SHOW NOTES
Internship
•If you're interested in nursing, get your CNA certification, get a job working in a nursing home or assisted living home health care, and get your feet wet.
•Understand if this is something that you want to do. Too many young people go into nursing school and become nurses, only to realize they didn't want to be nurses.
The difference between a CNA and other nurses
•CNA stands for Certified Nursing Assistant. You are the eyes and ears of the nurse.
•A lot of times, the CNA takes care of the patients and does the basic care like taking them to the bathroom, helping them bathe, helping them get dressed, and sometimes feeding someone.
•The CNA's role is very critical and a lot of what the CNA does and how they document what they do can impact how a legal case comes out.
•The role of the CNA is very important and it's the entryway into the healthcare field for a lot of people.
•They are not responsible for the actual plan of care, but they can give input into it. But it's the registered nurse (RN) that develops a plan of care for the patient.
Finding a legit CNA program
•Start by finding your department of health or state board of nursing website.
•Make sure that the program we're looking at is on the accredited list.
•Look at how the classes are structured and the learning style.
The earning potential for a CNA
•This is a good time to be in healthcare because everybody's short-staffed, so they're paying more.
•You can start your career as a CNA and make up to $18 an hour.
Mentorship
•Look for those opportunities in your community that can help you go further.
•If you're thinking of being in any type of STEM fields or medical, etc. Take the hard classes, and don't be afraid to try.
•Take the extra English class because a lot of what you need to do is communication, and writing. Take the science class and learn about it and also do your research.
•You could always volunteer at a nursing home passing out water.
One Major Key to Success
•Set your intention.
•Always be open to new opportunities.
The Nurse Shark Academy
•A formal coaching program that takes you from idea to launch with six sessions that work you through building your business plan.
•If you can write a nursing care plan, you can write a business plan.
•This isn't some dried-up business plan that people think of; this is a plan for your business with all the steps being put in place.
•If you don't have a plan of what vision you have for your business, you're going to be easily distracted.
•Other nurses can have their own businesses and let people know that nurses can be business owners as well.
