Definitely stand up for yourself! Just finish what you can to the best of your abilities. Nursing homes are a 24 hour facility so whatever doesn't get finished, explain that to the aide coming on after your shift and keep it moving!

Sorry this is a long post but I'm confused with what route to take in my career. I'm currently a CNA but my passion would be working in the OR. My local CC has a Surgical Tech and ASN program but the waiting list for both is 2 years! A for profit sch...

There are 2 major hospitals in my area and they both utilize STs. I just hate that the wait list is so long for either program. I want to be in the OR sooner rather than later. If I went with the CST route, I could hopefully be working immediately in...

I currently work 4 days a week FT 3-11pm. This includes working EVERY weekend since May! Next month, I'll be switching to NOCS 11-7am 5 days a week working every other weekend. I'm so glad to get some weekends back to myself!

Are there red flags in particular that right away makes you feel as if you should start looking for a new job? For me it's inflexible scheduling, rude management, and never having enough supplies that are essential to the job (trash bags, gloves)

This is what's really making me question if I should stay at this facility or not. I wouldn't call myself a weak person but I don't do well with conflict and I feel as though bullying isn't something I should have to deal with at a nursing home or an...

I just wanted to share my excitement with everyone. I had an interview today at a ltc facility and received an offer of employment! I'm so excited as this will be my first cna job. Wish me luck!

If I perform well enough, I hope to get a raise at my 90 day evaluation. I don't mean to make it seem like all I'm worried about is money but times are tough...

I work at a ltc facility in Ohio. We have no shift differentials. I hope to be there for at least a year and move on to a hospital

Thank you! So far it's going very well. I'm very grateful that I have the opportunity to work in the field I love so much. No other job has given me this much satisfaction before.

My orientation will be 4 shifts 12 hrs each

I did my clinicals at a different facility. The facility I'm at now is within walking distance from my house so that's another plus

7a-7p shift. I took my classes back in '10 and I became certified last year. This is my first cna job. I'm not sure why I waited so long but what's done is done. I filled out all of my new hire paperwork today. The only thing I'm not happy about is s...

9.50 to start @ ltc in SW Ohio
