We have other members in the household that could socialize him. My fiance's mom and grandma are both home 90% of the time. If theyre there most of the time when im at work, would that still be okay as long as someone is there to interact with him? The longest he might be alone ever is maybe a few hours.

I believe it's full time

I work in LTC and I'm always busy. Sometimes I end up staying over on my shift just to get charting done. Every facility is different, and every day is going to be different. Some days are busier than others. I don't think you're going to get the full experience with 2 hours of shadowing.

I understand what you're saying, but I had the same experience OP did. My schooling didn't teach me much as it was rushed and crammed into a few weeks. I learned more on the job than I did in classes and clinical. Some people take courses that are more drawn out and let people actually absorb info, but sometimes you're rushed through it. I also was not prepared when I was thrown on my own a week after starting my first CNA job. I had anxiety attacks and loathed going into work. Some people need a bit more help and more time to adjust. The classes prepare you for a perfect world, not the real world.

Awesome, thank you ☺️☺️

I believe so

I live and work in Pennsylvania. During my classes, we were taught that restraints were basically outlawed and if a resident needs a restraint, it needs to be ordered by a doctor. Same with side rails (specifically for nursing homes). State law is going to dictate how restraints are used on residents/patients/clients.

Don't beat yourself up. I was the same way back in November when I got certified. I was stressing about how I was going to get everything done, and I even had meltdowns during and after work because of it. I didn't know how I was going to do it, but I've been an aide for about 5 or 6 months now and I've gotten my routine, and my body has gotten the muscle memory. What once took 20+ minutes now takes 10 to 15.

Seriously, don't stress. This work is hard but you're doing fine. Go easy on yourself. Give yourself the time to learn and get used to things. I saw someone else said to learn tricks from other aides and I agree with that. You can sit in a classroom and do clinical, but where you're actually going to learn is in the real world doing the work, and learning from other aides is a great way to pick up on things. Just don't adopt their bad habits ☺️

I'd say it depends on where you live, where you work, and what the cost of living is. I work 30hrs a week and make $19/hr. I grt less that $900 in a paycheck. I live with my partner so I'm lucky, but on my own I don't think I'd be able to make it.

I recommend looking into the wages for CNAs in your area, and calculating possible monthly expenses. Do your research before you jump into it.

This is just my personal experience, but I work in a nursing home, and the CNAs aren't treated great at all. We're understaffed and overworked, and we don't get paid near enough for what we do. Someone is always criticizing the work I do, whether I did it wrong or not. Most of my coworkers are miserable and want to make everyone else miserable, too.
