Amber_CNA
Member since December 18, 2011I am a 51 year old certified nursing assistant (CNA) at a nursing home. I work graveyard shift so I don't get as much sleep as I should. Most of my residents are long term care many have dementia.
I love my job and the residents. I tend to get more attached than I should. It is backbreaking work though and I go home with many aches and pains but it's worth it.
I cared for my Grandmother and kept her on home hospice for 2 years. She had dementia and was very paronoid and angry. Hard to deal with but it was a labor of love. That is what made me go into the line of work I am in now.
