As a pct I hate to see nurses on there phones, talking and seeing multiple call lights going off. They just act like that’s not there job. I also hate to work with a lazy tech that hides or don’t do rounds. Im taking my PN nclex soon and I won’t be a lazy nurse. I want to help out as much I can while still doing my work.
I love rn’s who were CNA’s. I totally agree about trust and distrust. That’s another way I gauge a good rn. I had a nurse the other night try to remove her gown after giving meds and tell me “I can’t deal with this right now” regarding a soiled patient that was 2 person assist. Giiirrrrl, I had to put her in her place and remind her this refusal of assistance to provide care for her patient is under her license. She gowned up begrudgingly. LOL I CANNOT STAND RNS LIKE THIS!🤬
I’m very grateful for the nurses who tell me they’ve put residents on bed pans or helped with toileting. It’s like finding an Easter egg on my shift. Lol I do my job and I rarely ask for help so I’m not that lazy CNA. Nurses ask me to do things and I comply. I might grumble sometimes but I still do my job.
Im a PCA at a hospital & this was spot on! Nurses put a bad taste in my mouth 😂 lol theres more bad nurses than good nurses & it sucks. I know not all nurses are bad but the bad ones make me hate nurses lol
Lol you know that's funny that you said that i had a nurse to go in a patients room i guess she give him medication, the patients ask the nurse if SHE can put his socks on don't you know she came looking for me to tell me that the patients wants his socks on. UNBELIEVABLE.
Absolutely... respect each other. We're all here to care for the patient. I like how you said the nurse is responsible for the patient and all the care being done. I went the same route as you, but do not yet have my MSN. I am so glad for my years as a CNA.
I literally just came across your channel and I’m glad I did. I’m a CNA and I’m about to get out of this field shortly. But you said a mouthful and I agree with you 1000% on this. Thank you for breaking it down on both parts. Nurses love the way I work but at the end of the day you still feel like you’re not appreciated enough. That’s why I’m getting out of this field. Because it can cause a lot of wear and tear on your body.
A nurse sees a fall risk patient get up from their chair. Instead of handling it they search all over to find you, to have you take care of the patient.
This was a great conversation. I've been there and done that.The medical field is hard work especially when the facilities are short handed of their staff. If you are someone who can work in that manner please save your mind, body, and soul by not burning yourself out remember to give yourself some downtime. You are great workers and If no one has never told you that you are wonderful and appreciated then I am telling you that right now! Gratitude from corporate and management in these facilities mean a lot and should be given to their employees more often. It's to bad that they don't know it creates better team leaders. Better care can go a long way with unity it makes better quality of wokers and it's stress free.
It’s not true that CNA don’t help nurses do their job. Most nurses I worked understand expects CNA to change colostomy bags ( not aide training) but they expect it most time to be done by us. They ask for certain creams to be applied THATS considered treatment and should be done by nurses. I’ve had many nurses see a patient sleep or one that out the room just leave their meds on bedside table and many times I’ve had to wake or mind the patient to take med or their in the patient sheets cause nurse didn’t stay to see patient swallow them. I’m asked to apply leg wrappings or unwrap them for nurses. Check patient for wounds and report back. List goes on.
I think most nurses are not lazy. Just some of them. Some nurses think they are better. I told my mom this and her response was, well, nurses aren't rocket scientists. And she's absolutely correct. They make mistakes too. A lot of times, I notice that nurses help each other. For example, a nurse will tell me that I can turn a heavy patient by myself and when it is a nurse who has to turn a heavy patient, there are 2 or 3 nurses in there helping that nurse but not the CNA. Some nurses think that CNAs have 3 times the muscle strength they do. And half the brains. I believe that nurses earn their pay. They went to school for it, they work very hard. Most of them do. I understand that nurses may seem dismissive of your concerns being that what you might be telling them, they already know, and their knowledge base is much higher. I get it. They busted their butt to get through school. So, I try to limit going to the nurse for every little thing. Unless the patient is having trouble breathing or something serious. When the nurse asks for help, 98% of the time I say yes unless I already have something I am in the middle of. What I hate about nurses, or any other profession is some nurses who feel it's okay to talk down about their coworkers when they are not around, also, nurses who take advantage of your hard work. Or a nurse that is respectful to a higher up but, isn't to CNAs even if you are one of the harder working CNA. e.g. never answering one single call light. e.g. sitting at the desk chatting, shouting orders at you. Let's face it. Nobody likes cleaning up messes when their shift is over in 15 minutes. I mean nobody. So, putting someone on a bedpan and answering a light is half the job done. CNAs appreciate the effort. It makes them feel less slave like. You take advantage of good workers, and it will backfire eventually. Don't take good people for granted because sometimes they just might take a sick day from exhaustion. Don't assume CNAs don't get mentally exhausted just because they don't chart. Sometimes it's the nurses they have to work with that make or break their day too. It's not just about nursing. There is good and poor work ethic in all lines of work. And, at all levels of the spectrum of nursing. A little respect goes a long way in any field of work. Don't be rude. Don't be condescending and uppity. Work together.
But the reality is nurses aren't helping us. We do the dirty work and they tell us to go clean it up or empty catheter. I have no nurses helping me I have to have other CNAs stop what they do to help me. Which in itself causes even more strain... So I don't rely on nurses I lost a lot of respect fo people in general being in the medical field
Same here man, I obtained my CNA license as a pre-req for Nursing but idk if I'm gonna do it anymore. I'm getting an Associates Degree for Animal Nursing. I cant stand people. Zero sympathy for anyone. Healthcare is brutal.
@@richardwildlife88-wj6kl I implore you to continue down that road. The medical field is horrid... I'm in college to become a teacher! That is where I want to be
I’ve helped with wound care. I help with charting by telling the nurse what happened with the resident. Ive had a nurse call me to her computer to explain something to her. I’ve had nurses mix meds in applesauce and tell me to feed it to residents.Most nurses are from agency and they don’t know the resident. Dang maybe I should go back to nursing school 🤔
I would agree with you if the facility didn't make you do everything including Landry kitchen jobs and maintenance jobs and stay over unwilling don't become a CNA you can be 70 and they don't care they will try to make you stay or you get fired.
Just found your channel, and very much enjoyed this content!

@@adamdashawn Thank you it means a lot coming from you! Your YT videos inspired me years ago to go into nursing and I have been a supporter ever since. Imma be like you one day 😉💪🏾
Thank you for the clarification. I truly believe that a good cna can make the physical part of a nurse's job much easier. Once I become a nurse, there is no way that I would work on the floor without an aide.
This is the main reason I refused going for a nursing job until now unfortunately because I have a nursing experience and I also have a associates in health science now for bachelors I want to go for nursing after all I’m have to follow someone’s advice and think of :I’m here for patient and I am here to get paid .Forget another nurse focus on what you have to do to work however we study so much you think you will be so educated and capable to respect each other . Like I said I’m going for nursing because I love what o do but in America I had a bad experience as a CNA the only thing that’s making me go for nursing is because I love taking care of people and I want a good job
Well that's fine, but you cannot write in one running sentence without punctuation! Remember any documentation must be complete and ALWAYS keep in mind it could be scrutinized in a court of Law. Please be careful.
Had a cna turn on a beeping pump of fluids that was being held due to infiltration. Family saw and went wild. Some cna play nurse but don’t wanna play cna
Yes there are some nurses like that especially when it don't take you 2 hours to chart one med pass in the morning time don't want to get your damn hands dirty after good night's rest on the clock come on now
Working in the ICU... never have I ever had a tech or CNA for help - I guess this discussion is more suited for med surg or SNF? Although my ICU nurses/RT help each other out 100% - no power struggles.
Depends on where you work, patient ratios, etc. At the hospitals I've worked, the ICU still utilizes CNA/Techs. But yes, this problem is seen more in SNF/LTC facilities, but it does exist in the hospital settings in Med/Surg and ICU. I guess it just depends.
Don't downplay "medsurg" Yes it's "acute care" but like at the same time my unit takes IMC status patients that have respiratory issues, as that's our specialty. Another "acute care" one is neuro, or hemonc. All fairly picky on who we get. Neuro or hemonc would throw a fit if given a trach for example
You are so right about this that is so true I am a CNA and my sister is a RN 😂😂 crazy my sister is Lazy but and smart mouth but I don’t ask for help from them very little
Wow really? We have some similarities! My sister is an RN And I’m a CNA. My sister isn’t lazy tho because I remember us working together and she definitely helped me.
Power trip. That one year of school to be a LPN I spent more time in school to cut hair. Actually get credit for cosmetology school that can be applied to nursing school. Under my PA cosmetology license can be a med tec, podiatry assistant or work with a dermatologist We are trained to administer oral and topical medication. We are trained to mix chemicals. Infectious disease control is a huge part of cosmetology and barber curriculum. Have both licenses. Attended college for 2 yrs. dropped out to cut hair. Hurt my hand now working in assistant living being badly treated by nurses and administrators. If you think nurses can be a bitch they can not hold a candle to a hairdresser we have PhD passive aggression revenge. Never in my life would want to make someone else feel bad about themselves or look down on any one just because I can but will definitely put you in your place if you do it to me. Cutting hair for 30 years part of my job was to help people feel good about themselves not tear them down. Hred a beauty school student an assistant when I had my shop it never occurred to me to boss her around or be condescending. I always encouraged assistants to finish beauty school go off get their own shop better yet further their education . Willing to learn more will gladly listen to good advice. Will not tolerate disrespect. Do not have a natural immunity to covid never contracted it because of the proper infectious disease control procedures I practice . Working with two nurses that have gotten covid 3 times. Worked with awesome nurses that I admire. Dedicated hard-working compassionate people. There is always a turd in the soup that ruins the good vibe. Them getting covid frequently is the universe throwing a me acorn two blissful weeks now down to 5 days of quarantine is the devil's work.
A lot of what u were saying is true, I am a nurse, before I was a nurse I was a cnA ,for over 20 years ,it is everybody job to work together as a team, at the end of the day ,sadly to say every nurse is not as understanding as you , it’ is a team effort ,I get that we have to get on the same page , respect your nursing assistant, because thay are ower eyes and ears for these patents,yes ,us as nurses we can empty a bed pan , but we still have to make sure ower charting is done , thay can’t help us with that,it has to be done , at the end of the day respect ower , cna , and maybe thay will respect us as well💕😍🩺🌡💊💉

@@adamdashawn I am located in New Jersey, The RN program is 15k, but will take a long time as I am doing my gen ed classes, but then it takes 2 years to even get started in the Nursing School. Not sure how I can speed up this process.
@@thedream1015 Hmmm, I don't understand why or how an RN program costs less than an LPN program. But I guess it depends on cost vs. timeline. If it is taking 2 years to get into the RN program plus 2 years to complete at 15K, then that sounds like an option. But if you do LPN first which is 12-18 months to complete, then you could do an LPN to RN bridge program which takes about a year to complete but may be more expensive.I would just wait on the RN program since the waiting list will even push you back 2 years even going an LPN.
Adam I love your videos! I watched you as a CNA and now as an LPN and I agree with everything you said! We are all in this together. 💜🩺 I love my CNAs because I was one. But I find myself getting taken advantage of sometimes because my CNA coworkers still see me as a CNA and not a nurse now.

Why do they want to be cnas for 20 plus years then complain upgrade please
Facts!
I agree been a cna since 19 im 33 working at the same facility since 19 and currently just enrolled in lvn school I am sooo ready to upgrade
Walmart pays as much as a CNA .

Now THAT was a word!!!
Yeah CNA has to do all of it even kitchen drops the ball on CNAs
My Favorite Ted Talk Thus Far! 😛
These CNA nowadays are terrible. At the end of the day who is gonna do the nurses job?
CNA work is the bottom of the barrel that's how they treat CNAs even tho they need CNAs they treat you like you aren't worth anything.
Had a cna turn on a beeping pump of fluids that was being held due to infiltration. Family saw and went wild. Some cna play nurse but don’t wanna play cna
Why didn’t you disconnect it and turn the pump off? 😂
Granted, the cna should have asked first, but that incident could have been avoided if you would of turned the pump off
Well said!

Go to agency.
And I oop!

Adam I love your videos! I watched you as a CNA and now as an LPN and I agree with everything you said! We are all in this together. 💜🩺 I love my CNAs because I was one. But I find myself getting taken advantage of sometimes because my CNA coworkers still see me as a CNA and not a nurse now.
I understand the struggle. That was something I had to overcome as well.
You got to put your foot down and say something cause if you don't they will take advantage of you.
