i am a c.n.a. it is a very rewarding job. it is a very hard job. you deal with young people with head trama to old people who have had a stroke. we do alot of charting; every 2 hr. we do bed checks on them, if the are wet or dirty we change them, we feed them if they are unable to feed them selfs. we give them baths. some of them can do thing on there own, but you will find that most of them can't do anything on there own. the worst part of being a c.n.a. is getting close to someone and then they die. it is really hard, it is like losing a family member. after they die we go in and clean them up, take off their glasses, take out their teeth and lay them on their chest, we close their eye's if they die with them open, and then the morgue will pick them up. you also have some that like to hit, bite, pinch, grab at you. but they don't understand what they are doing, i love my job and would not trade it for anything, but it is no joke. you hold peoples lives in your hand. it is really a lot of hard work. i hope i didn't scare you but i thought you should know all the details. good luck with your choice.

One of the things that I have found to be common in so many people is fear. Fear is something that cripples people and keeps them from pursuing and reaching their dreams. This does not have to be so! I truly believe that a person does not have to have fear in their life. I can honestly say that I do not have any fear in my life. Now, I am not perfect by any means but fear is not something I have because I have dealt with it. \n\nThe main reason I do not have fear is because I have come to grips with the concepts surrounding fear. I have understood fear, primarily from two angles. The first angle is psychologically and the second angle is theologically. You see, I think that if we address the issues of life and the fears we experience from both a good understanding of psychology and theology, then I believe we can be free from fear. \n\nPsychology is the study of the mind and that is where most of our fears take place. Theology is the understanding of God and the world we live in as it relates to God and what takes place in this world. I know from personal experience, that as we settle just a few basic issues, we can be free from fear. A few weeks ago I spoke to a group on fear and here are a few of the insights I gave them on how they can get over their fears and get on with their lives. Look and see how each one of these principles fits either psychology or theology. \n\nDisciplining your thoughts. \nFear is an action of the mind. Fear is a use, or better said, misuse, of the imagination. In reality, when you fear something, you are simply choosing to imagine a future happening. You are fearful that your spouse will divorce you (future), or that the snake will bite you (future – it hasn't yet), or that you will lose your job (future – you still have it). So when we fear, we are simply letting our minds imagine a bad future. That is what fear is! Imagining a bad future. So what is the answer? \n\nWell, there are two things you can do. One would be to imagine a good future. The other would be to stop thinking about the future and just take one day at a time. If you are a fearful person, either one of these would be preferable to living in the prison you currently live in. The principle remains true in that we have to discipline our minds and choose not to think about a bad future. We can do that. We can choose our thoughts. It just takes discipline. \n\nAccepting the realities of life. \nMuch of what people fear are the realities of life. Some may think this cold, but people die, people lose jobs, people choose to do crazy things in relationships etc. There is nothing you can do about that. Period. For example, I know many fearful mothers who won't let their children play in the front yard because they are afraid the kids will get kidnapped. Now, what should they do? Do everything they can to make it safe and then let their kids play in the front yard! Some people are afraid they will go bankrupt or broke and worry endlessly about it. What should they do? Work hard, save, invest and live life. Could someone get kidnapped? Yes. Could you go bankrupt? Yes. These things happen and all you can do is work to make your life what it can be and accept that sometimes things happen, even tragic things. If they happen, you experience the pain and emotion then – there is no sense forcing yourself to experience it before it happens – IF it happens! This is a mental adjustment that we make that enables us to get over fear. \n\nGive yourself good information. \nMuch of what we fear is irrational and not based on good information. For example, someone afraid of snakes will scream when they see a gardener snake, even though the reality is that there is absolutely nothing that snake can do to them! Take the time to educate yourself about whatever it is you fear and see if that doesn't help you gain the mental edge you need. \n\nTaking control only of those things you can control. \nThere are things you can control and things

You can overcome you fear of death by looking to the Lord. \nWhen you learn and know the truth of death and why we die and then learn how we can have everlasting life even on this Earth when Satan is finally destroyed you will find that the fear of death has no power on you any more.\nI suggest you contact Jehovah Witnesses they have the truth of a paradise Earth from Bible scriptures. Death and sickness will be destroyed and obedient people will live forever on earth. If you really want answers and hope for yourself then I suggest you get a free bible study with them like I have been doing our Creator is wanting to give you life forever. Give it a go, you may find it will change your life for the happier. People who don't have the answers anyway may say to you don't do it but if you want real answers. I am a bible student myself.

Sure. Think of something that usually scares the bejeesus out of you, and find a counter form of it. If you're afraid of the dark, then a flashlight would be a symbol of empowerment for you. If you're deathly afraid of spiders, bring a can of Raid. If you feel belittled by your boss, get one of those silly dolls. Sorry I can't be more specific, but it's really got to be your symbol.

I feel for you, I too am very afraid of death, not due to a dream though. You at least know what caused your fear, I do not. I think part of it is due to the fact that I was exposed to death too young in life, but I can't be sure. Try to tell yourself that it is just a dream. I don't think that people can predict their deaths. Even though I myself share your fear, I don't think we should fear it. I can tell you the constant fear of it is not healthy. I can also say that it is not a fear easily overcome. I'm still trying, have been for years. It is also not widely understood by people. Someone who does not have this fear cannot realize how crippling it is. I would suggest you go find someone to talk to about it, a priest or counselor maybe. Hopefully they can help you to come to terms with death a little. I wish ya luck.

Neurosergeon, because I think of the 3 it will have the most profound impact on the people that you will be dealing with. Saving lives is a noble profession. But remember, do what you love, and what you want to do. Chose the path that will make you happy.

There is no reason to fear death unless you are an enemy to God.  This earth life is a miserable existence.  Something much better awaits most of us.  Even if you consider yourself to be a sinner God will forgive you if you are willing to offer him your will.\nThere are many misconceptions about death.  It is nothing spooky.  Think of it as returning to a familiar and loved home where people love you.  I don't suggest that you do anything to cut your life short -- just live life as best you can without ill will toward anyone and don't frear death.  Death happens to everyone.

I am not afraid to die as much as "how" I will die. \n\nI don't want it to be horrible like an accident, or long, like an illness.\n\nideally, in my sleep, would be the best.

Trusting your instinct is always best,however it is hard to make changes your unsure the outcome will be,I am sure you feel comfortable at your present job and that's why your scared to leave understandable,but then if you don't take a chance of listening to your instinct you will never know if you made the right choice.You will have to really think it over and weigh the good and bad you know about both jobs,and then do what feels right even if it scares you.you will most likely be happy you did in the end.

Except for a few lunatics, every one with the capacity to think knows that they will die eventually. For the most part people don't want to die now.\n\nThere are a lot of fears associated with death, starting with the fear that something terrible will happen and it will be painful, or that there will be a slow decline and you'll spend 10 years in a nursing home not knowing who you are.\n\nSo, not too many people are jumping up to volunteer.

I have no fear of death. My fear is that I die - go to heaven - and I am asked if I want to go for another ride - and I say YES. Like I have so many times before. Not this time.

Yes I do fear death, even though I believe in Heaven, I still am afraid of leaving Earth. (I like it here!)
