5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming A CNA

[@nyasiaisthename]

The part that I don’t like is when nurses forget that we are there to assist and not do every little thing for them. A lot of the times nurses think that passing out meds is their only job. If that was the case then they are being overcompensated for their job. They should have become a med tech. One nurse came to me and told me to take a pt to the restroom after he had JUST came out of the room. He went behind the nursing station and started talking with others. A lot of the times they feel like they are too good to do that type of work which is sickening because- why are you even here?

[@iizidlaury2023]

See , this wouldn’t happen on our unit , my admin for our unit is really big on the nurses helping techs out all the time! Ofc sometimes you do have to do some things alone but for the most part, it’s teamwork! Changing is a 2 person job, turning is a 2 person job almost anything physical is to be done by two people! I enjoy this but when I worked at a nursing home I was miserable because I was by myself 🥴 thanks for watching and dont forget to sub for more 🎯

That's what I've been considering - becoming a CNA and then pursuing a direct-entry MSN.

Thanks for putting out this content. My son who was in engineering school decided he wanted to become a nurse instead. He's starting his CNA class in the fall so he can work during nursing school. It's nice to know there are male CNAs out there who enjoy the job.

Aye thank you so much for watching. nursing is such a great and noble profession. I don’t feel like you can ever go wrong going into the healthcare field.

[@Paralyzingfreak]

I don’t mind the work and have been a CNA for years. I love helping others and bonding. My issue is that it now hurts my body too much to continue to do the work. If i wasn’t in pain I would keep doing it.

[@iizidlaury2023]

The wear and tear in your body is something to be discussed, I plan to go into case management or informatics after at least 4 to 5 years of bedside If I make it that long 😂🎯

I am 17 years old with no plan once i graduate highschool. So far being a cna is the best option but i have been hesitatant for some reason but plan on going to community College to get my cna. Seeing this video really helped understand and get more information on what i would actually be doing as a cna. Thank you and i love the energy you give through this video

[@iizidlaury2023]

I think it’s a good idea to even if you don’t plan to work it forever , get the experience especially while you are Young. It’s a low barrier to entry and pretty cheap compared to other shorts! The job security and absolutely to work is present. Get the very see if you like it and go to school if you don’t like it! Get your education in other fields!

Thank you so much for these videos. To be honest, I didn't want to watch them in case I might change my mind about starting a CNA course. I'm glad I did because the more I know, the more options I have. I thought I'd be stuck in a bad situation and had to deal with it alone, like I have had in the past. I am glad to see it is ok to be more vocal and to ask questions.

Thank you! I wish I could work with you, just to see if I have the motivation to take this on. Let go in a retaliatory move by a manager, after 39 years, in the airline industry, I'm rather beat up and emotionally recovering. But my heart is to help people, and I can do chaos. My mother just had her pacemaker replaced last week and I thought, a nurses' assistant is something that I might feel there was purpose in. I have a sister-in-law who is a pediatric nurse. And I love kids. I've changed a lot of baby diapers, growing up, being the oldest daughter in a big family. Thank you for sharing your heart. It's encouraging.

[@TheChrizKid]

love this content! starting cna school next week and i couldn’t be more excited. would you recommend first starting out in a nursing home and moving to a hospital so you have more of an appreciation for the hospital setting or would going straight into a hospital job and skipping the nursing home be a smarter route to take?

[@iizidlaury2023]

It really your decision , the nursing home would offer you a more laid back vibe , where you’d simply have to just keep the patients clean and you’ll learn simply patient care ( turning patients , cleaning patients , taking care of patients feeding needs , oral care etc! ) but the hospital will allow you to focus on a specific patient demographic similar to a RN , you’ll be able to take vitals learn other things like EKG & phlebotomy at some hospitals. Both I’m seeing now are understaffed but I started in a nursing home because that’s the first opportunity that arose , if you want to work in a hospital don’t fret , because you will get hired! Keep me updated bro 🎯

[@dannahmentoya5671]

Thanks for this informative video! Subbed :) it's cool seeing males out there in this field, not too many on here. How do you balance working as a CNA while in nursing school as well as other lifestyle activities? I'm thinking of possibly being a CNA while in nursing school. I'm just worried about how I would be able to manage time. Also do you have a specific specialty in nursing that you are aiming for?

[@iizidlaury2023]

Hey thanks for the support and the Sub . School and work is not too bad I work 3x a week and typically spread it out well so I have a lot of time to study and attend class! I don’t have much of a life outside of the two but the other time I have I use it as self care (meditation , yoga , sleep 😂 ) I say do it , I know most programs want you to have CNA experience before entering & at last it wouldn’t hurt knowing the ins and out of the hospital setting! As for speciality I’m still on the fence about it. I work on an ICU Stepdown unit but I want to explore other specialities! As of right now I’m looking at working as a tech on the ER , or PEDS.

I hated my job! The nurses wouldn't do a dam thing to help me. I had 26 pts in a orthopedic unit. Most of them elderly with hip or knee replacements. Turning and repositioning was brutal. I had 26 vitals to get right when I arrived. If I only had the vitals, it wouldn't have been so bad, but it was answering all of the call lights, taking them to the bathroom, and tracking the nurses down because of patients want to pain meds. Most nights it took me over an hour to get the vitals. Then turning, changing, sometimes complete bed changes, took all most two hours. I was small so, it took me at least 5 mins to do. Then I would have to document. I had a lot of pts who ever confused because of their age and the meds. They would be climbing out of bed all night. The nurses just sat there at the station. I hardly saw them all night. Then I had two nurses who were picking on how they wanted their pts. One wanted me karate chop in half. It was awful

I was in a union, I should have told the union rep. I just didn't want any problems. One time, the director of the unit, made a rule, that no CNA could sit down on their shift. We had to document, standing up. She thought it didn't look right for us to be sitting down when we had downtime. She even took all of the chairs out of the hallway so we couldn't. She allowed the nurses to sit, which wasn't right, so I told the union rep, and the next day, all of the chairs were back.

16:00 Awesome content!🎉 Much props to all of the male and female CNA, LVN / LPN, RNs out there. You’re appreciated! Question: I’m trying to figure out what are most affordable LVN / LPN (accredited) programs online. And what is the range of cost and time to complete the programs? I’m a black man, no kids, own my house & car w/ no mortgage & no car note. I already am FT in property management w/o college. I’m also only work weekends and sleep 3-4 hours. I’m pursuing a career in Travel TC ICU ER ENP. And I admit that I’ll need help. The route plan is: get my CNA, work in a hospital for 200 hours, get my LPN /LVN, work that in a hospital for 200 hours, then take a bridge course with dual ASN & BSN while studying for a specialty in ER. My studying ethics is close to Neo plugging in & learning kung fu, and Imma beast when it comes to test taking, so I want prep for my HESI, ATI, NCLEX right now while I save about $12,000-$15,000 for all of my tuitions, online books & certifications. My saving averages about $2K to $3K per month, so I should be test ready by the time I have the money. And whatever bread I make during my “clinicals” 400+ hours I will put towards my next tuition fee, which I believe is $23,000. I want to eventually post videos about my journey, because I haven’t seen anyone successfully pull this off. What do you think? Thank you! ❤

[@iizidlaury2023]

I would definitely recommend being a CNA before starting a RN program , a lot of times it’s actually required! But it’ll allow you to see the responsibilities of RN’s and you get to work beside them to see if it’s a fit for you. You do have options though, LPN is a good start but if you go straight for RN you’d be in a lot better of a situation and it’ll be easier to find a job at the hospital level. Then following that you can do RN - BSN program! But you will be fine just take the first step 🎯 good luck my friend

Aye thanks for watching and welcome to the KZbin family , but I started off in an agency and was allowed about 3 shifts to “train” , I was really just doing everything with another CNA before I was put out on my own! Also in the hospital I received almost 4-5 shifts which was about 2 weeks 🎯 Do not go out on your own if you do not feel comfortable , voice this to them 🎯

You’re so cool

[@iizidlaury2023]

You’re cooler 🎯

i took a job at my local elderly home that is paying me to become a cna. by how you have been talking it seems being a cna at a hospital is much better how long should i stay at the facility so i dont come off as just getting the free cna training

[@iizidlaury2023]

I think you should do whatever I’d best for you and as long as you are in the state registry you should be fine 🎯 that’s all you need to take your opportunities to the next level! Best of luck 🎯

God bless 🙌

[@iizidlaury2023]

God bless man , thanks for watching 🎯

Do you see CNA‘s that enter the field at 55?

[@iizidlaury2023]

Personally no but I’m sure it happens, look into RN programs as well 🎯

[@parisbanks9609]

Wassup I wanna become a CNA however two things bothers me, will I have the energy to workout after? And is test to become CNA hard?

[@iizidlaury2023]

You should , trust me it’s hard work but you’ll have days off , no worries on working out! I’m still able to all the time 🎯

[@bubblecat9212]

How do you deal with smells

[@iizidlaury2023]

I promise you get used to it , plus my stomach is strong! I’ve seen nurses barf though from some stuff like wounds and GI bleeds!

[@andre1987eph]

0:23 bro you're way too close to the camera. That might be ok for the ladies and, well - you know. 🤣

[@iizidlaury2023]

😂😂 lol

[@jeremiahokoh420]

So if I become a CNA in a nursing home is good I just go to a hospital because the nursing home am about to do my CNA is for free. How did you leave the nursing home when you got your cna license ?

[@iizidlaury2023]

We’ll if you are registered through the state you can go anywhere , just depends if you too state boards or not! You are not stuck to one location. Always move to make the situation better for you 🎯

[@jeremiahokoh420]

@@iizidlaury2023 thank you

[@Phoenix_Atlas]

CNAs are glorified caregivers with a certificate. Until you get your LPN or CMA youre just a caregiver with a certificate. Not bashing on that at all, its what i do. I spent 5 years in behavior support at a group home for I/DD patients. Now i work in memory care as a caregiver. The CNAs come in from agency and act like they are so much more experienced than we are lol. I have more medical experience than any CNA and i have no degrees or certificates. Maybe its different in a hospital but in memory care the CNAs act like theyre better than us lol.

[@lucyodhiambo9556]

Whats the ratio of patients taken care of?

[@iizidlaury2023]

Depends on the unit and facility 🎯 Nursing homes can be from 20:1 Hospital is typically 7:1

[@lindamercantini5731]

Retired cna of 42yr's, my ratio was 22 to 1, 11-7 shift

[@lillysims2677]

Your video is so informative. I am a nursing student and I graduate this December. I got a job as an SNA (student nursing assistant). I was wondering if SNAs do the same job as CNA. I’m excited but anxious at the same time🥲

[@iizidlaury2023]

Wow sna? I’ve never heard of that before today! I do know that different states name it different things! I just googled it and it says student CNA’s are STNA’s which is reserved for Ohio and a few other states! From what I was reading online they hold the same responsibilities as a CNA. Don’t be anxious , you got this! It’ll only get better with time! Also thanks for supporting the channel 🎯

[@jeanetteg5197]

How did you get the job at a hospital?

[@iizidlaury2023]

I just created a video about this! Go check it out’ also it’s as simple as applying, there is no real difficulty in it and hospitals are so short right now you have s good shot as landing a job as a CNA / sitter! Let me know about you progress moving forward 🎯

[@cloreecejackson21]

Is it worth becoming a cna

[@iizidlaury2023]

Yes it is , sub and you’ll see why!! 🎯

[@DopeBoysofAtlanta]

Sorry man. You need to better yourself and go further. You get paid bottom dollar to do stuff they should pay way more for

[@iizidlaury2023]

I’m in nursing school now , this is not the end of the road for me 🎯

[@Matcha_Take123]

Did you go for Phlebotomy and EKG before applying to a hospital?

[@iizidlaury2023]

Hey. I actually didn’t do either , they gave us training for ekg that’s about it. Typically you don’t need either my friend!

[@JuanaGarcia-ls7]

Is there math in the cna exam

[@iizidlaury2023]

Maybe less than 5 percent , most is comprehensive questions about the job 🎯
