I get asked all the time "why would you want to be a CNA, why would you want to work in such a stressful field ?" My answer to them is "Because I love my job," but the true answer goes way deeper than that. I love my job because of all of the little things; The smiles that you get when you walk into a room, hearing a typically nonverbal person answering you, someone calming down just by the sound of your voice and most importantly all of the thank you's said by families. Being a CNA is investing all of your time into someone you once never knew but now not being able to imagine your life without them. My advice to all future CNAs would be, wear your bruises with pride knowing that you gave it your all.
