PROBLEMS KEEPING CNA'S/CNT'S!!!!!!!!

Published

ARE YOU HAVING PROBLEMS KEEPING CNA'S/CNT'S OR GETTING THEM TO COME TO WORK WHEN ASSIGNED? SO AM I. NEED ANY ADVICE ON WAYS TO KEEP TECHS AND GET THEM TO COME TO WORK. PAY SEEMS TO BE A BIG ISSUE. START PAY RANGES FROM 5.70-6.00 DEPENDING ON EXPERIENCE. I KNOW THEY NEED A RAISE!

ANY MORE ADVICE OUT THERE?

I agree that CNA's don't get paid anywhere near what they should for the job that they do, and on our unit..especially the 3-11 shift, they're always working short.

We have a great crew of CNA's on my 7-3 shift...4 full timers. Their attitude is great because I think that they feel that they can talk to me if something is bothering them, and I always try to pitch in and help when I can.

The idea about giving out scratch tickets is great! I'm wondering if management would get pissed at me for doing that since I'm just a staff nurse? I also feel that praise for a job well done goes a long way. As nurses we know that we don't get the recognition we deserve, but maybe we can correct that for the CNA's.
