I'd like to extend my congratulations to Social Hurricane for passing her CNA test. She is now a fully licensed Certified Nursing Assistant. Yay!
This is something she's long thought she'd like to do. She's spent a fair amount of time in hospitals (including a lengthy stay after getting hit by a car a few years ago) and has learned to very much appreciate the work CNAs do. Plus she's compassionate, enjoys being with people, and has never been scared of hard (or dirty) work.
On the downside she does have some learning disabilities and doesn't do well in an academic environment. She didn't pass the test the first time through, despite lots of studying, and that took the wind out of her sails for a while. But she regrouped, and recently took it again, and this time she was determined to blow it out of the water.
And she studied and prepared like nobody's business this time around, and successfully passed it. I'm very proud of her; this was a bit of an uphill climb.
So she's going to be starting in the healthcare field--there are numerous job possibilities, and she's hoping this will be the doorway to further opportunities. And hey, if she decides that health care isn't for her, at least she'll have a VERY marketable skill while she IS deciding what she wants to do with her life.
Way to go, Hurricane!
Hope all's well out there, friends, and God bless.
