I am now med certified at my job! I can give out medications! I worked my first full day today by myself and it was very nerve racking. My biggest fear was giving out the wrong medications to the wrong people, but the way we go about doing it, it's very difficult to do that unless you're illiterate. So basically I take care of a dozen residents, I administer meds, help with personal care, chart wt. and bp's, etc. I'm basically a nurse without nurses pay!
I tried something new and right now I like it. I am the type of person to be scared to venture out of my shell, especially after being a stay at home mom for the last 8 years.
Now if I enjoy this kind of work, I can get a job at the local hospital and they'll pay for me to go to nursing school.
