I have a question for you guys. I work with this one CNA who is very rude, selfish, cold, neglectful and lazy. She is sloppy too. Well, we work second shift and when we clock in and get our lists and...
Sounds like the CNAs I used to work with in 3 years of CNA work. I was fired unfairly last month for "neglecting a resident". I put a resident to bed who's confused and has a history of falling out of...
Oh and congrats on your Lifespan exam. I guess I'll be all jittery when I go through my prereqs, clinical labs, and clinicals. I'm so happy for you. :rotfl:
I will be praying for you. You'll do well. I had a better day in clinical except it was a slow day for finding skills. There was only 2 IVs that had to be pulled in Same Day Surgery, but my instructor...
Hi Jess. Hang in there girl. I know how you feel. I work as a CNA in a nursing home. I'm taking a Patient Care Technician course at the community college and started my clinical last week. I've been...
Hi there! I'm a CNA working in a nursing home and I love it. It's the best job I've ever had. I love taking care of the residents and making their days brighter by showing up and talking to them. They...

I know I'll have a bad day at work when it's a full moon night. I'm an aide in a nursing home and the unit I mostly work on is the nuthouse.(Patients on the call light nonstop and confused residents...
Hi there. Actually I do her showers in 20 minutes. I guess I was exaggerating. She's a minimal assist. She can get undressed, but needs help with her socks, shoes, and pulling her pants and pullups...
Hello. I agree. Night shift may be easier than day or evening, but it's not the easiest. I work during the evenings, but sometimes do a double and stay on night shift. There is one aide per hall at...
My pet peeve is how certain people look down at me for being a CNA and working in LTC. They said that all I do is wipe peoples' asses and empty bedpans and it's a gross job. They don't look at it as...
Hey Nikki. You do sound like a great aide. Too bad you don't work with me. Congrats on being employee of the month. You deserve it. Some aides I work with are so lazy and uncaring that I don't know...

:balloons: I remember I was stuck working on my 23rd birthday in May and it was full moon night. I was never really superstitious, so I didn't think much about it. Well when I walked in at 3pm, the...
