Hey guys, As some of you may now Im going into my Senior year of highschool (shock shock) I signed up for the Certified Nurses Assistant course, which really interested me, MY grandfather has had 2 strokes and major heart surgery, right now he is pretty much living in the past. I had driven to Mass. To take care of him (he lives with my aunt) while she went out.
I did have to brush his teeth, move him from toilet to bed (wheel chair), Change his clothes and everything, he really cant do much on his own.
How ever, before this I was thinking about the CNA training and working while im in highschool as a CNA and when I get out. I have done research on CNAs and what they do.
But helping out my grandfather really did make me realize what it was about, it was a little "stomach wrenching" I mean it is my grandfather but it really did interest me. I borrowed some CNA books and what not and read them, but still dont full understand what they do. The books and research did clear it up but I came to ask does anyone here have any experience as a CNA? If so could you tell me what thier "job" is?
Sorry post is so long. Just given ya the whole picture
