What are some common questions for a CNA position in a hospital, and common questions for a CNA position in long-term care?
How many patients are normally assigned per CNA on a daily basis? Are there any patients that I have to directly interact with that I need to wear protective mask/glove and gown? Does your facility have risk of possible TB infection? Is it mandatory within facility for nurses to help the CNAs? Has your facility consistently received passing grades from the state? Honestly, you receive the better pay and treatment if you go with a home health agency, or an agency that places you in a hospital setting. They negotiate better pay and work conditions. CNAs work hard and are traditionally underpaid. They are oftentimes exposed to hazardous health conditions (TB, etc.) Nurses don't respect you. Honestly, you would be better off going to school to be an RN. They make all the money. Hope this helps! I used to be a CNA and I quit. "Keepin it real" Think about it! |
