November 16,2013 was the last day I was going to be at the facility before my thanksgiving break. I just went back to the facility on December 7,2013 at 650am. On that Saturday we all met in the lobby because the break room was freezing cold. Everyone was eating their breakfast while we were waiting for all the students to arrive. Once everyone arrived at Gordon Lane our instructor Mrs.Wulff handed out the schedules. She assigned me with a CNA named Erma. Erma and I were passing out the food trays and giving out coffee to the residents that wanted some. The rooms that I was assigned to were in the front. Erma assigned me to do bed making and brief changing. Once I was finished doing that for every room Erma let me do some bed baths. When all the residents were clean and looked nice I took them to the activity room. There was a church service going on in the activity room. Once the church service was finished it was time for lunch. At lunch all of the students go to the activity room (also known as the dinning room) and start to set up tables. To set up tables we put a green or red table cloth on and a center piece on each table. Every month the center piece change. After lunch all the resident were watching the Christmas movie " Home Alone'' in the activity room. That was the last thing that day at the facility. It was my first time being there and there wasn't much to do.

November 16,2013 was the second day at the facility. I was there from seven in the morning to three in the afternoon. I did bed making, brief changing, feeding, call lights, and more. My CNA trainers name was Emelina. She helped me with so much. I did a a bed bath on a resident in room 8A. It was a good experience because it was my first time doing that on a resident. I still haven't given a resident a bath. Because it was a Saturday we go to feed them breakfast and lunch. During breakfast many residents like to eat in their room therefore we took took the trays to their room. After they eat their breakfast we change them and get them all cleaned up for their daily activity. The daily activity that they had for that day was bingo. Some of us got to play bingo with them.
