How safe is a career as a CNA in a nursing home?
Asked by Irish Cat
I am looking into getting a job as a CNA at a local nursing home, but I am a little frightened of catching a disease or bringing it home to my 3 year old daughter. When I did the walk through of the nursing home there was a woman who was extremely contagious and required you to put full nursing garb on, mask etc. Could you please tell me how safe this profession really is, as this information will weigh heavily if I accept the job or not. Thank you!!
