Wisha agony auntDont worry, its going to be a new experience so you wil be nervous. Im 19 too, and im a care assistant and i love it!!! At first you will be a bit nervous as some of the elderly rely on you so much, but when you get to know them it becomes so easy and it becomes routine for you. Honestly, you will be fine! Remember if you get stuck, dont be scared to ask for help...I still do! Good Luck x

willywombat agony auntJust do what they ask you to do. make sure you recieve all the training you need, such a manula handling. And if you are worried or don't know how to do something SPEAK UP and ask. The nurse in charge would much rather you asked a question than cocked-up muddling thru doing your own thing!!
