- Some people believe that some of the best nurses were once CNAs, but if you are a subpar CNA what makes you think that you will be a better nurse?

They need to push professionalism in both CNA classes and nursing school because I work with a too many that unpleasant and sully, not to mention lazy. This includes CNA, LPN and RN’s. It’s unbelievable.
I’m sick of being a cna, because I’m tired of what it’s doing to my body. Lifting and pulling and turning patients well over 300lbs. Too much. Plus the pay not adding up. I don’t mind pushing a med chart or sitting at the nurses station all day. I work in LTC. I start my lpn program August 19th.
Good Luck 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Same girl!! It's not worth it in my opinion, and a lot of the nurses SUCK at helping. They don't know what a "team" is.
I know that's right. Get that money girl
That’s the only thing nurses do in your state? Sheesh I’d love to work there too if that’s the only thing nurses are doing!
Trust nurses do much more then just sit at the desk and push the med cart, we are responsible for every patient on the unit during that shift
They want the check and title and not do any work...
Bingo
Exactly ! ❤️
Sounds like a lot of these new nurses
This is why I work Homehealth, you don't have to tell people to do their jobs .
Omg that is so true, I just can’t see myself in someone’s house for hours. But don’t some nurses just come and go right? Idk I need to do some research
@@yourfavnurseb9699Home care Nurses come and go.
@@yourfavnurseb9699 You are correct! You do your wound care/med management or administration, intake assessment, ect and then you're out! It doesn't take that long, you do the rest (paper/computer work ) at the office (or home if they let you). It's the same with community based nurse cases management minus the skilled tasks. Im in an out and on my way to Target on my salary pay 🤣
@@ronniern6120 I heard that. I need to get better with blood draws. I’m technically only 1 year into being a RN in the hospital and we have phlebotomist so I don’t always get exp with blood draws but I know u have to be good at them for some home health clients right? I might look into it
Yes mama, I would prefer home health full time if I could forreal but from what i be experiencing with homecare the hour's not always guarantee so unfortunately I have to pick up shifts at facilities for back up hours
My mother was an RN for nearly 40 years. She always told me never go into a profession because of money. She said nursing is not like it used to be.
Your mom is correct nursing has change .
I am a CNA in Michigan, and doing my prerequisites at a community college. Working at the bedside does make me reconsider nursing as a profession. I may become an RT but with nursing it’s so many opportunities.
I work in a LTC and my gosh the lack of teamwork is overwhelming. It’s becoming the hunger games! I’ve always helped coworkers but it seems like they take advantage of it because it’s like I’m the Go-To person. Go ask your other peers! Then they look at you crazy when you say No. I’m all for helping, however I’ll help you after I get my job done first.
This my situation right now my job is even willing to pay for me to go to nursing school but idk if I want to continue that route but there are many opportunities than bedside which is true
It’s so hard for good CNAs, the nurses are apprehensive to ask the mean or disrespectful ones to do their job but will work the goods one to the ground. There’s a lot of tension in healthcare, I think the C-19 took a fragile system and made it worst because now most places I go to in LTC do not have any regular staff. The lack of teamwork is so real, but when you work together the work isn’t that hard.
I think if you look at the whole of nursing there are alot of options outside of bedside or outside of very stressful bedside nursing. If RTs are in demand in your area I say look into that too, like you said or try to talk to one to see what it’s like getting a job (try fb groups) rad techs are a good route as well.
It’s a hard decision because you want to know that all that schooling isn’t going to be wasted but there is more you can do in nursing and you know the demand is there. Also, there are plenty of nurses that love what they do and have found facilities that they can call home…I’m still looking for that after 9 years lol but really it is possible.
@@CookWithStephh Thanks for sharing. It was fun to go to work in the beginning when I first got licensed. Now it’s… things changed for the worse. A lot of People go into this industry just for the money and that’s dangerous when it SHOWS in ur bedside manner.
@@yourfavnurseb9699 Thanks! I’ve always worked with approachable and respectful nurses. I don’t recall a mean nurse. Yes they may get on my nerves but I don’t recall working with a mean nurse.
Recently, they would answer call lights and help with bed pan for me. I always appreciate that!!
@@Jacobytru yes it definitely shows and the patient notices !! Blessings on your journey
I can’t imagine having a nurse with a funky attitude. Whenever I had to stay in the hospital, the nurses were always super nice.
If nurses and aides are unable to maintain a positive and respectful attitude towards each other and patients, management should address this issue through appropriate disciplinary actions. Nobody should have to put up with that.
Teamwork, some people don't know what that is .
I respect you because you care! I was a CNA then became an RN. And yes, the job does get more stressful as a register nurse. I was going to work until age 62 years, but I retired after 38 years at the bedside at 60 years old because the new CNA and RN's do the very minimal and I saw myself reminding them to do their jobs, patient's bedside clutter, no water at the bedside. No sense of team work nor proactive to work as a team. My recommendation is write them up. Write incidents reports on those who are not doing their job. This is the only way they will be discipline. Don't tolerated attitude or disrespect. and set the tone.
I tell my CNAs all the time they working harder NOT smarter 🤦🏾♀️!! They refused to work together I just don’t understand it!! The good ones get pushed over all the time in LTC setting!
Right! There was so much more teamwork back in the day. If we all work together we can get it done fast and not be so tired and burnt out. But people started to get that mindset of, “it’s not my patient”. Facilities hired anyone and when you are a hard working CNA the last thing you want is work with a lazy one, all that does is make you start to care less and the quality just goes down.
This needs to go viral
Can’t handle taking vitals and cleaning patients but think you can take on the stress of being a nurse is what gets me. I hear some of the techs be in nursing school and all I can think is “good luck with that”
That part, it’s sad because yes a tech’s job is very tiring esp if you work with rude, unpleasant nurses and other techs but man, the job isn’t that hard to do well, esp in the hospital setting. But as a nurse you take on SO much more but some just see it as, at least I’ll be able to sit down at the nurse’s station all day…
Taking vitals ain't nothing..🤔
@@sjtalksandlife exactly and the techs I work with act like it’s too much and will sometimes make the nurses pick up the slack. I wish all I had to worry about is vitals and cleaning a patient sometimes.
@@SongzBabiGirl I'm a CNA in a hospital on a unit that intentionally understaffs us, giving one tech 17 patients each. Doing vitals and rounding on patients (cleaning and checking on them) 3x is a lot of work. And I'm a small person, so lots of patients are 2-3x my size, so I need help from my nurse to clean them and there is always hesitation and delay on their part. A lot of the nurses don't wanna help and don't even go into the patient room except for when it's time to give meds. They won't even go to answer the patient's call light when needed! The patients literally see me wayyy more than their nurse, and I think that's ridiculous. There is no teamwork between the CNAs and nurses. A lot of the nurses just wanna give orders to the CNAs while they ignore their patients and sit on their computer and talk all night. This isn't ALL nurses, but honestly the majority of the ones I work with sadly.
@@sjtalksandlifeexactly
...."that's where the block is hot"..,You!...😂😂 so true!
There are some good, hardworking CNAs and then some lazy ones. Same as nurses! But I would prob go work at Starbucks or Target and make more money per hour than be a CNA.. unless I was looking for a path to nursing for little or no out of pocket costs
Not all CNAs have low-paying jobs. My take-home is $1100 a week. Not including my $4000 bonus. I'm in a union that has great benefits. Only been a male CNA for 2 months and I enjoy my work.
@@KingMeMgmt my son brings home more working at Starbucks
@@msstacey777 His take home is more than $1100 after taxes?… well more power to him. Does he get union benefits and pay increases every year?
@@KingMeMgmt actually yes! They have great benefits for their employees. I don’t know about the union part but this is just a job for him while in college. At the end of the day $$ is nice but I’ve been a RN for 20 years and I’ve made great $$ over the years, but working in healthcare has burned me and exhausted me. I may want to work at Starbucks 🤣
@@msstacey777 Thank you for your contribution to healthcare. With that pay I don't blame you.
I needed to hear this as a CNA many of the older CNAs push me to go to school to be a nurse saying I’m too young to stay a CNA which I don’t plan to stay one but idk if I want to continue in healthcare because every nurse I work with be stressing and saying they wish they chose something else
It’s true, a lot of us rant about the job, hence this video. It’s tough taking care of people but I think it’s good to know that there is life beyond bedside nursing, and even getting out of hospitals and nursing homes can help. My friend works at a women’s clinic and she loves it, it pushed her to go to NP school.
@@yourfavnurseb9699 this is true I’m only thinking about bedside ok this helped !
They will huff and puff and blow the house down 😂😂😂, nobody has to tell the Nurse to do our work because we are responsible for that License!
When you hate your job its time to train in something else. Everyone look at the pay but there are other things you can do to make a good salary and be better at it.
This is true for most careers. I just finished my Bachelor's in Business administration, but I kept my cna certificate. i work the medical Filed part time and keep my mouth closed for the most part, but what i do find weird is some lpns, or nurses who have a bachelor's like me assume because I kept my cna certification that I am uneducated. My mother taught me humility, and I judge folks according to their behaviour, not title. Technically when I work in the medical field, those with higher degrees in that field are more experienced in that job role, but not more educated than me. When i do reveal it to some, they always smile. I am Medicaid certified in my state. I have my own NPI number through Medicare, and bill patients at my regular Job in case management. we never know who we're working along side of, job titles are just that.
They think nurses don’t do anything. They’re in for a rude awakening!!
Unfortunately, some ppl have no work ethic. I’m all about teamwork.
I think the stress of being a CNA is very stressful. I think nurses are burnout and stressed out as well. Most CNA would probably stay a CNA if their pay was much better but the pay is not paying. The workload is too much at times having too many patients at one time. It is very hard to take care of 20 to 30 patients at a time that causes burnout of CNA. Some nurses treat the Tech like it is their personal assistant some nurses do not help so it makes it hard for CNA to want to really give care just like nurses. These hospitals are the blame because they cut back on having enough CNA to cover the shifts. Therefore it makes it hard for nurses and CNA. I understand what you are saying but everyone is burnout and ready to do something else.
As a new tech at the hospital I agree. I see it everyday
Some nurses should not be a nurse who were never cna's.I work with nasty attitudes who were never nurses
Why is it that when an aide tells a nurse about a residents condition or request for medicine they get all huffy puffy rolls eyes or flat out ignore the cna?
Because both professions attract and harbor miserable people and attitudes. That's why I left.
@@Zizzyyzz True. I really do not want to be in this field but it’s the only in demand job that I can think of outside of trucking in my area that pays really well and is relatively easy with not a lot of schooling. The work is easy but dealing with co workers bad personality traits is a drain for me.
@@jaymorgan. What about bus driver, especially for special needs children?
@@jaymorgan. ain't no cause for that..The CNA works closest to the resident, they should know about the residents pain level more than the nurse. Ignoring the CNA will not help the patient..🙄
@@sjtalksandlife Exactly. I don’t understand it.
i’m a tech. and i love teamwork 🤣 i would’ve brought the linen and everything asked you if you wanted me to get the vitals 🤷🏽♀️ especially if i had the time.
😊 i like teamwork too, if i can make it easier for you, im going to do it and if you got time to help me out that’s great. At the end of the day the patient gets all the benefits of us working together and we all feel less tired, plus it makes for a better work environment.
2:34 minutes into this video, and all I can do is agree!
I just had this conversation with another RN! So many are doing it because they figure "might as well to make more money!"
As a RN it is so difficult working with a rude PCT/CNA!
It really is hard. I really do appreciate the ones that do a good job and have a decent attitude, there is nothing like a good tech, they can make or break your night.
Techs, Cna is a low barrier to entry. So that's why for some of them there's little effort. I've known plenty of nurses who were techs/Cna who never changed their attitude.😢 Girl, after C-19, I will never go back to the bedside. Tech has been good to me!
Ive been a CNA for 13yrs.. im going back to school to get my RN Oct 3rd... ill be working from home while im in school. My body has had enough nurse b
Tbh i loved being a CNA vs a nurse. I was done with being a nurse after 3 mnths on the job. I love the money as a nurse and at this point thats why I stay because the money and ill always have a guaranteed job as a nurse
They just want the money they don’t want to serve and help others that are in need so if that’s not their calling they should get out of it . Because a lot of elderly people are complaining that the CNAs are very heavy handed and have attitude problems when it comes to cleaning them and moving them around . God bless all the nurses all around the world but do understand the elderly people do have families and will take the necessary precautions to do whatever it is they have to do to get you up out of there. Thanks for the message God bless you and your family 🙏🏽✝️❤️
IM JUST LIKE HAVE SOME SYMPATHY. HAVE A HEART !!!
I’m in nursing school with a lot of ppl who say, I’m here bc I’m tired of being a CNA. Um…beloved. Nursing is cna work.
I’m a cna and I’m appalled every fukn day with techs that don’t understand their role.
I see some of them in my nursing school. And they are CNA’s and they have a negative attitude toward the topics we have to learn and are always complaining. Sometimes try to get it in the way of your focus by gossiping and trying to be bullies.
Yes!!! The whole profession has tanked, I think some of use do it for the wrong reasons or start of wanting to really care for people only to see that the system doesn’t support that and instead we all just get stressed out.
@@yourfavnurseb9699 I think that’s part of it.
In the case I mentioned I think that they see the amount of studying and effort that is required to achieve a nursing license and they didn’t realize it was required until they get in it.
They probably work around nurses and think it will be easy for them.
These people were failing classes, cheating during tests and then tried to disrupt other’s learning.
Unfortunately, it is YOUR patient not our patient. Because if anything happens, you know they aren’t going to go after cna, it’s always Guna fall back on you. I’m speaking as a nurse who switched floors because we never had dependable cnas on a very heavy , very sick tele floor.
You can tell how some of these “professionals” treat their family. Techs have specific duties within their scope of practice. Let’s not play.
Sorry I’m a smiling and hardworking cna 😂. I’m just naturally cheery. I won’t do any small talk though unless it’s about work or with residents
I swear the Techs in NYC are nasty. Nasty attitude, dont wanna be here type of thing. Seems the job attracts lot of unhappy ones bcs its relatively easy to get into it.
You're right, I was a CNA, then LPN and now and RN. They can be really unprofessional and ignorant....it's sad because they're all adults. I'm in NY too, but I worked in Florida and some of the CNA's and Nurses were just as nasty. Smh.
@@christines6386yea I’m in Florida and almost all the nurses have attitude that I have worked with only the ones who used to be CNAs are more humble
I've worked as a non-license aide in a assisted living facility. The problem with being an aide is the nurses get an attitude, and think they are better, and smarter because they are a nurse. One resident was having a heart attack, my co-worker was the one that realized it while the nurse took her time calling the ambulance. We had to end up giving her CPR, but she didn't make it. My last job was at an AFC home, but they had us doing nurses work. Passing meds the whole nine. We had to learn as we go on wound care. In most cases aides have to do everything that nurses do, plus their job. Its more structured in a hospital setting, and the roles are more defined. In Michigan Assisted living facilities/AFC homes are not required to have a nurse on staff, so aides and med techs do a nurse's job on an aides salery..🙄
i’m 19 and i have friends that went down the same path as me because of the money and didn’t last. they quit or got cussed out for not having proper etiquette with patients. ALSO some of the seasoned techs with years experience just be quick and rude. complain about everythingggggg
It’s not the tech’s role to remove the trash, but it’s a good curtesy for keeping the room clean and fresh.
Removing linens is the tech role, or anyone that removes them from the bed, in the hospital setting.
Maybe different states have different rules because where I reside cna’s, pct’s, do remove trash, linen etc…
@@drea4360 oh, that’s not down south. Good to know though.
I thought every large hospital had a EVS team! Because, I see both sides. You have lazy people on both sides and it’s so sad because the patients will suffer or the one nurse or tech that does their job.
I don’t like the attitude either, but technically nurses are responsible for same jobs as the cna. It’s a lot taking care of maybe 20-30 maybe more in nursing home or 15 in a hospital setting. If all the cnas quit the nurses would literally have to do it all then there would be no nurses. Cna’s already not paid enough for all the tasks they expect you to do. Maybe they should do away with cna altogether because the nurse/cna divide is draining.
I live your channel. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
I beg the differ when it come to nursing your path become more broad in what you can do rather then cna and LTC is something else and i know a lot of people that hate it they not bad cnas they just tierd of being one becouse we under paid and get treated like slaves
We see these things all the time. CNAs will be horrible and lazy, and they will become a nurse. I've seen it happen all the time.
You preaching sis! I love your videos! My internet nursing sis 😂❤
All Nurses need to be a CNA first in my opinion. Most nurses only have book smarts but no bedside patient care knowledge which they should in order to work as a team to provide the proper care for patients. I get they have a lot of other work such as passing meds and ect however it’s everyone’s job to provide patient care. Nurses become nurses and feel like they don’t have to clean up a patient or even pass a water to them. It’s the total medical teams job. This is the reason why CNAs are burnt out and have these attitudes in my opinion bc you work your behind off with no good monetary compensation or help from your nursing staff. I’ve been there done that and decided to get a degree away from patient care bc of the lack of team work between nurses and CNAs. This is why there is very poor patient care around the world.
It’s giving they are only in it for the money sis!!
I actually love being a CNA, I just hate the people I’m forced to work with lol doesn’t bother me too bad I’m a sociable loner so becoming a nurse is definitely a goal for me 💜🩶💜
let the church say amen!
That CNA training is pretty intense..it was like being in the army..😁😉
It was horrible for me. I did the class to get into nursing school. I rather keep doing massage therapy until I get into my nursing program.
This!!! Omg!!! So true!!!
Please change the work environment. Service with a smile should be given to the ill and shut-in. Support each other!
True statement
I think ppl get nursing confused -see a nurse in a hospital is hella work n stressful but nursing home nurses truly just meds less be honest-or in home care nurses be 1 on 1 so less stressful-either way nursing is great money but u do have to like helping ppl
I worked LTC for 7 years it was SO much work. Meds, dressing changes, preventing falls, crazy family, so many patients and after covid it just got worst ( no regular staff) and to me it was so stressful bc you didn’t have the help like you do in the hospitals.
@@yourfavnurseb9699 that’s a nursing home for ya-some sucks and some I literally just see the nurses passing out meds n that’s it
I have a piece of mind at the hospital job and 7 pts vs the LTC facility with 30 pts. Idk who told you LTC isnt any work
@@taevelli523 LTC u not doing what u doing in the hospital I know n worked LTC n nurses sometimes just pass meds -if it doesn’t apply to u let it fly- I was speaking in general- I seen nurses quit on the first day at the hospitals LTC is work but nothing like the hospital
@@mercedesnicole641 I work in both and it's harder in LTC. It's the pt ratio
Overall I wish people treat their patients as if they were their family members. Its just not in patient care, its on the back end also. I worked in medical records, the calls I would receive on the weekend from nurses requesting patients records and not receiving them during the week is insane. It made me upset, because How are these nurses and doctors suppose to treat patients with no knowledge of whats going on. I was the only person working on the weekend, compared to 30 people working during the week.
Oh wow it’s the whole system. One person on the weekend is crazy
@@yourfavnurseb9699 it was an easy job. Just the fact other employees never faxed over new inpatients paper work to the hospitals what hurted me. That's why I'm going to school for nursing.
Hey Brandy I miss working with you hope everything is going well ❤
GURL, what happened to you. I was talking about you as the chill tech, that does her job well and minds her business! Gurl we need you back! I hope all is well with you too.
@@yourfavnurseb9699 Guurrrrrll!! I burned myself out and had also it got too much so I had to leave. I do miss you guys well some of you lhh and everything is well I’m in AL now saving for school. You should interview Ms Ellen she have amazing stories to give to your everyone. ❤️❤️
People dont appreciate what they have. I did the CNA program homeless. You only appreciate things when you don't have it ir have ti fight to get it.
Just like everybody can't be a CEO or President... everybody can't be a RN. Everybody has a role to play in the hospital.
An if being an RN ain't your role to play that's ok. But it doesn't mean that the next person won't enjoy the ride. Ijs "Future MSN".
❤
They just wana post cute tik toks in their scrubs they want the title
I agree
This ! 😂😂😂
I think you are working at the worst places, because I'm at a facility with basically no agency except nurses rarely.
The difference between that and other places I've worked is night and day. Its because this place is actually run well and most of this stuff doesn't happen there.
At other places I've worked CNAs were just not answering lights, and threatening nurses etc. Behavior that no other job in any other industry would tolerate. It's shocking.
I think you are right because the places that have agency are technically the worst places, other wise they would have regular staff.
Never were cna's.
They will huff and puff and blow the house down 😂😂😂, nobody has to tell the Nurse to do our work because we are responsible for that License!
