Let’s be honest CNA is backbreaking, I applaud those that are in it. I myself did it for 2 years… for those who might not know CNA=PCT=aid.. some big facilities(nursing homes) will hire u and get u certified but have a committed clause when u get hired meaning u have to stay with them for a certain number of years.. nursing homes are ur best bet. Hospital is harder to get into, that’s when connections come into play and u will have to compete with nursing students who are looking for a job while studying (they are mostly prefered). Idk in other states but in the east coast(NY/NJ) travel CNAs aren’t that popular..yes you can do overtime but it is hard work that by the end of 8 hours ur already beat.. some nursing homes the ratio is 1:6 patients( some are Hoyer lifts, total dependent). In the hospitals it can go to 1:6-8 depending on the area. Personally, I would advise someone to just get an LPN degree.. still in demand in nursing homes and care facilities and less physically demanding job. -Coming from a BSN-RN OR nurse
Travel CNA's making $25-$40 an hour still, and agency staffing CNA's making bank too. Also if you a CNA in a big city, without traveling you'll make $20-$30 an hour. I'm a CNA but not working as one and its astonishing how much they're making in Kansas City, Missouri these days. I'm shook!
No lies told. Been traveling as CNA since 2020 and the money is good. Keep in mind that the higher paying contracts usually have the hardest assignments at times. Once you get used to it its not bad. We have to endure grunt work anyway so why not get paid for it. Im currently in school for nursing as well and because of travel $$ I can take off when i need to for studying and ect. Love this video❤
Ive worked with some great CNAs that deserve every penny of their hard work! I started as a dialysis tech and now a nurse (best decision made). Everyones path is different. You decide what works best for you and thrive in it!
Private Duty Home Hospice is an amazing career. I loved it with Geriatric that is . I couldn't handle children it just broke my heart to see children on Hospice and End of life management care . If you are a person who likes to sit and listen to stories and history of the past PDHH (private duty home hospice ) is the way to go. All of my patients say the same thing about me that they wish others would do is Sit and just listen. They get very lonely and very bored and need someone to just listen to them . And not always talking about their health and what did they do or eat or if they took their medicine. I don't need to ask any of that . If the nurse before me did the job correctly then I have everything I need in the file so why do I have to ask . I give them a chance to be an adult and human. I don't talk at them I talk with them and don't treat them like a child. They are grown adults who have had a long and very interesting life . Some more than others and they loved to talk about it so let them..
Thanks for this video, I thought it was just travel nursing that made more money! Overtime really does skyrocket pay, it's nice to get scheduled 12s or 16s out of these LTC facilities and then having 3-4 days off to yourself and making more than if you go 5 days a week for 8 hours. Sometimes I get to float and just do vitals and hydration, meanwhile travelers have to work the floor lol, also I didn't know about stacking up the certifications
Yes travel is great for CNAs ! And the more certifications you have the better and stronger your resume !!❤️ I like longer shifts better too more time off!!
I have 18 years in home care experience I can't believe I'm looking into getting my CNA I thought I have found my calling but maybe it's time to venture off into travel CNA . I swore I said I never would become a CNA I just didn't want to work in a facility ( nursing home) but I did for the first time this year. I have so much knowledge that I'm sure it be a cake walk for me and put my family in a better position I'm making 16.25 with 18 years of experience. Also my daughter's not even out of high school yet and already working in a facility and has her CNA. I told her about this.
I’m from Chicago I notice you do make more money when it comes to shift differential and working evening/night shift but what I am noticing if your trying to work in nursing home a lot of nursing homes here don’t do shift differential which doesn’t make it worth it unless you work doubles if you want to make more money you have to go to the hospital
@@africanredemption15 well, I'm single, just a dog. Would like to find a good job. Would like to live in Michigan during the summer and phoenix in the winter. I have properties in both states.
Is there a length you need to be a CNA before traveling? And I’ve heard that on apps like Clipboard, you can take shifts that are urgently needed for $40-$60 or even $90/hour, but I’m curious how often that happens. I know on holidays the pay goes up, but how often every week will there be shifts like that that double in pay?
Question; Once Certified as A Nurse Assistant how can that Certificate be used to travel as a CNA with that State a person took the training in But seeking to travel with their Certificate?
Although what your saying is true but most companies won’t even consider you unless you have already been a CNA for about two years. I’ve called agencies to how much experience you need to even be signed to a regular agency…the first two years will be at an assistant living for $16 a hour in Texas
I woukd like more tips and how to's in finding and working for an Agency CNA in Florida. What do you recommend? Please provide me with more than just one short comment. Thank you😊 Kind Regards,
I’m a single mom and have school aged children and trying to figure out how I can be a traveling cna.. Is it possible that I can find a traveling job in my own state but act like I’m coming from another state so I still make traveling money?
Okay thanks I also just found out that being a “local travel cna” is also an option I just won’t be eligible for travel stipend if less than 50 miles away from my home. I spoke with a traveling nurse about this and she said her and her friends lie and use hotel addresses that are far away so they can still get the travel pay she claim they don’t double check the address but I don’t know bout all that
If I became a CNA for a year, but quit for a little while to work a different job, can you jump back into CNA work? Or would you need to get some kind of certification or take a test or something before?
@@preciousoriakhi so were you working part time CNA while studying BSN or ADN? Sorry to ask i’m thinking about going back to school but I just don’t know how to balance working and studying at the same time I’m currently a Nurse Aide
Contact your local Community college ask if the offer an LPN/LVN program if so you should enroll in ENG 101 and Basic Math usually that's the only requirement some states may require an A&P class. Also you will need to take a TEAS exam. Community college is way cheaper and you will be able to apply for financial Aid so you may not have to pay at all.@samanthagultia7428

Who did you go through for IV administration certification? CNA'S look into becoming wound certified. You get paid good money
How do you get wound-certified? I'm 3 weeks from completing the training.
Please can you give me information about the wound care certification, 0:02

@@colinl5951Become a traveling CNA.
Do it. You have some great skill sets. Add some basic medical to it. Your an asset.
My girl friend makes more money than me and she is a CNA and I am a nurse.
So basically become a P.C.A. here in CT. They train you for the hospital. So you already have more skills than a C.N.A.
what city
Thank you so much for the info! Sis' eyebrows though!!!! 🤎🤎
Of course you’re welcome and thank you ❤️❤️

How do I study for and pass the CNA state exam? The school cheated and never gave me the textbook.
I’m a single mom and have school aged children and trying to figure out how I can be a traveling cna.. Is it possible that I can find a traveling job in my own state but act like I’m coming from another state so I still make traveling money?
Yes! You can take on remote contracts ! Or you can work with an agency along with your full time job. Pick up whatever days you want it’s flexible.
But keep in mind the healthcare may not be as good

Looking for a cna job in kansas missouri....any recommendations please.
Check indeed ! There will be tons of jobs that pop up. Nursing homes hire faster than hospitals. But hospitals have a lighter work load
❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
As a CNA with not much experience at bedside is it a good idea to travel!?
I would say get at least 6 months to a year of experience
@@preciousoriakhi thank you
As a CNA when you travel is this for hospital or LTC?
I can’t thank you enough for this video I learnt a lot from it
Can you join a agency as a new CNA?
@@dominiquehaynes7208 no they need to see that you have experience of at least 1 year.
@@preciousoriakhiWhat about if i have 6 months ?
Can you work @ a different state with a different state nursing license
Yes you can. You have to apply for something called a reciprocity for the next state you want to have a license to work in.
How did you transition from CNA to RN?
I was a CNA while I was in college getting my degree
@@preciousoriakhi so were you working part time CNA while studying BSN or ADN? Sorry to ask i’m thinking about going back to school but I just don’t know how to balance working and studying at the same time I’m currently a Nurse Aide
There are online CNA to LPN bridge programs.
Contact your local Community college ask if the offer an LPN/LVN program if so you should enroll in ENG 101 and Basic Math usually that's the only requirement some states may require an A&P class. Also you will need to take a TEAS exam. Community college is way cheaper and you will be able to apply for financial Aid so you may not have to pay at all.@samanthagultia7428
