Daniel’s CNA Tips for Success!
1
Have patience and compassion. It is very important to have patience when working with clients and their family members. Having the heart to do this job.
2
Pay attention to details. When working with clients you want to make sure that you pay close attention to what your client is saying, and how they are behaving, especially if there are cognitive issues. If a client lives with family members, be sure to observe the interactions between clients and family members. Understand medical terminology. As a Certified Nurse Assistant, it is very important to learn and understand medical terminology. Examples of common medical terminology: Respiration (lungs), Cardiac (heart), and Aspirate (withdrawing of fluid, tissue or other substance, or the accidental swallowing of fluid or food in the lungs). Good verbal recall and understanding of medical terminology assists with the ability to convey medical information to nurses and even doctors on occasion, which is very important. Be a good listener. Remember that we are working with human beings. Therefore, it is imperative that you actively listen. As your client expresses his/her needs. Keep in mind that they may have something important they need to share, no matter how long it takes for them to tell you. Active listening makes your client feel important.

Daniel’s CNA Tips for Success!

Effective communication is KEY. Recognition of non-verbal messages Speak clearly, speak slowly, and ask the same questions of the clients you serve. Keep tone of voice pleasant Be able to follow protocol and work independently. Reading the plan of care prior to working with clients will help you learn more about his/her care needs. Follow all instructions provided by employer, family, and/or nurse. It assists with making sure the client receives the best care possible. Most of the time, you will be working alone in the home setting. Be sure to gather all the information you will need regarding the care needs of your client. Keep up on your physical fitness. Certified Nurse Assistant need strength and stamina for daily tasks like lifting and moving patients. Be sure to use good body mechanics to prevent injuries to the lower back, knees, etc. Take time for self-care, make sure to exercise, meditate, be still and relax. Keep all health appointments to help you remain healthy.
