a few qs's tho for CNA's is the training hard, and what do you usually do in the training when you do clinicals? do you work with the residents right away or what? someone help me out i need some info before my class starts, thank you
Training isn't too bad; be prepared for lifting! Need I say good body mechanics?! CNA's do vitals, wash the patients, assist with dressing, feed/assist with feeding, toilet the residents..... You will literally be my 'eyes and ears' when you get on the floor. Anything that seems abnormal for a particular person should be reported to the nurse. Hopefully, you'll get a report on anything that's going on with your residents, but....I have had days where I can't always track an aid down due to stuff going on in the office.
