DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CNA STUDENT / FIRST WEEK OF CLASS

In this video I talk about the the CNA written test / skilled test to be certified as a CNA. I show what an overview of our classroom, also showing some of the skills we are learning.

[@frederickprice2118]

Graduated from a CNA program a month and a half ago. There's money out there for this short-term training like never before, especially traveling CNA which is my ultimate goal.

[@olgalcastillo5805]

Congratulations in graduating the program! I also just got my CNA licence, time to start looking for a job!

Currently driving making 20 a hour. I wanted to try something in the health Field because it’s always been on my mind just never just throws myself in it. I wanted something quick to get out of my current job but, I hear stories people say it’s 15 a hour that will hurt me lol. I really hope I am making the right decision before I jump into something.

[@olgalcastillo5805]

@@jeangrey2788 I think if it's something you've wanted to try, you should go for it. The pay may be lower but if you end up not liking it, you can always quit and go to another job. But what if it all works out and you end up studying for something else that's higher than a CNA. Also some schools offer the course during the day time or online or at night.

Hello. Im planning to enroll for cna class.. was the exam to become certified cna hard?

[@staywoke9238]

Finally, a bit of classroom activities shown!! Dang in these other vlogs they just run their mouth, drive, and eat. The guy cracked me up, the teacher was cool, and the gal in the background reminded me of Everest because I was in her convo too 🙂. Subbed and will watch the next one.

Thank you for the support, and yes they were the best to have as classmates!!! Everyone made the time go by supper fast that it wouldn’t feel like a 4hr class.

Hi! I wanna share the best news with you 💗 Romans 3:23 in the Bible says “ All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 6:23 says “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” God commands us in the 10 commandments to not have any other gods, to not make any idol/graven image, to not take the Lords name in vain, to keep the Sabbath day, honor our father and mother, not to murder, commit adultery, steal, lie, or covet. We have all broken Gods law and sinned. Sin leads to death and it makes us deserving of punishment, eternal separation from God in hell. Romans 5:8 “God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” God loves us so much! He loves us so much that He sent Jesus, His son, who is One with God, to save us. Jesus died to pay for our sins to atone for our sins in our place. He was crucified on a cross, mocked, beaten, and treated as though He were a criminal. Jesus never broke any law or sinned, He died so that we can be saved through Him. Jesus rose from the grave on the third day after His death, conquering death 💗 Roman’s 10:9-10 “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation” Salvation is a free gift from God to anyone who repents and places their faith in Jesus. John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” The Bible is Gods word and it helps us know who God truly is and how He wants us to follow Him 💗 Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are the gospels of Jesus. They record His miracles, teachings, death, and resurrection! God bless you and have a great night or day🌙
