Why You Want To Be A Cna. I personally know a few people who experienced exactly the same thing in their lives…. When an interviewer for a nursing position asks you questions about why you became a nurse, he or she is trying to learn the personal reasons you may have for becoming a nurse.
People love stories… Maybe someone you loved passed away recently. I want to become a CNA because just a few weeks ago, my mother whom I love sooooo much, was in the hospital for the first time in my lifetime. This impact alone is the motivation for many people to become a CNA, and is why many people make being a CNA their long term career.
If you have been thinking about beginning a nursing career, you may want to consider becoming a CNA first.
You will gain an understanding of what it's like to be a CNA.
If you become a CNA you will have the opportunity to make a real difference in the life of a person suffering from an illness, disease or disability. Certified nursing assistants provide basic nursing duties for patients who are temporarily or permanently unable to care for themselves. And as a certified nursing assistant, you'll not only help put your patients at ease, but you'll check and record their vital signs, ask them about their conditions, and create and maintain records.
