Confusion about the job
I just landed my first CNA job at a SNF and have been lurking on this subreddit to figure out what the day-to-day will look like. From what I’ve seen, I don’t really understand how timing and tasks work. Like how do you know what to do? When you are assigned residents, how do you know what each one needs and when they need it? I know a lot of this confusion will be sorted out when I do my orientation, but I’d like to get a better idea of if I can handle this beforehand. I’m a very task-oriented person and prefer things to be done in a certain order, so I worry that I’ll start the job and just not know what to do.
Hopefully some of this made sense lol. If I could just hear what someone does when they clock in to the time they clock out, that would help ease my worries.
