HS student graduates as a certified nursing assistant

[shannonsvanity]

I got my cna the month after I turned 16

[Peiazjaeh]

I'm wanting to do this as well :) 

[Lene6733]

I'm 18 and i just graduated high school now i wanna be a CNA :)

[pookiroo]

the media always promotes that there a jobs in nursing, but this vid says it's competitive which means to me that there is a scarcity of jobs here too...

[tomx1704]

0:48 can we say hypothermic?!!

[xXBlackTeddyBearXx]

I get to take a free class at my high school. :D If I pass the class and the CNA test, then I get to become a CNA! Then I'm going to move onto a Nurse Anesthetist. ^_^

[rcarnes1988]

CNA's are nurses as well just on a lower level just like you dont have to be a RN to be a nurse i dont know whom told you that CNA's were not nurses.

[HagiLover1]

im 16 and im a CNA. i work at a nursing home.

[musicgirl999]

@HagiLover1 awesome!! do CNA's give injections, IVs, or draw blood as well?

[slipNslideGoon]

@musicgirl999 nope

[jgill585]

LISTEN CAREFULLY! The video NEVER said she was a nurse. They clearly said she was a certified nursing assistant.

And the anyone can be a CNA? Go take the State exam and see if you can?

See if you can stand the job for one day at a nursing home.

[labarnhardt]

@jgill585 Nursing homes are rough... but I loved working with the patients. I think the worst thing about working in a nursing home is that I would get attached to the residents and then they would pass away.

[annoyedbitch01]

why wont this video let me reply to other fucking comments its so annoying?

[brownsugar2348]

I became a PCT at 19 and now I'm in Nursing School. I love every minute of it. :)

[doob234]

Whats a pct? Was 19 to young to be a pct or something??Because I just became a cna last week and I'm 19 and I don't want people thinking I'm too young to do it, I was told that I was old enough and Besides, I'm almost 20 anyways, I will be this year.

[doob234]

Whats a pct? is 19 too young to be that or something? because I'm a cna and I'm almost 20 and I was told that 19 was old enough to be a cna I just don't want to be told that 19 or 20 is too young, especially to be a cna.

[annoyedbitch01]

Is there something wrong with being Pct at 19? Is it unusual or something?

[angelcarmichael]

That's really good that you loved being a PCT and that you also love nursing school. All i hear from everyone else that work as CNA's or nurses talk about how much they hate the job. If they hate it so much, i don't know why they stick with it.

[brainsnbeauty006]

AWESOME!! I did the same thing in hs! excellent opprotunity to do if you can. I was a cna@17 now Im 21 almost done with the nursing program. CNA jobs can be stressful but it opens doors and your always in need!!

[taliax2010]

I have no idea how she's already a nurse at 17. That is so cool! I'm 16 and i'm starting my senior year this fall and I am hoping I can take college courses after-school or online [pre-nursing] at a community college so then I can just transfer to a 4 year school. I wish there's a way I can acomplish this faster because I cannot wait to become a nurse and help other people that need my help!

Can't Wait!!!!

[doob234]

the minimum age to be a NURSING ASSISTANCE, is 17. she a nursing assitance. Its a job, you can do full time or partime. I'm older than her, And I'm getting ready to be a nursing assitance. You can be a cna at 17. I think 15 is too young though and there are 15 year olds doing it. Really, the minimum age should be 18, to do those things. Because thats the legal age. But You can't be a real nurse(such as an RN) until you get a degree in it, I think You have to be way over 18 to be an Rn.,

[doob234]

you can be a certified nursing assistance at 17.

[doob234]

at 17, you can be a nursing assistance. But as far as being a "real nurse" such as RN. I'm preety sure you have a degree and way over 17. all nursing assitance do is just care for the patient, feed them. maybe when you turn 17, you can be a nursing assitance.

[doob234]

you can be a cna at 17 if you want. But an Rn, I'm sure you have to hae a degree in and way over 17. Nursing assitances just takes care of the patient, give them bed baths, Feed them. I'm going to be doing that soon. I need that second job. And I love to help people

[doob234]

shes not a nurse shes a "nurses assistant", not a real nurse, you're helping the nurse with their duties anyone can become a nursing assistant, you have to be atleast 17 to be one.

[doob234]

Shes a nurses assistant,not a nurse, Anyone can be a nursing assistant, you have to be atleast 17.Shes helping the "real" nurse with their duties

[doob234]

Shes not nurse, shes a "nurses assistant" She helps the nurse with their duties, and take care of patients, but shes not a real nurse. Anyone can be a cna, you can be 17 to do this.

[doob234]

shes not a nurse shes a nursing assistant

[WonderWomanFan4life]

@doob234

yeah anyone can get CNA or Cpr .. heck the Ymca Red Cross holds those classes all the time.

Beautiful Girl but in reality i think its a promo for the school. She is gorgeous i thought she was studying at a university or training for SAT or something. But to each his own.

[angelcarmichael]

Can someone please post up a video on the training of Dialysis Technicians.

[RobotBadger]

A year after I graduated HS, they started making students aware that you should go into health in order to make money. High schools put in nursing programs. None of that stuff was around when I graduated. Today's youth has a bit of an unfair advantage in the job market. For this girl, she has more than CNA. Someone, maybe her parents, determined her fate into these various certifications. I don't find it "normal" that she succeeded this well. Something unusual about this. spoonfeeding fatalism?

[jbcarlso]

Do you want an MD or a NURSE to administer your anesthesia? Seriously. Think about it.

[swimmerjoey]

You are a idiot. A CRNA, certified registered nurse anesthetist preforms anesthesia not a CNA. and trust me the crna's go to school for 8 years just like MD would. I am one and trust me they dont pay me $230,000 for nothing.

[littledrugaddict]

CRNA's do not go to school for 8 years

[Jubilayhee]

CRNAs go to school for 28 months after their four year degree, with no breaks. Medical school is four years but it has the traditional school breaks. It is about 7 years in total time.

[pup101]

o yeah well imma be a licensed practical nurse and will get paid more :P at 18 so eat that :P.... 18 is the youngest since you have to have graduated school ...but the program can be joined in high school senior year :P

[knash2011]

damn that girl has her shit together!

[rainshadow000]

Do I have to take courses like Biology in highschool?

Is the medical terminology training difficult?

I would like to be a certified nurse but not sure where to go and where to start

[evanpilot]

i am 17 and i am also a cna you can take an ROP class (Regional Occupational Program) there are many fields to go into and you don't have to leave school. in fact i finished and became a CNA with out graduating from high school.

[sarahelizabeth1989]

Do you know if someone could be a CNA while getting your GED?

[OklahomaHorizonTV]

Don't know. It would probably be up to the school.

[angelcarmichael]

Is CNA and Patient Care Technician stressful jobs.

[kirz778]

Yes CNA and PCT jobs can be stressful meaning you will have some very stressful moments but the stress does not last the whole 8 hours. You will need a lot of patience, compassion, and some type of mental tricks to keep you calm during the stressful moments. The stress mainly comes from the lack of teamwork and racing against the clock. 50% of the job is in not being late and not calling off (reliability). Its best if you can work 12hr. shifts which gives u more time off so u wont burn out.

[pup101]

yeah

[pup101]

yes

[angelcarmichael]

CNA is a field that i am thinking about attending school for this summer. Since you are a CNA i was wondering if you can tell me whether or not you like your job.

[pup101]

im 17 too im also in a similar program but im going to be a licensed practical nurse... why dont you go for that instead??? they get paid better :P but the program can probably only be taken in senior year and will probably last 7 more months after graduating since you need a HS diploma

[rareu4532]

Nurses always kind =), but its so boring in hospitals!! there nothing to do! just sleep all the time! =((....

[whitekryptonite91]

woooooooah i didnt know u can apply to tech schools like that. i tought u have to be older or have some HS degree!

omg im gona do this :D

[taylorbear]

i am thinking about doing that

[OklahomaHorizonTV]

Go for it!

[chessnuts101]

aww juniour year shes soo luky only seventeen i wish i could leave school and do that..but its different in australia i could leave after grade 11 and then go to tafe and become a nurses assitant then after 3 years i could become a redgisterd nurse?

[ophachew]

Did she know someone that did that?

[OklahomaHorizonTV]

Did what?

[ophachew]

Someone in the medical or related fields?

[OklahomaHorizonTV]

No. She wanted to go into the medical field and enrolled at Central Tech in Drumright while she was in high school.
