You're going to love being there but you also have to know, you're going to see a lot of sad sights. I've been a CNA, had to leave it alone. Very emotional but then you'll have a special reason for being there. I went to another home and got into dietary, loved it and became assistant. You can still interact with the residents, find what they like to eat, send them special treats and extras. As a CNA you can request those extras to make them happy, as long as it's on their menu list! You'll love it and congrats!! I wish I could go back to work but the bones wouldn't let me now. :oops: :-(
