I love what I do! I became a CNA at 19yrs. old, I was young and wanted to help people. I wasn't exactly sure what my requirements were at that time and was very nervous and shy. Lol.. But I guess me starting out in that frame of mind and wanting to prove myself and (not screw up of course).. My heart mended with the opportunity to really make a difference! Not only care for the residents but to make an impression on someone's day. Talk to them, ACTUALLY wash and shower them. Enjoy and make jokes with accidents that happen, let them realize they are still wanted and loved by people and that they r never forgotten.
