I was wondering if you CNA's with a lot of experience had any "suggestions" (warnings) for those of us searching for jobs that would make you choose not to work in a certain enviroment? Not specifically stating which facilities are bad to work at, but more like, but for example a 30 patient : 1 CNA ratio (this is just an example)
I am currently looking for my first CNA job, and I have come across so many places hiring and thought it would be helpful for some tips...

Place that smells of bodily fluids is a red flag.
If you tour the facility look for:
- Do residents look clean?
- Do residents look happy? Do they look bored? Do they have stuff to entertain them or are they left staring at walls?
- Do staff look happy or miserable?
- Do the staff look rushed? (sign of bad staffing)
