Queen33FutureLPN CNA

I’ve always wanted to go to school for nursing and the fact that I’m finally going is so mind blowing to me. Anyone else feel this way?

Yay! Congratulations!

Thank you so much for responding!

The only thing you can do is to continuously be kind to your resident. You won't always get the easy to get along with residents. Sometimes you get the unpleasant ones but you still have to go in with a smile and do the best you can.

If you don't cut yourself some slack!!! I have never met anyone in healthcare who didn't struggle the first couple of years.

It really depends on your own personal reason. If you are looking for a change of pace then Nursing is definitely the route to go. It definitely doesn't seem like its a financial reason for you. You will basically make the same pay as a RN as you do ...

You can definitely make money as a CNA. I started out working in nursing homes for about 9 months and I finally got an offer to work in a hospital. It was the best thing money wise I could have done. I work at least 104 hr a paycheck. After my re...

I would definitely recommend it because you can gain a lot of knowledge being a cna in a hospital.I know about different medicines and what they are used for.I even know the steps to starting an IV.You also gain confidence in how to handle different ...

Congrats!!!Are you in school to be a RN?You are so right that is a job within itself.Until I go back in August I will be saving up so I won't have to work so hard and still be able to pay my bills.

I work in a large hospital in Ms and I make 9.66 an hour.My fourth job as a cna because the previous job I have worked did not pay enough.I couldnt accept that I was going to be making 7.25 in a nursing home doing what I do.So I tried my hardest and ...

What I have learned since being a cna is the only thing you can do is your job.You can't spend your time thinking about what everybody is not doing it will only make you upset.Just do the best job you can do!!!

I am not trying to be mean when I write this but everyone has their own patient load that they have to care for.When I need help with a patient I first ask my co worker if you are not busy or when you have time could you help with a patient.I do not ...

Please do not get frustrated take your time.Always do your job to the best of your ability!!

I got certified last August.I got a newspaper and saw that a nursing home was hiring cnas.I went and was hired on the spot.Hated the nursing home I was there for 3 months.While I was working there I got a prn job at another nursing home.I filled out ...

Any cna's that work day shift ever pick up a night shift on the same day?Basically working a 24 hr shift?I need some extra money is this insane?

I worked in ltc for 9 months before I started my job at the hospital.I put in a application every 2 months.I was on my 4th application before I finally landed a job interview at one of the biggest hospitals in my area.I think what really made me stan...

I did talk to my nurse manager and she said the latest I could stay was until 3 in the morning.Thats 8 extra hours for me.I am saving up for a car.

I work in a hospital.

I learned my lesson to never share pay rates.I just started my new job and starting off I get paid 70 cents more than a cna who has been there for almost a year.Why is the pay rates different?She has been a cna longer.Is it because of cost of living ...

How does a credit union work in your hosptial on auto loans?

I am having a huge problem!I like being a CNA but the low pay is really starting to get to me.I work 4 days on and 2 days off.I make $8.75 an hour.After taxes my check is 534.00 thats a 10 day paycheck.I hate getting 8 day pay I only take home 440.It...

Thank you for the information!!!

9.66 with great benefits at the hospital I just got hired at!!

I felt the exact same way a couple of days ago.It is like in a nursing home you don't really get to use your skills to its fullest.I felt like I was just changing and feeding and that is it.I got really tired of the same thing everyday.The routine in...
