@TaylorRumsey Where in the US is a 15-year-old allowed to be a CNA? I don't even know many 15 year olds that can take a job at Chick-Fil-A.
I wouldn't want a minor caring for my family member. It's just way too involved and demanding. Just saying.
(Yes, I know that your post is 2 years old.)

Also...what kind of school is this? Look at 0:49...that was one of the worst transfers I have ever seen. Poor body mechanics. Not safe for the practitioner or the patient.

I was a CNA. I quit being a CNA because I got my license to be a COTA. Being a CNA is HARD WORK. The lifting, the turning, the messy work, the ungrateful patients, the uncooperative, rude nurses, the unreasonable caseloads, the VERY low pay...this job is a stepping stone for nursing (which is not much better), and nothing more. I'm not saying that you shouldn't do this job, I'm just warning you: it's not all about sharing stories with the elderly or playing cards. It is very hard work.

What I mean by "cover your ass" is keep a seperate notebook like a journal that is just for work. Each page can be for a different day and in it write down any issues, incidents, accidents, etc with patients or co-workers while its fresh in your memory. Sometimes an issue at work can be brought to your attention a week, a month, or even 2 months afterwards and you have forgotten all the DETAILS. This way with your journal you can backtrack effectively if you are questioned about something.

Its just human nature for some people to hate i guess lol. Speaking of that it also happens on the job too. Dont give anyone at work anything to fight you with. We all need our jobs in this economy so if you get hired as a CNA, during the first 90 days do everything you can to not be late and not call in. Reliability is more than half of the job depending on where you work. Take a 3x5 card and write reminders for yourself on it if you are prone to forgetting things to avoid patient complaints.
