Hi... No not all CNAs ate mean. I love the people I know who are CNAs . They are hard workers and are really cool people. Maybe you just need to make CNA friends

My question is .. Where you a CNA before you because a LVN? Did you work as a CNA while going to school for your LVN?

OMG! Hii everyone! I am in California I am trying to finish up and then get started with my LVN. I love helping out and this is a job that will have things I don't really like.. But I plan on being a nice CNA.. And will be working my way up

Where any of you LVNs CNAs before you became a LVN? If so... Did you work while going to school as a LVN?

Hi are there any CNAs in here? I wanted to make friends with CNAs because I think only some of you can understand me? Message me to talk about CNA issues? I don't know how to reply to a post when I'm on my iPod .. Sounds silly huh? Lol but I really don't know how to use this yet. Also is there a app for only CNAs? I feel unwelcome here because I'm NOT a nurse and this app is called allnurses.com. I just want to make some CNA buddys. Just for info I hope there's a CNA out there that can be nice and talk to me . Thank you.

Mindifromcali what's LTC?

@mindifromcali.. What do you mean registry? Sorry excuse my ignorance;(

Well yikes.. I get it lol thanks for the advice. That's it. You all made your point . CNAs are not nurses.

@mindifromcali and with how many years of experience??

TechtoRTT yes those are nurses.. I get it.

Ocnrn63 hi thank you! That's what I always say I'm going to school for and that's what I will be ! Until I get my LVN license, I just felt maybe it was not okay to say cna because it had the word nurse in it.. Lol but this was what I been looking for.. Common sense.., yes that's what I am am that's what I will say..

Well now people are not making sense because I never said I was going to do a LVNS job or a RNs job . So you can stop that. I know that people need to go to school and get there license .

Well again... I am just going to school to be a CNA. I don't go around saying I'm a Nurse. It has been clear to me that people will say what they want .. I'm done with this . If people ask me what I am on the job will reply I am a CNA that's all. Nothing more nothing less... I am not in high school to be arguing with people just because they shared some opinions. Everyone has a opinion. Unfortunately there will always be someone saying that they are a nurse .. And weather they are or not.. You can't control what comes out of people's mouths. I thank you all for your opinions . That's all

Well I don't claim something I'm not . But when people ask what I am going to school gor I reply CNA. That's all.. I don't go around saying I am a nurse. I will leave this alone already , people will say what they want anyway.

Excuse me? Not able to do your job?? Well everyone can be what they want if they set their mind to it.

Im glad you asked this on your post. I had a nurse i know (RN) say that the nurses are mean and extremly challenging in school.

hm.. I am thinking of starting next year :]. Thats why I ask.. If I check youtube videos what do i type in? just LVN?

is a CNA a Nurse

IS it hard to become a LVN? what is one of the most difficult things to learn? How long is the program?

then what is a CNA to say if they are called nurse by a patient?

@grntea hi then what is a cna to say if a patient calls him/or her a nurse.

op are you saying that CNAs are not nurses? at all? then what are they? im so confused by this post.... I have seen people say they are nurses and not even finish a program.... are those the people your mad at? Or are you mad at CNAs... because they attended a shorter program than you did with your RN program? Certified Nurse Assistant if its not a nurse then why is it called certified NURSE assistant ? NOTE: im not mad or offended i just want to understand ... for example.. I know a girl that callles herself a CNA but does not have her certification. Therefore i dont consider her a nurse

Well i believe its a space issue since sometimes rooms are smaller . But as far as your husband undressing and you being asked to leave , well next time have him say MY WIFE can stay. I hope you feel better ;]

how much do you make a year? where do you work at?

When you wear your scrubs on your day off. lol thinking you work
