Before I ever took the CNA class, I have worked many years as a medical assistant as well as helping both my grandmother and then my own mother when they were no longer able to care for themselves. I am patient, compassionate and empathetic. I also am very interested in medicine in general and like to keep abreast of new developments. My recent CNA experience has been very enlightening and a completely rewarding experience. Unfortunately there are too many patients assigned to each CNA to be as effective as a caregiver as one could be. I would like to work with one special patient instead.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
