Benner's Theory Of Hard Work

Benner's theory might not be accurate because people learn differently but it is a very realistic theory. My first job as a CNA probably took all the whole step, my first week of work was very scary, didn't know so much and the residents so well. I was trained for a week and was left to do ADLs for 18 residents. I did my first few months as I was taught in my CNA class, just by the book. Then I realize every residents are different and have to be treated individually, Mr. George might like to be showered at 8am and Ms. jones might like to be our of bed at 6am because of how she has lived her life as a hard working early riser.

It took me a while to get to know my residents and get comfortable working without an assistant or asking questions
