 :sir ken;   :bow; :guitar: Honey, being a CNA in a nursing home is about as safe as putting your child in a filthy grocery cart at your local market and using the public pen the cashier (who has a cold) gives you to sign your debit receipt. You will be taught to use "universal precautions", in otherwords, you will be treating EVERYONE as if they had a deadly contagious disease! EVERYONE = Universal....
