Hi all! I live in Denver, and am interested in becoming a CNA.
However, before training for a CNA career, I was wondering if there were a way to spend a day or two on the job with a CNA in the Denver area, to find out what exactly their work days are like. I've read descriptions and job ads (and forums like this one), but I can only imagine how different it is when you're actually working with patients and other medical staff. I also realize that there may be legal/medical issues with having a tag-along in a care-giving setting. If any of you have suggestions or advice, or could direct me to a more appropriate resource, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, feel free to e-mail me privately with any information.
Thanks a bunch!
