1. Night shift or day shift ?

   CNAEdd29 replied to Bailando's topic in CNA/MA

   It depends. Are you a hard worker, or someone who doesn't want all the pressure. Me, personally, I'd pick night. Why, because it's quiet, and even though it's busy, you can work without all the pressure. Plus, NO BOSSES! :). But you will have to sacr...

2. My Journey- A CNA Personal Story

   CNAEdd29 posted a topic in CNA/MA

   As I get closer to start working as a CNA again, I know this. It will not be as the last time. On this post, I just want to reflect the first time I worked as a CNA from the beginning until now. I hope as people will read this post, it will encourage...

3. My Commentary on myself, a CNA

   CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in CNA/MA

   Actually, I've gotten used to it. All it takes is practice, over and over again. But I'd rather not work at a nursing home because i did for clinicals, and it was too much. Plus, hospital benefits are much better.

4. My Commentary on myself, a CNA

   CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in CNA/MA

   Lol. But seriously, it's not a laughing matter. No one can take care of a whole floor. it's too dangerous not only to us, but the patients as well.

7. A Day In the Life of a Rehab CNA

   CNAEdd29 replied to ComeTogether's topic in CNA/MA

   I have to bow my hat to you. I understand how you feel, because I worked at rehab too. Sometimes it was easy, and sometimes it was hard. But the thing about your post i'm shocked about is how therapy treated you. It seems like they didn't want to hel...

8. Advice for New Nursing Assistant

   CNAEdd29 replied to rndreams14's topic in CNA/MA

   It will be hard, since you had no prior experience. Trust me, I did when I first started, and it was horrible for a few months. But in time, it was easier and I could cope with it. M y best advise to you is to learn everything you can about the floor...

9. Work Place Abuse- My experience with 33 patients Rant/Venting

   CNAEdd29 posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I've had some bad experiences working on floors by myself. But not as bad as working with 33 PATIENTS by myself. not only it's dangerous to me but it's dangerous to the patients. Why, people will call, nurses may call, anything can happen. What's wor...

10. Spinoff From "Don't Be That Nurse"

    CNAEdd29 replied to mirandaaa's topic in CNA/MA

    I personally don't believe that most cna's think they are "Kings". I know I am not one. But I believe we have a right to say something IF we worked as a CNA for a long time and know what's it like. Yes, Nursing is a different level, but our work is j...

11. Don't be that Nurse

    CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in CNA/MA

    If nurses were cnas before, then they would understand more. Look, I know they have much more to do, but if they take time to help with anything, that helps. I know they have so much on there hands, and sometimes, they can't do it. I already explaine...

12. Don't be that Nurse

    CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in CNA/MA

    It frustrates me when certain nurses tell me that I'm not doing my job when in fact I'm doing ALL that I can to my ability. I guess sometimes there's nothing any CNA can do. We just have to get in trouble. It's BS. Go figure.

13. Don't be that Nurse

    CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in CNA/MA

    Trust me, I do know how much you have to do. From passing meds to calling doctors to doctors asking you about the patient to give new orders to get admissions, to discharge, making calls, so much documentation, families, lots of stuff. I've seen and ...

15. Don't be that Nurse

    CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in CNA/MA

    No, im not a nurse and just found out that i cant "use" it as a title name. I'm sure that many others do so as well. I can see from your point of view, but when a tech has a WHOLE floor with nurses who may not help, it's a big problem. Most nurses w...
