Congratulations! You’ve been hired as a CNA;
now it’s time to show your new job your skills. Read on to learn 3 ways
to advance your career as a CNA. With these tips, you’ll be
climbing the ladder towards your goals.
Be Professional
Some healthcare facilities can vary in levels of professionalism,
especially smaller offices. Never settle for unprofessional behavior.
Dress and act according to the job you want to have, not just the job
you have. You should always be courteous to coworkers and supervisors,
even when you disagree. You should know what you are supposed to be
doing and execute your tasks to the best of your ability. If you have
questions, ask for help. Leave slang conversations, unkempt appearances,
and drama at home. When you’re at work, be the best version of
yourself, and you will find plenty of opportunities for advancement.
Be Dependable
Ask anyone in management what their hardest job is, and they will all
tell you the same thing: finding reliable help. Show up when you are
supposed to show up, and be ready to work when you get there. If you
must miss work for illness or emergency, contact your supervisor as soon
as possible so he or she can cover your duties. Showing up really is
half the battle, but be dependable once you’re there, and supervisors
will take notice. Be flexible and reliable in your execution of tasks,
and you will do well.
Keep Learning
One of the most important aspects of advancing your career as a CNA is to continue learning while you work. The healthcare
industry is changing dramatically, and those who take the time to stay
current with best practices, emerging technologies, and new forms of
care will have an advantage over their peers when it comes to
advancement opportunities.
