Dialysis tech, telemetry tech or CNA II?

Published

I'm currently a CNA 1, and I love helping patients and working with them. However, I work in a LTC Facility and its stressful, I'm so tired by the end of the shift, until I can't work overtime or do my homework and its not about being lazy...it's really really hardwork and the pay isn't worth it. But I do it, because I love taking care of the residents. I looked up some courses and want to know if anyone knew about them and the pay? I just want something to do, until I finish college, thats less stressful and better pay. Just want to move up a little. Any advice on which i should take in the title ^^^^. My goal is an RN.. Then of course NP or MD. Thanks everyone!

I would recommend a CNA job in the hospital.

Hmm.. how long will it take you to become CNA II?

About one month, I'm just trying to figure out what to do. I don't want to be stuck in an nursing home. I'm burnt out. Sort of.

Hi, I'm currently in nursing school. I work in a long term facility and its overall terrible. I'm so stressed out, until it follows me home. Its just a bad environment. I want something thats less strenuous and where I'm not always tired. I fill out apps for hospitals, but to no avail. Its all about who you know. They ask for 1-2 years experience and BLS. Thats basically it. I mean yes it will, but I'm in a situation where I need the money you know.

Hi, pdiconsults- these are just some of the programs I can find. I was thinking of CNA2 because they're more in demand than the EKG tech or Dialysis tech. I was looking up the job for these but I can't find any openings.
