I’m in clinicals right now and honestly I feel as if I’m lacking confidence in my skills. I can def talk to a patient but when it comes to assisting a patient with a modified bed bath or even a diaper change, it all goes out the window. I can do it, I just feel like I’m half-assing it and slow af. Feel like I’m disappointing my CNA mentors lol. Any advice?

I lack confidence in myself, always have, so I’m not sure what to do. I love the theory of being a CNA and the skills, I just feel intimidated by patient care sometimes because I’m surrounded by the pros!

Did anybody here get this skill with being HOH? I’m struggling to find it still to be quite honest and not sure if I should ask for an accommodation. I can’t hear from one ear so I don’t want to be failed for a disability I cannot control.
