not ALL CNAs are lazy but the ones that are make others paint us ALL with the same brush....I have been called lazy...by the nurse sitting at the desk on facebook while chatting with the unit clerk... because i try to use my energy wisely...when i go...

one of the many reasons i no longer have any desire whatsoever to continue in the nursing profession....the "customer" is NOT always right and since when did healthcare become customer service anyway? One of the reasons our healthcare system is brok...

took my CNA training through osu...didn't cost me a thing but after i got my license i had to commit to 12 months out of the next 24 in a long term care facility...i'm gonna have to work while i'm in school and i'm wanting experience right? so why no...

Wish the nurses at my facility felt this way

I think i just don't want to grow up

as a former nursing home aide...we LOVED the kinds of families that were there to provide assistance and comfort to their family member....i had several families that would help not only their loved one but the roommate as well and any other resident...

i'm not even a nurse yet and i'm already thinking of leaving healthcare completely!!! Sick of families that think that their loved one is the ONLY patient in the hospital and i had better jump when they need anything! also sick of management that pla...

just don't react...that's what they want!!! I am glad patients can't hear what goes on in the breakroom..lol!!!

$300 bonus and a $50 gift card to one of the nicer grocery stores in the area

we do a family holiday the saturday before christmas...started that before i went into nursing so that christmas day we can open gifts, stay in our pajamas all day if we want and the kids can play with their new stuff and mom doesn't have to try to g...

only have a cell and work has its very own ringtone...I decide whether i answer it or not!!

kids are mostly grown..we usually do a big family gathering the sat before christmas...the hospital where i work is pretty good about alternating holidays...i was scheduled to work thanksgiving last year and off christmas...this year is my year to wo...

no one may say anything about it but you can bet your behind the people you are helping see it and will in turn walk through fire to help YOU when and if they can!!

This is one of the many reasons that i am rethinking nursing school...have been working on pre reqs one class at a time while working full time and raising two kids for 5 years and now thinking maybe nursing is not where i want to be...so sad!!

i am an aide...worked in ltc for two years....will NEVER do it again!!! Just because of the "politics" involved. As one other person posted...that is what happens when you work in a field that is mostly women...worked in manufacturing on a team with ...

I am 39 and just finishing pre reqs for nursing program. As a previous poster said there is a generation where a high school diploma was sufficient to get a good paying job. I use my experience going back to school to tell my 16 and 17 year old kids ...

the med/surg floor i work on actually has student nurses doing clinicals from the school i am attending...All the student nurses and the instructor keep telling me i am ahead of the game because i already am a CNA and know some of the basic stuff alr...

i work in a small hospital; we have our first name in larger font and last name right beneath in smaller font. About a year or so ago we had a male pt in his 70's, alert and oriented decide one of our techs was really cute so much so that he took to ...

As an aide in a hospital i would much rather work with a nurse that has been a CNA before they became an RN. They are much more willing to help rather than walk to the opposite end of the hall to find me and tell me that "mrs. jones needs to go to th...

the hospital i work at has ALL private rooms...walked in to one the other day and found not one or two family members but 8....2 sleeping on the couch, 3 sleeping in chairs that had been brought in from other patient rooms and you guessed it...3 more...

i think they had around 200 applications and accepted 90 for this fall

Every nurse or tech has their "kryptonite" ....those that say they don't are probably fibbing.....does it keep them from doing their job? NOPE that's where the professional part comes in...doesn't mean it doesn't bother them....u just get on with the...

The nursing home i used to work at? not a chance in he**!!! the hospital i work at now? my mom had her knee replacement surgery there and will have the other done there as well

only taking one this semester....cellular biology...last pre-req before i can apply to the program AGAIN!!! grrrr....running out of financial aid and patience!!

I work in a facility that gets mostly rule out for chest pain and most of them are ambulatory and there for a 24 hour observation stay. I offer them a shower and set them up with supplies or if they arent feeling up to a full shower..offer them a spo...
