Well, I started my class. There was an overflow of students and many on the waiting list. The information is quite medical in nature, so hopefully students have a grasp of basic anatomical and physiological terms. The instructors, all nurses themselves, are a "crack-up", but still impart all necessary information.
There is a lot of responsibility that the CNA has to perform. The crux of the matter is that patient is your focus, and to make there life as comfortable as possible while they are recovering. The CNA also takes vital signs, and reports changes to the nurse. Part of the job is knowledge, and part is TLC. I like both. I wonder if there is a TLC major in college? LOL
They went over end-of-life, which particularly interests me since I hope to do Hospice care. I find compassion, spirituality, and comfort in the thought and act of providing care for these patients and their families. I hope to provide conscientious, and loving care to all my patients.
'Til next time,
Stephanie
