Ive been a CNA for 15 yrs and I feel that if everyone on that unit is on top of caring for pts and working with each other...than you are gonna have a great unit.I personallly love my job more and more every day ....but it does take its toll when half of your coworkers bust their butts and the other half doesnt do anything.I think I have an idea what my nurses think of me....im on time i do everything they ask and go out of my way to make sure our pt is completely comfy...but I also think they feel I take to heart too much about our coworkers who dont pull thier own weight.ANd I think at times I try and pull what they do....but.....lol...in an hour im guilty as hell and end up doing what I wasnt going to do.ITs very hard at times to ignore those lazy coworkers...cause with an CNA like me.I feel that if they cant do the job I do with my pts they should leave.We might have a better working relationship with our RNS if we did our job,worked together and make our pts time in the hsopital less painful.CAuse oth other side of this question is can a bad RN cause us CNAS to be more lazy than we really are????ANd can a bad CNA cause A good RN to turn the other way when we need help?

Ive been at the same hospital for 15 yrs and my traveltime is 45 mins....i could go closer but undecided about starting somewhere especially since my coworkers and doctors know me so well.....

:chuckle Thats crazy.....they need to make the doctors wear those buttons.I cant remember the last time I saw a doctor wash his hands coming out of a isolation room or after they do a dressing change......i think us as nurses and cnas to wear a button like that would be an insult...i know from all the years ive been in the nursing field i wash my hands TOO MUCH thats why my hands are cracked and sore....:rotfl:
