I’ve been a CNA at my local nursing home for nearly 4 months, and may I just say it’s a stressful/hard job. We may be considered the lowest of the low in healthcare, but we break our backs daily for our patients/residents. Although we have our awful moments as a CNA, we are still grateful and appreciative of who we are and what we’re capable of doing. Building relationships is literally one of the best things that can happen in healthcare.

I definitely agree, relationships are made within health care are probably one of the most rewarding parts. Not only are you helping those around you to become a better or healthier version of themselves , but it’s therapeutic to me to know that I am apart of that process.

Being a cna is definitely not for everyone because it is a very tedious job that will make u question your existence every few seconds. I’ve been working as a cna since i was 18, around that time I wanted to go into nursing school. I’m 20 now and ready to get out and career shift. The medical field is a blessing but I do believe it’s not the career path for me cause I hate it. But I’m grateful that I could see that it wasn’t for me early on.

However you still need to be happy with your job or some amount of that but you said Hate which is a very strong word so yes I’m happy for you as there is so many things you can be doing especially with you being so young. Patients can feel when someone isn’t fully present or don’t like their job. It’s perfectly ok not to like it and to change careers. God Bless you on your career path ❤️

And I hate I have to be petty with some of them but it’s the only way to get them to pull their weight ! When I become a nurse I will NEVEERRRR treat CNAs or any nurses the way I’ve been treated by some of these nurses and CNAs.

I commend some of these young and older women in this field. It's a daunting responsibility. And a lot of young women go straight into this field, for the money and to provide for their families. These women have to see some horrific things and do some things that they shouldn't have to do or even see. I commend them because the work is hard and it puts them in very close contact with strangers and , which some they do care for. But what they have to do are assignments, which they should never have to do to make a living. The care for the disabled is very necessary. But I just want to take a minute and say I that I commend all the women and men working in this field. You are all true gems. Many don't like the work and do it for the money and many probably wouldn't do it, unless it was their family they were caring for. But I truly commend them for what they have to see and do on a daily basis.

I have been a CNA for 18yrs. During the beginning of Covid my hands were raw. I already have Eczema and from the washing all day long with the soap from the facility& the hand sanitizer it literally burned my hands actually I looked like a burn victim 😢. I finally figured out to bring my own soap and I also used some eczema cream and also I started using hand sanitizer from bath & body finally started seeing results. Now as a CNA I am literally burned to the core. We were already short before Covid so now since Covid we have been beyond short. I typically work 11p-7am with a facility. But I decided to go with an agency for a while & get a little bit of a more flexible schedule. Anywho I decided to do a 4wk contract every other wknd. Which I typically won’t do because I want my weekends to myself. Anyhow this job has been putting me through the ringer & it’s literally like forget the $30plus and hour this is too much for one person. I’m doing 7a-3p and I literally have 14 Residents to do by myself. one shift 8 of the residents were total care & sometimes either my co worker doesn’t show, comes late, calls out, or leaves early & that means lucky me I get 28 people to do all by myself. I know I’m agency but that doesn’t give them the right to overwork me & treat me as whatever because I’m agency and blah, blah, blah. I actually care for my residents so when I come in, I wash them up brush their teeth, hair etc & have them presentable for the day. So I need a good 10-15mins per resident ( let’s not forget some are transported via Hoyer Lift)& how can I do all of that when breakfast comes at 8am. I get there for 7am and have to help out of 14 people about 10 on top of passing out trays (yes breakfast & lunch and setting up the food for some of the residents and also feed some of them that can’t feed themselves)😮. And they wonder why CNAS start skipping out on this and that. It’s because we are being rushed, short staffed, overworked & we become drained & exhausted. And it’s just 😔

That’s my only dislike with agency work at some nursing homes.

I lost my enthusiasm and energy towards the medical field when I graduated as a Patient Care Technician ironically enough. And I did a whole bunch of different jobs that I absolutely hated just for money and I was miserable every single day. After 8 years of working warehouse jobs as a forklift Operator and as a warehouse pallet organizer and construction worker, I recently went back to the medical field and just magically fell in love with it. And it motivated me to keep on studying to improve my options.

I'm a caregiver who used to work in an independent/assistant living, and let me tell you... it was a stressful and hard job, and I hated it. The moment I clocked in, I started working and the job I needed to be fast because I had limited time and a lot of patients to see before my shift ended. However, I did learned and experience alot working there, because now I work in an agency and I had a patient who had a nurse come and I work alongside with her and she also had three personal assistants who looked after her for so many years. Everyone thought I was a CNA because they loved the way I worked, and everyone encouraged me to go get my CNA, and that's what I'm doing.

Dear I'm a retired nurse and I learned a trick early on for my poor hands that I will happily pass onto you. Barrier cream! I don't know what kind of barrier cream your facility uses, but if it's the grainy stuff in the tube (the kind you wince at putting on your residents poor bottoms), use that! Put a good amount onto your hands and up your wrist and rub it in good. Then turn on the cool water and just run your hands under the water to melt the sharp grains and pat dry. You may need to do this a few times during your shifts, but you will thank me later! If you all use the lanolin based thick barrier cream, you will need to apply this more often. That is the best cream for your patients with dry cracked heels and other dry skin. I used to rub it into all of my residents and when I came back the next weekend I could tell the difference in their skin integrity! Hope this helps you and all the others you share this with! God bless you and thank you for all you do!

BUT it takes a toll on your body, the staff members are an issue, Nurses are a big problem with issues between CNA and Nurses, The health care industry is a whole other world…

@@JoyInFreedom CNA is probably the fastest, lowest cost way to dip your toes in healthcare and find out if you enjoy taking care of people. Of course, your experience will skew towards direct patient care roles but to a certain extent it's helpful just to find out if you like the field in general. That said, plenty of people do it as a career. I'd recommend doing it in a hospital, especially if your goal is to find out your career path. You'll get a good look at nursing, but you'll also get a little bit of a look at other roles like rad techs, respiratory therapy, etc. as well as physicians and APPs, if that's something you're into. You'll also get a good look at the wide variety of roles in nursing; nursing home work is going to be one of three things typically: memory care, assisted living, and skilled nursing. Practically speaking, it's a gauntlet of med pass and dressing changes. In a hospital there are many different bedside roles, in terms of acuity (e.g. medsurg, icu, stepdown) and specialty (e.g. cards, pulm, ortho) and if you float, you'll get to see a lot. You'll also get to see special nursing roles like PICC/difficult insertion teams, rapid response/code teams, and non-clinical ones like social work/case management. You definitely won't see it firsthand but you might get a chance to talk to some nurses in procedural areas like OR, cath lab. Nursing is a big world and seeing it firsthand helps. Finally, don't let people scare you about nursing school. It's hard, but nowhere near as hard as the internet likes to make it seem. It's a college degree; and as far as college degrees go, about average in terms of the material covered vs. amount of time it takes to cover it.

I love taking care of people/ patients. I found out later that it wasn't going to work for me after all. I remember when I was a kid and saw nurses it was a love of inspiration for me that I get into that career,. I later got into it and saw that it wasn't too organized for a career. I did work though for years. The Nurses Association need a better settings. I can see that where you are is much better than where I worked. Where I work ed wasn't looking organized like that. I worked in a rehab and it was always busy and some nurses don't help at all. The patients weren't the problem. Well you know they are sick and in need of our care. It was the workers. I just wanted to leave. I think they think I was going to get a promoted soon. because of the way I worked. I like working for agencies instead of the faculty itself. I like one on one care. It's better organized and I get to do one patient at a time and the patient and I are the only one in the space... lol!

Do you have to do laundry as a cna at a assisted living? I know some laundry is involved. But where I applied to they had a cna with lots of laundry that had to be hand washed. I saw loads of sheets, underwears, bottoms that had bm stains on them. They said it first has to be handwashed and then it can go in the washer. I applied for cna. But because they said their understaffed that they need me to also be the dietary aide and laundry aide also. All for 17 and hour.

Did you ever felt like you wished to quit, and what made you keep going? Do you think it is ok to be a CNA for just some months like up to 1/2 a year? I am considering to be one for 1/2 a year at least before entering nursing school and I am not sure if it's a good idea or not, so that is why I ask.

We do a lot of the care and front scene work that tends to get overlooked unless it is not done. However I am very happy with my decision of becoming a CNA. And doing it before I started nursing school was a great idea for me because I can work in the healthcare field before I earn my nursing degree.

It's okay to be a CNA for 6 months; generally there's a lot of turn over in these jobs, orientation is a few weeks at most, and because the education requirement - if there even is one - amounts to a two week class, you're cheap and highly replaceable. It is an excellent idea to be a CNA before nursing school; you'll have a level of comfort with patient care that you can really only get from doing it, so you'll have more time/mental energy to focus on the more complex aspects. More importantly, it's the best way to figure out if nursing is for you. You'd hate to spend all that time and money in school just to land a job you end up hating. That said, I'd give it a year to be on the safe side; I don't think 6 months is enough time for the monotony to set in. You need to know if you can enjoy taking care of people day after day, even when you cease to be stimulated by it, and you could do the job with your eyes closed and one hand tied behind your back while planning your weekend.
