Hey All,
I just started working as a nursing assistant in an assisted living facility.. It's rewarding, but tiring caring for 10+ people on your shift. My phone is constantly ringing, and I find myself running in circles to meet everyone's needs. Are there any other CNAs out there applying/in medical school?
I was wondering if you could share your experiences with me as they relate to med school?
For example, did the topic come up during interviews?
Was it viewed in a positive light?
I decided to become a CNA because I wanted a meaningful medical experience. I wanted to learn to become a better caregiver, if that makes sense. Certainly not for glamor. I have a lot of respect for the people I work with--it is a difficult job.
Best,
Fay
