I work in a pediatric LTCF and I am also going to school for nursing...I work with some nurses who think they are on a pedastool.

I'm nice I do everything they say but wow, I asked one nurse to help me move a resident up in bed and she told me look and my name tag and look and hers...I didn't have mine on though which was funny..she also Let a resident walk around without a top on with family members there when she was 5 feet from the residents room yelling at me down the hallway to get a shirt...seriously is it that hard to put a shirt on someone...but we have some great nurses who help change and everything..just venting..do you other cnas deal with this??

You are always going to find people that do not exactly act as they should in any field. It is especially frustrating in the medical field though. The site where we do our clinicals for our CNAs has been through several rotations of nurses. Eventually, someone that can actually do something about that particular nurse is going to notice something is amiss. The best thing you can do is just continue acting they way you are. Eventually, someone that can actually do something will notice you too. :)

When working in the medical field, we must always remember who we are serving. If we continue to serve our clients and treat them with dignity and respect, we can actually make a positive impact on someone's life. Keep your head up!

In what universe is being a nurse a big deal
