1. What is the least stressful nursing specialty?

   sakiohma posted a topic in General Nursing

   I worked as a CNA in the past and absolutely HATED it. The healthcare field seemed like a cesspool for bullying and the constant teamwork/patient contact burned me out since I am an introvert. I threw in the towel and gave up on my nursing dreams. Ho...

3. Bullying on the job?

   sakiohma posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm a CNA thinking of going into psychiatric nursing, but I worry of bullying. I got really turned off from working in healthcare due to the "teamwork" aspect so I turned away from it. I put it in quotation marks because it never seems to be a real t...

4. Did being a CNA make you NOT want to be a nurse anymore?

   sakiohma replied to emily_ganshert's topic in CNA/MA

   Yes. I've been working as a CNA for about 2 years now and it has made me not want to be a nurse. The healthcare field is like a cess pool for bullying. I got bullied so much by my co-workers when I first started, I started Googling "careers that don'...

5. No lunch for lunch break?

   sakiohma replied to sakiohma's topic in CNA/MA

   Actually, Thank all of you for your answers! I completely understand and now I feel a little selfish. At work, I will talk it over with the others. No, we aren't paid for lunch break and there are times when we are called (by management) to work aft...

10. No lunch for lunch break?

    sakiohma replied to sakiohma's topic in CNA/MA

    In these set lunch times, is there one half that must pack a lunch or eat nothing, while the other half has the privilege to leave to get food or eat from the dining room? If so, it is clear that one half is favored.

11. No lunch for lunch break?

    sakiohma replied to sakiohma's topic in CNA/MA

    The only time lunch is served is between 12:00pm and 3pm, and we are not allowed to leave. The only people who seem to be allowed to leave or eat at those times is everyone, but the CNA's. There are times when I don't have food at home or time to pre...

    I work the 7-3 shift as a CNA at an assisted living facility. Lunch is served for the residents at 12:30pm and we serve them restaurant style and clean up when they are done eating. After this time, around 2pm, a few CNA's and I prefer to take our lu...

13. Being a nurse who likes working alone?

    sakiohma replied to sakiohma's topic in General Nursing

    With coworkers, I mean. Not patients. I love my patients. I know this may sound silly; especially considering how I worded it and because obviously nursing is a people person career and you usually work in a close knit team setting. I work as a CNA n...
