How to Become a Certified Nursing Assistant CNA
I am doing a senior class project on "how to become a certified nursing assistant (CNA)" for a mock job fair that we were doing at the school. I had to find out everything that I could and how you come about picking this job for career.
It was a good idea for someones future because health care is something that will always be around. I decided to go to the local hospital to get some information for my report.
The woman that I talked to on the phone told me that if I wanted to that I could come in this Saturday and she would put me in some student scrubs and do "A day in the life of" kind if thing.

I was really excited about that because I could follow the current students around during their rounds and see exactly what they do on a daily basis. I told her that I would be delighted to do that and I thanked her a lot for being so helpful.
The local news was going to cover this event at our high school and I was picked as one of the kids to be interviewed so I had to make sure I have all of the facts straight and make sure that I am knowledgeable in my job choice.
I picked this job off of the list because it was not your four year college. A lot of people these days can not afford or do not want to take the time for the four years.
The job that I picked had a two year degree and some you could get in as little as a few short months. Some people were in to that kind of training. Some even offered the on site training.

When Saturday came around I got up with great anticipation for the day. When I arrived at the hospital I felt so grown up. I wondered what it would be like to be an adult and go to work everyday.
I myself was not even sure that sure what I would want to do for my future. Maybe this would persuade me in the medical field. I walked into the nurses station to begin my day. I was set up with one of the hospitals CNA's. She gave me a clip board and said for me to follow her. The news loved that I did such good research on my job. I got an A.
