This semester Kate is spending half her school days at the Caps facility in her CNA class. At the end of the semester she will earn her cNA (certified nursing assistant) certification.
She has learned all sorts of things and then spends a few weeks at a time in Cinincals. So far she has done 2 weeks of clinicals at a nursing home. In her first day she has to clean up a man who had just taken laxatives. He has literally continuing to go to the bathroom as she cleaned him up. She came home and declared she was going into Business, not medicine!!
Since, she has changed a colostomy bag, kept patients comfortable, talked with many patients, onerous with lots of assisting and cleaning.
She spends her Fridays at a memory care center and comes back with great stories.
While Kate may no longer be interested in a career in medicine, she’s glad she did this program to better help her narrow her future career path!
