- Main reasons why you should pursue a career as a nursing assistant. I speak on myths about being a CNA, as well as the true pros to this position. I was a nursing assistant for three years before i became a nurse, and i think CNAs make better nurses because they are much more well rounded in healthcare. Comment your thoughts!

Hey Lil D!! Thanks for the CNA video!! You are Awesome my friend!! 👋👍😀
the best nurses are usually the ones who were CNAs first
FOR SURE!
@@DabidRobinson this is totally true fir you!!❤️
are you sure actually in Pakistan CNA is only for female 😡 so unfortunately I wish to be a nurse Because I can't afford University fees too much expansive so I wish to take a admission in nursing but it's only for female
@@user-qx1ku1mg3n hi maybe u become female yes?
I was few days to my CNA exam but couldn’t $tudy anything because of my busy schedule but thank God I linked up with Mr Riq God bless you more cuz you made it possible for me to pass at once even without preparation
CNA exam is really difficult and frustrating,
can't believe I failed again after studying so hard
I just have 2 weeks to go please what do I do
I’ve studied so so hard and still failed the 4th time
@@clintonyoung2957Am sorry for that some people also passed
through the difficulties just be patient and keep
studying
@@clintonyoung2957 i think you should get someone like Riq , I was like you until someone recommended him for me
I was a CNA it really makes you fit mentally and physically it's a blessing from GOD!!!
I did the CNA course at age 57 (older than the instructor).
Children were grown.
Parents deceased.
Knew the difference between working. hard and working smart.
Prioritize well.
Working out helps too!
I just viewed your Leaving The Unit video. I have spent the last two years in LTC, and I am about skilled out (we did no vitals except monthly weights, could only empty the cath/col). I applied at a local hospital as a PCT, only asking that I be placed where the need was greatest.
I begin in ICU/IMC next week!
You have such great energy, l love that
Thank you! This was very helpful! I’m about to start my CNA course! 😃
I’ve been working at my local ER as a clerk for a little over a year now and I want to start taking classes for a LNA! I’m very excited to start in spring and continue on with my healthcare career :3
You are aware and very awesome 😊 thanks love
🥰🥰🥰 thanks for the support!
New subcriber here and new certified CNA im nervous about interview for a job but thank you for postive thoughts🎈💕
Great content for all cna’s in the country , from Texas
Thank you!
Another great video ❤️
Nice!! thank you!!
Thanks Nurse David, great video 👍🏼
Im starting my CNA program in March. Im thinking of going into home health care. 🙏🙏🙏
That super exciting, there are so many opportunities, and you can make your schedule how you want it
I love how positive your video is because so many people talk negative about this job.
It’s such a vital position and CNAs are honestly the backbone of patient care!
I applied for a scholarship to take my 6 week “nursing aide I” course in the state of NC. Excited to FINALLY get this opportunity to join nursing in the midst of this COVID stuff.
Yay!!! That is a great start and there are plenty of opportunities.
I been cna for 12 years took course in EMT-B. I am thinking of going for RN next
Word up David !!!! Make videos showing proper technique in CNA skills !!!! And new students are nervous about the exam !!! Jus an idea buddy
Definitely a good idea! Thanks 😄😄😄
Hi everyone. If I’m a health care assistant in the UK (called nurses aid in USA) where can I go online to find jobs in USA ? It would be under the EB-3 Unskilled visa. I don’t know of any agency’s or websites that fund foreign nurses aids.
Thanks David for ur videos.. Unfortunately I finished the course of NA now am applying for CNA 6mths duration, hope to achieve the best
Keep it up
You are such a kind soul. Your patients are lucky!! I want to become a CNA because for years I've been interested in nursing but I pursue different career goals. Now I am 29 and I love the idea being a CNA in a hospital. I really think I'm going to take the course to become one. This is one of the few positive videos I saw on being a CNA. I know it's a lot of physical work but I want to experience what it is like to work in healthcare. I'm crazy, right? 🤣
Working as a CNA is hard but you can leave at the end of the day really feeling like you made a difference! The field needs more people like you, who want to do the job. Let me know what you end up doing!
@@DabidRobinson thank you!!!
Thanks david
Of course!
@@DabidRobinson .David what's the cost of studying cna
I have completed my pcl nursing and want to persue my future in US but I'm not registerd nurse .....so can you please tell me if I can apply for the CNA for the time being in US before being registered nurse?
so useful information! I am 22 years old who graduated from cc as a business major. However, I am feeling that business is not for me but cna is! I will take cna courses on next spirng semster to become a CNA! I cannot wait my life!
Congrats!!! Very exciting! Thanks for sharing and make sure you hit the like button
I been working in hospital since oct and going for EMT-B Er tech
You can get your UK worker visa and after 5 years in the UK you can apply to be a permanent resident. That's my goal
Okay what do you think of this plan:
1. Complete prerequisites for nursing school
2. Take (and pass) the CNA cert course
3. Get a job as a CNA
4. Apply to nursing school and pass
5. Get a job as an RN
is this the order I should do things? Thanks.
That is the exact route I took when getting into nursing, and you honestly cannot go wrong if you are able to do this too. Being a CNA will get you that much more prepared for nursing and hey you may be able to find a job that helps pay for your RN!
ty so much i always feel like im missing something or doing something wrong@@DabidRobinson
No and please reach out if you have anymore questions! but honestly that sounds like a solid plan.
But I agree with what people have said too, Nurses who were once CNAs have been the best Nurses because they help out when needed and they even help transport and feed. There’s a lot of lazy nurses who wouldn’t even bat an eye on CNAs or even think of helping. I don’t like working with those lazy Nurses who just sits in the Nurse’s station on their phone and gets mad at you for some reason.
Lil D, you were an amazing CNA and because of that you are one of, if not the most self sufficient RN that I know!
Hai I am general nurse and midwifery can you please tell me about CNA program and what is the processing I have 12 years experienced in my nursing career
Here is Korea
I wanna be RN in america
I ask which one is better to get license of cna between Community college and academy?
I heard i can be cna by studing academy in us.
Hi, thank you for your video. I have a question about pay ,you mentioned about playing the field what do you mean? How do you play the field?
I really mean, stay a year at a facility and then move on. Mainly because you pay will increase much faster than staying loyal to a single organization.
Great question,great answer!
I’m going into a skilled facility nursing home with ZERO experience getting $18 an hour whos going to pay for my CNA. In turn, I have to work for them for 18 months. I’m cool with that. I’ll get the experience I need and then I can move on to a hospital near me whos paying CNAS $28 for nights and will pay for my RN…IF I find where I’m starting has no growth opportunity for more pay and tenure positions.🙌🏽
@@yanispeaks400 dam are u in cali or ny?
I'm talking to my CNA, but I feel nervous about the written exam.
How did it go I'm going to do all the tests soon
Dear,
If i complete cna course for 1 month sort course can i get a job as fresher?
How much salary i can earn as a fresher CNA?
Greta video!
Hey I am looking into getting my cna license here
I just started a 10 week program at the local community college
Very nice!
Damn why is it so long
Can a person who has studied a certified nursing assistant course in India work in America with that qualification?
I’m getting my Cna license ASAP they pay good money here in dc starting off at 18 to 21 an hour
Fucking lucky
Here in LA$ 28.00
It’s $37 here in Stockton, CA and $40 in Susanville, CA
Can u pls guid what the education is required to get admission????is he or she must have a 10th with science or 12 with science?????
I’m pretty glad that my school offers this nursing assistant program but woah 6 weeks? Mines the whole school year
The six weeks was very condensed haha
Mine was accelerated 3 week program
Guess what David ? Today I passed my last cna test AND IM OFFICIALLY A CNA. Also do you have to always apply online to get a cna job or can I go in person and apply the traditional way? Cuz I hate online and I always end up with these sketchy websites.
I would call some of the places that you are interested in applying at. Just ask them if you apply online or if there is a form. Congrats my friend!!! That is awesome and defiantly something to celebrate!
What is the program did you attend?
Do you make your own scheduled? Are you a traveler nurse or you work through the registry?
I am hired through my hospital for my single unit. Yes I do make my own schedule
@@DabidRobinson cool
What degree did you get when you were in school?
Can I go to school for CNA right away without having any skills in medical field? Or do I have to do another nursing course first?
You don’t need any courses prior to going for your CNA
@@DabidRobinson How about RN...would it be the same? Thank you so much for your reply.
@mr reddit I see what you did there
Retired male RN in 2010 after 23 years. Are retired RNs ever hired as CNAs? I'm 65.
Thanks
Were you required to retire? Can't you just go back to work as a nurse? Perhaps as a supervisor? You're more educated than a CNA! But if you want to do CNA work, why not? You might need a different license. Can't you get your nursing license renewed? Nurses get paid much more, despite what this guy says, and it's the CNA's who do the dirty work.
I would like to do cna 1 month regular basis
What is your oppinion?
You could definitely find a PRN position!
My question is
what is the difference between Certified Assistance Nurse and Caregiver
I believe I have made a video on this topic :D hope it helps
Caregiver just taking care elder nurse assistant can work in hospital unlike caregiver.
I want to be a CNA when I get there in u.s 😊 after I get married.
Yesss you can do it girl
I get so jealous when I hear people say that being a CNA is only “a 6 week program” because in other countries like Canada, being a CNA takes as long as 6 months!! Which is Insane and it’s also not cheap too… so it really varies by location.
That is crazy...
@@DabidRobinson I agree!! Which is why I was so shocked when I found out that the US only has very short amount of time to become a CNA compared to Canada… :(
It's 4 weeks in California
7am to 5pm Monday to Thursday
I'm from California and the CNA program I am taking this summer is only 4 weeks. That is without clinicals.
Also I came across some info about CNA 1 and CNA 2
What is the difference? Do you know? I'm just curious.
@@NamieRye am not too sure but I hope David would shed some light
I will be filming a video on this tomorrow!! Stay tuned!
@@DabidRobinson looking forward
I wish I knew this before all these student loans! 😂
Rightttt 😂😂😂😂
Do you work in USA
I do
Do you have to clean dog poop
Not only that,in rancho los amigos L A county they train you to do the enemas. The Rn insert it and the NA remove it. Let me remind you everybody in California if you work 8 hours legally you have to take 2 breaks of 15min and your 30min lunch . If you do not ask for your last 15 for sure they will not ask you if you want to take it. If you work 12hours you suppose to take 3 breaks of 15 and your 30 lunch .It is the law one more time if you do not ask for your 15 THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ASK YOU every day of work you have to make sure about it.check the hospital policy, contracts if they tell you I DO NOT HAVE A NURSE AID on the floor, the Cn or the RN has to give your breaks if you do not want to take these breaks is up to you.
I almost forgot this, every time that the charge nurse do not give you any break THE HOSPITAL HAS TO PAY YOU EVERYTIME THAT YOU DO NOT TAKE YOUR 15s or lunch make sure to know how to do this process to pay you. If you do not want to get pay is up to you.Unfortunally you have to struggle every day of work for your breaks which are your rights Labor LAW and Federal one.
Which nationality are you. You have this charisma…. 😁
thanks! and please subscribe!
What a stupid question. He's American, duh!
@@musashi-san____1409 mind your own business please
@@myownworld9435 Look who's talking? Daft runt.
I'll be paying $1,975 for 4 week program
holy shit you can find cheaper
At least you will get it done in a month
I’m paying 1,500 for an 8 week cna program
@@Mariely1 what is the name of the program?
Here in California if you are working only a part time you ask to the nursing school for financial aid, I did qualified and the government paid for CNA, HHA and RNA in 3 months every one is a different case try. But let me tell you they have their rules and you have to do everything they tell you for example no absents,be on time do not leave school early, you have to get at least a C on everything and after you pass the course they will tell how many years or months you have to work as NA if you do not follow everything they will cancel $$$$ and you have to pay for the course.
Hospital alway better
