Hello. My name is Lashae Buie and I am a current CNA/GNA trainee at Caroline Center. I am going to post my experiences at Caroline Center throughout the training period. Please feel free to leave me comments.
First Impressions of Caroline Center
It is now week 4 for us here at Caroline Center and ironically I am able to say that this has already been such an empowering as well as comforting experience. Here at Caroline Center you are able to feel comfortable just by simply being yourself. The staff here at Caroline Center’s mission is more than just to educate us women on the technical skills and other materials needed in order to be qualified for our desired career profession(s); it is also to aid in our individual transformations-from the person we came into the program as, to the evolved persons we will all be when we leave. Many of us came to Caroline Center with the intent to only recieve exactly what is needed to get into our specified career paths(CNA/GNA or Pharmacy Tech.). However, after being hear for four weeks, I’ve realized that you get so much more than expected out of this program.
Being at the Caroline Center, in my opinon, is like a “home away from home”. The training and educating is a main priority, but not any more than our well-being and abilty to deal with the stresses and obstacles that all of us either currently face, have faced, or will face out in the Real World. The goal here at Caroline Center is to prepare us for these types of things so than when staring them face to face, we can possess the ability to handle them with the most respectful and professional manorism. So far, within the four weeks of attending Caroline Center, I can say that I’ve learned that first impressions are the ones that matter the most and with the Life Skills acquired here at Caroline Center, that impression will be that of an immaculate one for anyone who has to come in contact with ANY woman who’s attended/attending Caroline Center.
