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! 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!

Isn't it a great feeling to love your job? I wish we had aides like you on our floor. An aide can make or break a unit that is for sure! I can't remember the last time our unit had some great aides. It is unfortunate for the nurses and patients. I hope your message inspires many others!
when i first read your title, i said, uh uh . then i read first few lines, then i :smackingf:omy:. then i finished reading your thread, now i'm like :urck::rckn::nmbrn::bdyhdclp:
i work as an aide right now and have the same attitude and views that you have. i am in nursing school right now and being an aide has been a wonderful learning experience. have you ever thought of going to nursing school? you sound like you would be wonderful!!
I thank you for your post. You put some things in perspective! I've been dealing with some frustrating co-workers lately (nurses and aides alike). You reminded me why I'm in the business. Not for the gossip BS, not for that little nurse that thinks she's my master, not for the other aide that thinks I'm so unfair towards him BUT for the residents. To be the best NAC I can be (and eventually the best nurse I can be). So tomorrow I go back to work and go in with a new attitude.
