    Thank you for this! I’m turning 50 this yr, I have a 27 yr old son w/special needs and I’ve basically given my life to him. I decided the year I turned 50 to do something for myself so I applied to a CNA program and start next month. I can’t wait! But I’m nervous. I appreciate your videos and your lipstick in the beginning part is so beautiful. You’re gorgeous!

Even having a spare pair is useful, the washing of the hands is gonna happen after care anyways. Like cleaning up a BM, you’re almost done cleaning them and you get some on your glove. You’re gonna wanna take that off and glove back up again!! Might as well wear two pairs so you’re not scrambling for another pair mid care

    I want to be the equivalent of a CNA in my country when I'm finished with this school year, but there's so many people who say that it's a bad degree and that aspiring CNAs should give up. And my parents also think it's not a good idea. How do I deal with people like that? I'm really passionate about helping people, so I do wanna be a CNA. It's just others being negative.

    • @auhneja2164

      Firstly, always remember to do what makes you feel your best. Also, I see CNA as a steppingstone to whatever else you want to do in the healthcare field. So there’s always room for growth and elevation. However, ultimately you always have to do what makes you feel your best and do not allow someone else to decide that for you.

    what is your opinion and advice about having knowledge of someone who says they are a CNA but their license is expired. I feel they are no longer a CNA. Major issue is when I search their name in their state, there is no record. I looked up random last names and saw expired. So if she is expired there would be a record but nothing is listed. So they are lying or they were in another state but my gut says they never were. I asked for documentation but have been waiting days so that also gives me red flags.

    As far as double-gloving goes, as a phlebotomist, it was considered malpractice, because it actually causes most gloves to tear (like condoms) and it wastes money. HOWEVER, it looks like you’re using those super soft floppy gloves, which behave differently.
    Double-gloving just gives me the same bad vibes as those people who tear the finger off. Like, why even put on gloves if ur just gonna tear the finger off?

      I've taught students of different health care roles MAs, CNAs, RNs and RN to BSN, and I believe you should be able to make the transition without any problems. They're two distinctly different roles with different types of tasks and responsibilities, but you already have a great foundation, so you should do fine ❤
