Becoming A Certified Nursing Assistant

Being in the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) class with Ms.Pennington is always interesting. We attend class every morning during the week from 9:00am.m to 11:30am. The main thing that we work on is all the procedures we need for the residents. But we also work on how to keep the resident safe, and comfortable. Being in the CNA class helps us move forward in the medical field.

My research centers around Mexican immigrant women working as certified nursing assistants (CNAs) in Bellingham, Washington. As the first line of care in eldercare institutions, CNAs spend more time with residents than any other staff members, performing the most intimate tasks. Belied by its low-wage, low-status ranking within the industry, the work of a CNA involves a great deal of skill and interpretation of the clients’ needs. Interestingly, positive scores for eldercare facilities in Washington have been associated with the presence of more immigrant caregivers, with the indication that this may come from the “motivation and characteristics of the workers themselves” (Acker et al. 2015, 665)”

CNA’s are in high demand. Unfortunately, there are usually far more positions open than there are applicants, as CNA’s are not among the higher paying positions available in the healthcare industry. However, these individuals can gain a tremendous wealth of knowledge by attending CNA classes, and they can build on this knowledge throughout their medical careers. At any rate, people who go through the classes have the chance to work in an environment that serves others, often in their worst times of need. CNA classes are an effective way of teaching people how to care for another individual.

All of the job responsibilities a CNA is required to complete can wear you out, but when you get to see that the patient having trust in you and feeling confident that you know what is best for them, is its own reward.

When I was a little kid I always dreamed of becoming a nurse I would always be nurses on television taking care of people and making them smile one of my biggest passion is to become a nurse. During high school I got the option to take a certified nursing assistant class throughout the class because everything that we needed to know but my teacher was not very good throughout clinicals she would only tell us stuff one time and she would never explain it we had to always figure it out by ourselves. The course was very challenging and when it came time to take our certified nursing assistant exam I felt really unprepared. Although I would always read my book and study the sections that she told us to and I would do good on my test and quizzes

The accumulation of my work experience combined with my unrelenting desire to understand more leads me to pursue a graduate degree with UCF’s Adult Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program. Every step in my nursing journey has built upon the previous role with the intention of gaining the knowledge and clinical skill set necessary to become the most effective patient advocate.

With this awareness when I began taking science courses at North Shore Community College, I found that the subject also fascinated me. The components of liking the hospital and material, had led me to the realization that I had a calling for the medical field.

I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with my future. The constant pressure of dealing with teachers, parents and guidance counselors asking what I was planning on for a career was enough to seriously get me thinking. After hearing there were local CNA classes, I signed up for the first class I was able to take after turning the required age of sixteen. Numerous hours in my bedroom studying and memorizing vocabulary took up the majority of my free time after my high school classes. During the class,

Nursing wasn’t something I felt I wanted to do, but rather something I needed to do for myself, and others. Throughout visits to the hospital and health clinics, my contact with the nurses has been the most memorable. I have encountered many nurses; some who seemed to have tunnel vision, and others where his or her passion was evident from first contact. These individuals not only did his or her job well, but also inspired me. From there I did research about the profession, in addition to asking directly how different nurses liked his or her job.

Pursuing a career as a nurse has been my primary goal since I was a child. I have been doing a lot of things that would help me get in and do well in the field of nursing in every way possible. Due to the extensive amount of my academic and professional work experiences, I am assured that I can do better than most people with the same goal.
