When you think about the members of your care team you see most frequently, you may think of your certified nursing assistant (CNA). These selfless caregivers provide near-constant support for so many aspects of patients’ lives. This June 13-19, we celebrate Certified Nursing Assistants Week.
And what that meant is that the training had to fall to the busy nursing supervisors or even the staff nurses. And I knew that the training for the caregiver’s aids and CNAs would be what suffered. And then now that’s passed down to caregivers in a lot of settings, right? Remember this is ancient history.
You know, some caregivers and family members take this withdrawal personally. Okay, another sign to look for is a change in their vitalsigns. As a person approaches death, and we're talking active dying now, their vitalsigns will get a little goofy. We made the decision to bring her home to live with us.
Although most nursing jobs do require some level of experience, there are a few exceptions.For example, many hospitals are always in need of student nurses to help with things like personal care, checking vitalsigns and documentation. One way is to look for entry-level positions that do not require experience.
