I’ve been a CNA almost 35 years and have worked in every field of healthcare.I even published a book on CNA’s And their roles
Are the books in your RUclips name?
What’s the name of your book? I’d love to see it!
I would love to get your book
you got links where I could check it out?
How sad. No way in hell I could do that for 35 years.
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.
Ya'll are amazing!
As a nursing student I’ve seen that nothing can run without CNAs. But some of the most kind hearted people you will meet. I’m taking my state test to become a CNA soon!!
But I wanna be a CNA for a good 5 years tho
was it hard to learn what the process of working was when u first started working as a cna?
CNA's are really the backbone in healthcare. Kudos to all CNA's out there for all their hard work 😊
I agree ❤️
There's better medical field professions, CNA is the hardest and lowest paid of all medical professions, medical assistants, nurses, emts, surgical technician, CNA is definitely the hardest. You clean so much poop and you get about 10-12 residents per shift it's crazy.
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.
It’s definitely not for everyone. You definitely have to have a heart for it. I’m so happy that you have clarity about it.
But the money is good . Pays a lot of bills and you can treat yourself
It’s so good you’ve figured that out early on. Yes it may pay bills or some of your bills depending on what expenses you have. 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 ❤️

Try a med tech I'm a CNA also been doing it since 2002 so I have cleaned a lot of poop but as said there is other things you can do other then a being CNA stay positive you are still young you will find something that will make you happy to go to work don't give up 😊
A good CNA is invaluable. As an RN for almost 30 years, I still remember my first CNAs. They kicked ass.
Yes. We is healthcare workers as a whole are amazing, especially when we work together.
I was a CNA in a LTC for 2 years and just accepted a casual RN position at my local hospital! CNA is a tough, physically demanding job and I have so much respect for CNAs!! I’m so happy to have started as one before becoming a nurse; it really shed a light on how hard their roles are and how important they are in the healthcare team! Kudos to you!
Yes! I know being a cna before becoming a nurse will only keep me humble and considerate ❤️

@@nickcortese5640lol that's not funny but it is I know I can't do I clean my dog poop and that's it
Looking at this video remind me of the days when I was a CNA working 16hr shifts. I'm a LPN now and definitely thank for my CNAs 💪
Congratulations! And thank you so much.
Hardest workers in the industry. We are so grateful for you!!
Thank you!! I appreciate that so much!

i was in the army infentry for 6 years...and i can tell you the year i worked as a cna and having over 12 residents a night to take care of.....cna is 100% harder the patience you have to have..sweating like crazy moving people from place to place....having to give showers all the while being judged by every nurse and familly member...big props to cna,s
Yes, it’s definitely can be challenging at time!
I laugh at times When I watch the nurse videos on RUclips. Yes for me the medical field is not a dream any longer, it's not worth it anymore!. I quit my my job as an RN last three years ago after almost 17 years in the field. It was not an easy decision but life is too short to dread going to work everyday. No amount of money can buy real happiness Lol but friends I'm not asking you to resign from your job or abandon your business but be wise! 💯
You said it all right there ma'am! I don't really like my job but I love what it provides for me and my family. This pandemic has people rethinking working
Were you a bedside nurse ma'am and What do you do now, how did you plan yourself before quitting?
right now I run my own business and While I was still in service I planned towards early retirement, making about 2k weekly from my retirement investment portfolio trying so much to build more side hustles and extra income
Wow impressive you're making quite a fortune speaking of investing I have heard about this but I don't really know how to start can you explain?
There's a lot of investing options but my best advice get a professional lead you into profitable one that's exactly what I did
I am doing private CNA care for kids and i love it. I just finished my CNA program in May and i didnt know what job to pick from but im glad i chose Private care.
Wow! I rarely hear about this. How did you get into it?
How?
Sounds incredible, how did you get into it?
@@beeroyalty2210 Hi I just seen all you guys comments. I finished my cna skills and written In may-July and after I was officially licensed I just applied to a lot of jobs I made a professional resume and a cover lever with the help of my professor and applied to a lot of jobs mostly with children and did and interview and got hired
@@shamyataylor338 thanks for responding!
Love this video! I’m currently in my 4th week of my CNA program and I’m both nervous and excited to actually start working as a cna. & this video literally came right on time for me!
I’m so happy to hear that, thank you! And you’re going to do great. Finish strong.
hello! forgive me can you help me? I need to start cna training but I don't know where to start, what would I need to start thank you 🙏
@@ruthnsimba1183 hello, try searching for cna certification programs , i signed up for a program that costs 1700 in CA they have a payment program and you basically pay a sign up fee, they will tell you what they need from you to finish the sign up for example a physical exam, live scan fingerprinting, purchase of a uniform, ssn card and covid vaccine card. From there they tell yoh when classes start and their policies.
How long did it take you to run the CNA course
I am so happy that you demonstrated the proper way to wash your hands 😊
I am just starting a PCA job and I am looking more into the CNA field and this video just goes to show how hard working CNA jobs are. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video ❤️!!
I have been a Cna for 12 years, I had other jobs but I made sure I kept my Cna certification up to date. Being a Cna is a very stressful job in a nursing home especially if they are short staffed, you will be sore daily, this job is not for the weak.
Being a CNA is a very weight-bearing job. I highly recommend to people who become CNA‘s to apply to well-established and Well staffed facilities.
@@auhneja2164 it seems like they are never fully staffed and that’s what makes the job hard. And I feel sorry for the residents because they cannot get the things they need done in time.
Being understaffed Not only affects the employees but it also and fix the patients. I agree.
Being a CNA does it pay the bills? Like I live alone in an apartment and have a Carnote but I want to get into medical… I will soon after starting a paid training program go into nursing school but does being CNA pay the bills .. like I’m 20 with bills and want a career..
@@prettychosen well I make 20 an hour so it pays my bills
Great content! Everything is so crisp and clear we most definitely do so much!❤❤❤
Thank you so much! And yes we do a lot as caregivers❤️❤️
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 😔
I understand where you’re coming from. Especially since you work morning shift it is definitely a lot more busier and you’re on your feet the entire shift.
Working as a CNA is definitely not an easy job. Are you considering a career change? And if you are to what?
Oh honey, that is terrible! You might need to report to the administrative of the facility or contact HR. First of all being understaffed and sometimes only being on the shift with no help at the time is illegal someone could get hurt. The crazy thing is that they know and they DON’T CARE. That’s my only dislike with agency work at some nursing homes.
@@PrincessMomoh they do it agency or just the regular workers at the job… I’m soon moving on to a different type of healthcare career. I need my body parts after 50 😂😂
Thank you for taking the time and making this video
You are so welcome. Thank you !
Wow!
😳
Pretty babe is rlly doing a lot of hardwork ❤.
You are life saver
A real champion 🏆
Keep the Good work😘
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.
Amazing
Thanks for the video and the information I am currently a home health aide working on my CNA I work in a facility to information from The video was very helpful
Thank you! That means a lot. My goal was to give you guys an ideal day as CNA in assisted living!
Watching this as a senior in high school taking the cna class something I've always dreamed of being able to achieve
Omg! Congrats. Keep up the good work. This is only the beginning.
25 years i been with my company...And thank you as well.
Tysm too for your hard work and thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome ❤️
Ty for ur video bc you explain step by step for each step that you do like as if you are training someone & that's how all the other videos should be instead of complaining or goofing off.
Thank you so much ❣️
Thinking to be a CNA and I came cross to your video. Much needed :D
Thank you, love to hear it!
There's better medical field professions, CNA is the hardest and lowest paid of all medical professions, medical assistants, nurses, emts, surgical technician, CNA is definitely the hardest. You clean so much poop and you get about 10-12 residents per shift it's crazy.
@@nickcortese5640traveling as a CNA can pay well tho’
Thank you for sharing with us
I am a CNA about to graduate with my BSN and let me tell you it is extremely refreshing to see someone LOVE their job and aspire to be the best at what they do ! I work with some lazy and I mean LAZY CNAs that are about to graduate with their BSN and let me tell you .. they are gona be some LAZY NURSES !! I work with some LAZY nurses as well ! 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. Again, this was really refreshing to see there are other ppl out here like me that enjoy what they do! ❤️
Omg, I’m so happy I saw this❤️ every career has its up and down. But when you focus on the reason you love it, it grows ❤️
100%!!!! I work at a retirement resort and I see nurses who leave their patients hanging for an hour or more! Even though the patient is asking for help or assistance. It makes me very angry. I work in nutritional services and I cannot help them myself or I will get in trouble, as I have before. It disgusts me seeing the amount of careless CNA in the field!!!!!!!! I feel so horrible for some of these residents that don’t get the attention and care they so importantly need
The nursing home I work at does third shift does the vitals as soon as we get there then every two hours we do rounds check change usually start it was heavy wetters around 4 AM refill up the personal oxygen machines take out all the trash from the resident rooms chart then at 5 AM we get four residents up
I was a CNA my first job …. It’s a hardd job! Iam in first semester of nursing school ! All health care workers mater ❤️🖤
Yes! All healthcare workers do matter. I am in my first semester of nursing school as well. We got this girly!
I love this video, I may incorporate it in my new hire orientation.
It would be an honor! ❤️
CNAs deserve TONS more pay! For CNAs do most of the work! The least I got paid as a CNA was $8/hr...most I got as a CNA was $11.00/hr.....that was with 10yrs experience.
Yikes, that must have been a while ago, cause now CNA's get paid typically 18+ an hour
Damn that’s what my grandma got in the 70s
That's great you being a doctor
Us RNs are nothing without great CNAs. They truly make the difference and help ease the mental exhaustion and responsibilities we have. Thank you!
God bless you for the work that you do❤
I recommend bringing your own moisturizing hand wash and using a hand cream often 😇
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.
That’s so amazing. I can always tell when a nurse was a CNA before becoming a nurse. Their understanding and acts of service always shows.
i appreciate this video so much because i’ve wanted to be a can and i didn’t know what it consist of and this video was very detailed and helpful thanks
man i also wanted to be a can for as long as i remember but in the end it turned out that i was better suited as a jar
Great video!
luv your vids! I have post notifications on
Thank you !!
I passed my writing and math for my placement exams to be a CNA. I just need to pass a board interview! I can’t wait!!
Thanks for this video so informative...I started my orientation today as a CNA
I’m so happy that this video was informative for you. And congratulations, I hope for nothing but success for you. ❤️
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!
I’m definitely going to try this! I know exactly what thick cram you’re talking about. Thank you so much !!
@@auhneja2164 You're more than welcome! Glad I could pass on a little of my experience to help another caregiver! xo
Thank you to all the CNA's you are very much appreciated!
Thank you ❤️
I should do my own blog, because there is so much to say on the topic of being a CNA…. It is very hard work and can be rewarding when you know you feel good helping a patient.. 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…
Thank u for the video...am nervous to start this honestly
Go in with a mindset to learn! You got this ❤️
This was so helpful
Thank you. That means a lot to me ❤️
I worked in these facility,brookdale is a great place to work,most especially galleria location
I like the idea of being a CNA in a hospital setting.
I especially think it’s a great idea if you plan on furthering your education in a major that will be in a hospital setting.
@@auhneja2164 this should not be a career then right? I don't know if I can handle nursing though. CNA is hard I know but nursing school is a beast as you know. I want to help people in the medical field. At least I think that's what I want.
@@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.
Compared to the facilities I go to, your facility seems so much better, I guess it is a great difference between Assisted living, And Nursing Home.. Assisted Living is so much better….
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!
I am considering going with agencies and doing one on one care rather than work for the facility after I finish my CNA program. Thank you for your comment
For dry hands, I recommend those travel lotion bottles! Life saver
Thank you! I’m using the jergens travel size lotion. It’s pretty good.
“Working Hands” is a great product for dry hands. 😊
Thank you
I am a Nursing Assistant - Acute Care ( in Australia), the best thing for our hands ( that I have found) is The Body Shop's Hemp Hand Cream.
I will definitely look into this. Hopefully they have it here in the US❣️
Can I please contact you on guidance to immigrate to Australia as CNA, am currently on my level 4&5 program and would like to relocate after on
I've had jobs where I've had to wash my hands a lot and I would put a heavy lotion (e.g. with lanolin) on my hands and wear cotton gloves over that while sleeping.
That’s a really good idea, I’m sure I can make your hands really soft!
Idk if you’ve figured out a solution to the dry hands thing but I use hand sanitizer lotion and it works so well, especially since I have eczema !!
Omg, yes love the moisturizing sanitizer!
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.
No my facility does not require us to do laundry. Where y’all short staff?
@@auhneja2164 In pennsylvania
Assisted living do laundry, at Skilled Nursing Facilities the CNA’s don’t do laundry
Thanos for sharing,you make it look so easy, currently pursuing my certification 🇰🇪
You’re welcome, you got this ❤️
I got my certificate through after several times of trying to pass my exam after contacting mr dylan
How does it work ?
Thanks a lot I will write to him now
One solution for dry hands is hand cream specifically what I use is gold bond hand cream I’ve been using this because I work outside during the winter and I’m a bit of a germaphobe as well so I also wash my hands a lot.
Thank you!
Detailed video!
Which country/state are you from?
dove hand wash can help with the dry skin after you wash
Than you so much. I’ll try it out!
Than you so much. I’ll try it out!
I love helping people so I've always wanted to become a CNA. Thing is, my stomach gets real queasy easily. I don't know how I'll do with residents throwing up or me having to change them. Is it a good idea to try this out?
I recommend you should do your research and look up some Day in the life of a CNA so that you can get a good idea of the job criteria. This way you can see firsthand what will work for you❣️
Very professional
I was a cna from 18-30
I miss my patients that’s it.
Good luck to you.
The patients are always the best part ❤️
Thank you
I got accepted for CNA classes. I have intercostal nerve pain that affects my breathing.. How much heavy lifting is there ? Because that's what cause my nerve pain to act up. I dont want to put myself into a position that's going to make my condition worse.
Hi. I liked your video. Could you explain to me why CNA is considered like one of the lowest nursing jobs? What would you say were the hardest parts of your job? 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.
CNA is one of the lower in jobs within the healthcare system. However they are one of the most vital and necessary jobs. 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.
@@auhneja2164 Would you say it's possible for a person who doesn't usually like go to a gym to be able to do the cna job?
@@hauntinloves04 😂In my opinion, I’m currently a cna and I’ll just say u don’t need the gym to work as a cna cause you will technically have a full body workout at work. You will be lifting, turning, running, cleaning ass and maybe take a couple vitals and blood sugars but mainly ur the babysitter of the healthcare field.
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.
Hi I am going to school to become a medical assistant. Do you know if after getting my MA degree, should I take a CNA program to if nursing is for me or should I go straight to nursing after MA?
I would go straight into nursing. In some cases your MA can actually be compared to a CNA. Neither of them are degrees they are certificates that allow us to work in the medical field before we earn our degrees. So after earning one I would definitely go into my field as soon as possible.
@@auhneja2164 my school offers an associate degree, isn't it a degree?
@@EduardoFlores-yn9ki associates degree in nursing? Yes.
@@auhneja2164 I mean medical assistant. Not Nursing. My school offers an associate in MA.
@@EduardoFlores-yn9kithat is a degree but that is honestly not worth it(to me at least).
Nice video 🥰🥰🥳your video is so cool, honestly cna is such a difficult test man , really don’t know what to do but I’m never losing hope.
@ very correct ..
At times it doesn’t matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success..
I have a cousin who never studied much, we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than studies after writing the CNA test last month she passed and I failed 😣, I asked her how she did it , just found out she got her help from Mr Johnson Daryl
Please does anyone know who this Mr Johnson Daryl is ? I really need to speak with him I’m frustrated..
wow so sorry you failed , I have heard so much about Johnson Daryl but I don’t actually have his info ..
I’ve got so many questions !!!!

I’m starting my NA job in less than a day and I’m so scared that I’ll make one of the CNAs mad or something for being new to everything what should I do to try and avoid that BUT ask for help?
Be very observant. Hopefully the first few days you’re following someone around and they are showing you how some things go. Learn as much as you can during that time. And even more importantly, you are on your own journey don’t allow the thoughts of others to worry you.
@@auhneja2164 thank you so much 🥹♥️ and I’ll try my best I went to orientation yesterday and I already loved it still super nervous!
I’m currently in a CNA program at my school and I’ll be going into clinicals soon… any words of advice?
Start strong in the first day! Keep notes and really retain the skill while you’re learning it the first few times. Don’t wait till the last week to become serious about perfecting the skill!
Wear comfortable shoes.
Get right into the field ,Start working asap ,This will help you along the way
There's better medical field professions, CNA is the hardest and lowest paid of all medical professions, medical assistants, nurses, emts, surgical technician, CNA is definitely the hardest. You clean so much poop and you get about 10-12 residents per shift it's crazy.
When you work 16 hour shift do get breaks? How are you able to work so long without getting sleepy?
Yes we get a 30 minute break every eight hours for lunch. And it is definitely a challenge, especially when you first start doing 16 hour shifts or if you already have a busy week. I definitely does off sometimes. But it really helps when I bring my schoolwork for the overnight shift I can study to keep myself up
you need to drink coffee or energy drinks and take a nap during ur 30 min break. If u can't consume caffeine of any sort then u just have to suck it up 😂
Whats the name of the song in the background? 16 Hour shift, do you get paid OT Pay after 8 hours?
The song is a non-copyrighted version of Time Flies by Drake. And no I do not get overtime for 16 hours. It’s just a set hourly at my facility.
omg i’m a med tech at a Brookdale SL , this job is TOUGHHHH been doing it for 3 years and i’m thinking of going back to school for RN . it can be fun some times lol
What are your job duties as a med tech?
@Barbara-pz7wp thank you for referring me to dylan,I passed my exam
Really think into it❣️
can i ask how much is the average salary for CNA?
I might get a job as a cna at the nursing home close to my home.
Do you have any good tips for me
Are you able to apply if you have caregiving experience but not a CNA license
I’m currently in the process of registering to get my CNA and afterward plan on getting my phlebotomy certificate, I’ve been confused on a NCA and PCT if you don’t mind me asking, I know everyone is different but what’s best recommended on getting your CNA or PCT ?
I like to see at what hospitals are hiring for every now and then and they state that they are hiring for PCT but a CNA certification is required? I guess Im just lost?? If anyone can help out on what they recommend? Thank you.
Most facilities require you to have a certified nursing assistant certificate. I recommend you to watch my how to become a CNA video and once you earn your CNA, you were able to apply to different facilities hiring.
Can a person who has studied a certified nursing assistant course in India work in America with that qualification?
Great video! How can I get in touch with you regarding being a guest on our podcast?
Thank you so much. If you guys want to provide me with yawls contact information I will send it via that way.
I love your channel keep it up love
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me.
I’m still debating if I wana take classes
When washing hands you are not supposed to splash any water. Make sure to keep your hands hanging over sink and then dry them with towel .
Wow. You're Guud. Do you do private care? I need assistance with my meals and bathing. 😅
Just quit brookdale; I start as a dietary server in a couple weeks at anthology assisted living
You’re going to do great!
You are good nurse keeping going high sis God bless!!!
Thank you!
Please do more videos.
Okay, will do ❤️
Hi Auhneja... This video is old, but I start class in January. And wanna work at assisted living facility... How many patients did you have on your shift? Did you do 8 or 12 hour shifts? And did they allow ot?.. I'm subscribed as well 😊
On this video, I am working at a long-term care facility. We typically had about 8 to 10 patients. And I worked 2 16 hour shifts a week here. And yes, there was plenty opportunity for picking up extra hours.
@@auhneja2164 okay thanks for responding also I'll be starting part time going to lpn school. The end of April the only reason for the cna class is to get experience and steady income while going to school. I'll only be in school 3 days a week from 6pm to 10pm... I know 1 year experience doing cna would be better.. but I'm in my early 50s and don't wanna waste alot of time.. how long you did cna. Before nursing school. I appreciate the info
Is there a difference between a CNA and a CRNA
I'm starting pct classes next month. And honestly I'm nervous. I don't know if I'm ready to do all this. My plan is to work for at least a year, to figure out if I really wanna do nursing. Because honestly I get more nervous when I watch cna videos.the work load is too much. Blessings to you all.
It’s all about testing the waters. Just go at your own pace and allow yourself to see what you like and what you don’t. Good luck you got this!
@@auhneja2164 thank you.
How is it? Are you liking it so far or is it more than you expected?
you only do rounds at 530 am for night shift? Rounds were done every 2 hours in all the facilities i worked at
We do them hourly
God bless you ❤ 🙏❤️
