: : Are there many male CNAs, and is it a good field for a male to be in?
: YES, Where I work, Male CNA's are abundant. Mostly on the Evening shift. WE have one or 2 that work days.
: (6 am to 2 pm)

: : What are the most rewarding aspect of the job, in your opinion?
: For me, everything is rewarding, Learning of the residents, their lives, what they were like, how they are now, Other Rewards are different as the day goes on.
: You learn compasion, and so many other things

: : What are the work environment like?
: I I am strictly 6-2 Mon- thursday off Frid Sat Sunday.
: I am PRN = as Needed but I am on schedule. Unless I say otherwise.
: I am a "floater" I am not assigned only one hall. I work them all,
: I am also a "trainer"

: I begin my Day at 6 depending on the hall, and start initial rounds of Cleaning and grooming and dressing the REsident.
: Getting them up for Breakfast. Taking Vitals when I can just before breakfast is served or after.

: AFTER BREAKFAST.
: I do my alloted showers. Shaves, etc. and After Breakfast, I do what I can do,
: otherwise. I hold off and try to accomplish it after lunch.
: I also put people back down to rest after breakfast, (some floors) and get them up again, before lunch, and back down again after lunch.

: : What is the best way to become a CNA, by going to school and get a certificate first, or is there another way
: For me, I thought there was only one way. to work at the Nursing home after I took my test there. BUT I am finding out. You can work in a nursing home about 4 months, uncertified as long as you plan to test etc. The Nursing home takes the chance of hiring. UNCERTIFIED'S and testing them when the Test is made available.
: in my case. I AM DOING just that. **I LET MY LICENSE EXPIRE** I am considered Uncertified but have Certified Expierience. I don't know the Nursing Home like the Back of my hand,. but by working all floors, I get a good feel for it.
