I agree with everyone saying that CNA's do a lot of jobs that belong to other people. Our CNA responsibilities are to pick up, pass out, set up and clean up the food. To clean up the rooms, take out trash everytime there is a dirty depend in the bag, make the beds, clean wheel chairs, and do the laundry. We do vitals and put creams and prescribed ointments that are the RNs responsibilities on the residents. Plus, if you're not on the nurse's favorites list, you end up being the one that does everything while the favorites sit it out and chat. I'm sick and tired of the drama that goes on at work with the nurse's siding with their favorites who slack off, while I'm having to rush and pick up their jobs, then having them complain about me not doing my job and reporting me for every little thing that they can to get me kicked out. The duties are already enough stress but the coworker drama that is added on with it is even more stressful. I don't want to pick up more days or hours because I am unappreciated and mistreated.
