Nurses General Nursing

Published

I am an awesome CNA. I am very proud of myself and feel that all of the nurses I work with are lucky to have me. The patients I take care of are lucky to have me. Am I bragging? You betcha! What has helped me to become nurse aid-extaordinair? Allnurses.com. Little do you know, when you are upset with things that the aides do and post about it, some of us take it in and try to NOT be that aide. When you post about the great things your aides do for you, some of us try to factor that into our super-aideness. Well, I do anyways. Thank you. Thank you for inadvertantly training me to become super-aide!:wink2:

There isn't anything I won't do to help my nurses and my residents. I like to chose the grumpiest residents that everyone else complains about, and you know what? I never have a problem with them. I am an annoyingly cheerful, persistant, pain in the rear end aide that won't stop until my residents say uncle! :jester: I am very good at what I do and I love what I do! Thank you allnurses! Keep those complaints and pats on the back coming, it really is educational!

Yes, I feel the exact same way!

I love allnurses and I LOVE reading threads about good and bad aides and what they do, because if I can't be the best aide I can be, I don't want to bother. Thanks for posting this. :)

I, too, have learned to be a better aid from reading some of these posts. Most of it is common sense that you should take care of your residents and help your nurses but some aids are just there for the paycheck and don't care. When i see something needs done i do it. I'm another one who is sickeningly cheerful and so upbeat that it drives some of my coworkers crazy when i come in and work the night shift.

At my facility I don't get to choose which residents to get. But i can get the grumpy, uncooperative, and very combative ones with little to no problems. I treat my residents like people, not a task, and they appreciate that because many of the other aids do not. I have come in for the night shift and found so many residents soaking through even their linens because the aid didnt want to deal with the grumpiness or combativeness- There is NO excuse for that.

Keep up the good work, you sound like an Amazing aid and someone that i would love to have as a coworker.
