House lead or becoming a CNA ?
I currently have two opportunities at hand to either become house lead in a new house at my current company as a DSP or leaving to work as a CNA at a different company.
I’m torn on what to do, as I love my job and my residents currently. However, eventually I would like to try to get my LPN but it would require me to have my CNA already. My options are doing a CNA program through a community college or I was offered a job after if I do it through a company near by as long as I work there for a year after the class/ training. The commitment is the only thing holding me back along with that it is a dollar less than what I’m making now.
Idk what other people’s experiences are as house lead and if the stress level is higher? Just trying to figure out if it’s something I should even take on if I eventually do want to do my LPN. I enjoy being a DSP but wish my experience and training carried over into being a CNA, since a lot of the work is similar in my case. I don’t know what the better or smarter choice would be.
