"Coming into my first CNA role after being certified, I'll be honest that I do have a fear of body excretions like urine and vomit. I do realize that working with patients will require contact with these from time to time. If hired for this role, I'd stop at nothing short of dealing with my fears head-on to become the best that I can be in this role."

By asking this question, your interviewer is simply looking to see that you are ready and able to handle tasks that are not always pleasant. As a Certified Nursing Assistant, the direct care you provide to patients can involve some tasks that some people wouldn't ever do with another person. Bathing, grooming, feeding, and bandaging patients isn't the most glamorous work but vitally important nonetheless in their care. As you prepare for this question, you need to make it clear to your interviewer that you are willing to do anything required of you in the role, even if you say that you are a bit reluctant or fearful of any certain duties.

"No, I am confident in my ability to handle every task that would be thrown my way as your next Certified Nursing Assistant here. During my career, I've experienced just about every aspect of direct patient care. No matter how unpleasant something can be when providing care to a patient, I do it with a smile on my face and in the best interest of the patient."
