honestly becoming a Cna was the best decision I have ever made in my entire life. since I was 14 all I wanted to do was become a pediatrics nurse, this is just one step closer to having the dream job I wanted. becoming a Cna is difficult I can tell you that, but also a LPN and Rn and everything above a Cna is hard. my mother is going through Rn school right now and its gonna take her 6 years to finish these classes. all that matters though is us taking care of patients that really are going through tough times

Hi, Emma!
I am not a CNA, however, I always find myself wanting to find groups where I can be around other individuals in my career field. I would recommend heading to Facebook, if you have one, and searching for some group pages where CNAs congregate to discuss different aspects of the job. I know Reddit is also another great source to find genuine people discussing genuine things. I'll attach a link to a Reddit forum I found that is filled with personal responses from active CNAs. I hope this helps somewhat!
