situation you most prefer. For me I care for a brain injured child in her own home for 20 hours per week. I could easily take on another patient with similar circumstances - whether another child or a senior. I could also work part time in a hospital, hospice or nursing home setting. The point here is that once you have your license you really can do things pretty much your own way. I think this is something many CNAs don't consider - the fact that you are a licensed professional allowed to provide services for a fee WITHOUT an umbrella organization managing you and claiming a large portion of your money.

That so many nurses have no respect for the c.n.s's.

Stay to yourself don't tell anyone your home life.
