   I understand that. Somedays I'm like if you call me one more time....and having two aides assigned happens a lot. I realize there's a lot of people to care for but what does the office do all day? And...

   Supervisor just said that our company's policy would have to be for her to report things stolen and file police report which she obviously doesn't want to do. They asked if I was requesting a new...

   That's exactly why I'm worried about. It has escalated even since July. I don't want to be around for it to get much

   There are 3 other aides, 2 are as fed up as I am and the other I dk. I don't think so. The notes are too ridiculous and detailed for someone who isn't there all the time. The other aide only works...

   So I have this client.... Had her since I started working for this agency in July. She's nice (to your face) but when the other CNAs come in she will complain about you to them. Her grandson lives...

7. Stress of being an LTC aide CNA just too great for the pay!

   gochicagobears replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   YESSSS. If everyone would just HELP each other instead of refusing and just doing their own thing and leaving you out to

   Woah! I started at 9. the people that had been there 5 years made

9. Stress of being an LTC aide CNA just too great for the pay!

   gochicagobears replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   That's why I quit LTC and went to home health. It's not fair to the aides or residents to have one person caring for all those people at once. And for all the aides that are more experienced than you...

10. Scared about my CNA exam. Any advice, tips?

    gochicagobears replied to BabyGirlx3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Tell yourself that you know what you are doing. You know your stuff. You are good at it. Act like it's a normal day at work. You will be fine.

11. hospital vs home health vs LTC

    gochicagobears replied to lossholly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And also again, as far as schedules go, LTC is 5:30-1:30, 1:30-9:30, 9:30-5:30. Strict. But home health is more 7-5 (not straught!!) broken up. Of course there are overnight clients you may be...

12. hospital vs home health vs LTC

    gochicagobears replied to lossholly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And also I was making $9.00 per hour in LTC (which is not fair for the amount of work you do) but in home health the aides start out at that or more, at least. Hospital start out around 10 I think...

13. hospital vs home health vs LTC

    gochicagobears replied to lossholly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    LTC is the hardest job you may ever have. Sweating, litteraly- dripping all day. Never getting everything done. Rudeeee aides who won't help you when you need it. 8 hours straight of changing briefs,...

    gochicagobears replied to gochicagobears's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you all for your encouragement! I interviewed today at an assisted living facility that is wayyy closer to home that the LTC facility I was at. I also passed my state test today! :) i think I am...
