CNA

For CNA we go to the nursing home; which I hate by the way. At the nursing home I see the craziest things, and the nastiest! At the nursing, my CNA teacher makes me do the worst things in the world, well I feel like they are. Things like wash the residents or clean up nasty fluids; which make me feel sick. Another thing I dislike is getting heavy patients that I cannot turn on their side because they are too big for me. Then my back ends up hurting after I can for them. Some days are better than others though because I get easier patients; that I can lift easier or care for easier because they help out. Feeding them is one of the few things I don’t find as hard. Most residents are pretty good eaters so they don’t give me trouble. I also don’t like bathing the residents because they have a habit of making bowel movements during their baths, which I hate, so much! I’m hoping that when I pass my test, and receive my certification I can find a CNA job that doesn’t involve dealing with these conditions. This experience at the nursing home has encouraged me to go to college and receive a degree in something that pays well but doesn’t involve these disturbing conditions. I’m looking at something in the medical field though, I like psychology, radiology, and am still looking at other careers in other fields like the business field or art field, like photography.
