This is so true, the struggle is real smh 🤦🏽♀️ being a CNA today isn’t easy at all. While I appreciate the experience and try to go in positive minded and make my patients feel the best they can! It makes it really hard to give good. Patient care when you’re only one person and you have so many patients to attend to. It days where you barely get time for a lunch break! I had to learn I have to take care of myself first! I can’t give good patient care if I’m not taking care of me, so as a CNA you definitely have to be advocates for ourselves. I hope laws change, and they make it mandatory not to have a certain number of patients per Cna and the same with nurses. Thanks Zed!🙏🏽💕
Thank you for this truth! I believe it will get better eventually , nursing unions are coming and when they do it’ll be a wild time & conditions will lighten up 🎯 keep the faith friend 🎯
PREACH. The ltc job I started is 2:40+ at night, 1 nurse:40, or extra floors if short staffed. Behavorial units are supposed to be 2:20 and a float. I showed up, brand new baby cna, 4 days in...I the only one on that unit. No toa, no sheet even telling me the floor schedule, no code for the doors. i found out I was supposed to have a card to activate code white buttons, didn't even get that. No nothing. I almost walked out until the other CNA showed up&we both agreed it was unsafe with no float, nurse had 4 units that night. i was the one who was like nope I'm calling the charge. We need another float & I knew they had them. The floats had been assigned and they weren't moving full timers bc "they'll be mad at me". She told me this was just how it was and I would "get used to it". She told me I was perfectly safe. We didn't even have security. If one little thing had happened we would have been screwed and as it turned out- some bad stuff happened in the past at that same place, same shift, same bad ratios. They have the staff. They can even get more staff from an agency they work with. They won't. They're too wrapped up in "it used to be worse" "you'll get used to it" and everyone turns a blind eye on the floor. They will even claim they don't have night shifts left to give out when people *want to work*. They are that determined to only provide the minimun. They only care about looking "fully staffed" on paper. I am sick with anxiety going back in until I can get a hospital job. My next shifts I'm on the floor alone "maybe with a float if we're lucky!" I'd have no problem with this job with safe ratios. RATIOS. MATTER. EVEN AT NIGHT These residents dont 'just sleep through the night' Thank you so much for saying so👏
Thank you so much for your advice, I finally passed my CA CNA state exam. I had the longest skills😂 bed bath, mouth care and donning ppe empting and hand washing. I can’t wait to finish my prerequisites and get my RN degree
I definitely agree with you about not stopping at the CNA level it’s too much stress and strain on the body and mental to be doing this for 5+ years. I’m coming up on a year and already planning my exit, I think I want to do LPN then go RN. However I know for sure this isn’t something I want to do long term I refuse to break my body down from being overworked.
Thx for sharing. Paints a picture of what to expect at worst. Everything that could goes bad goes bad at some point. Ratio in these blue-collar jobs is a problemn for sure.
I’m going for my Lpn in a couple months I’m just gone work in assisted living until I get my rn and when I get that I’m gone work either in dialysis or work for Ohio department of health
Here’s some red flags if they’re always hiring and they’re offering a $1,000 sign on bonus and a state health inspector comes in with several complaints bad reviews on the facility that you’re wanting to apply at those are red flags
when are you getting your RN? are you still aiming towards that... im half done with my EMT course, and soon to be finished with my nursing pre reqs. Is RN nursing something you are still considering?
@@iizidlaury2023 do you think not doing the CNA thing prior to going to nursing school is a disadvantage? nobody told me being a CNA was critical to doing it, and my community college has an associates for for nursing. I plan on after getting the full ba though . I feel like i might get burnt out on healthcare before I even get my nursing degree if i was getting yelled at by old people alot. Currently my day job is substitute teaching ( which only requires a degree). it pays 26 an hour and i have zero responsibilities. I usually bring a textbook and study for my night courses and get most of my homework done while I'm on the clock. im gonna try and hold onto this job as long as I can because of the reason I just mentioned. It hits 2 birds with one stone, unlike EMT where id be busy all the time, or sleep derpived. but i dont know. I'll see waht the future holds. stay strong and looking forward to another vid!
@@fun4225 i dont think its a disadvantage, emt helps too because it shows you know how to handle high stress situations. you could apply for a cna but it would cost more money and time for the program. you could try being a bedside caregiver and itll look good for you since you're an emt + caregiver.
Sir, I wanna become CNA but I have a question, do you have to get covid , flu, influenza and other vaccines to work as a cna or nurse in different facilities? will I be able to avoid shots or it is part of the job? thank you for answering

EVEN AT NIGHT
These residents dont 'just sleep through the night'
Thank you so much for saying so👏
I was 28 years a CNA at a health care facility. Poor patient tech ratio is real.❗️
I’m telling you it is not a game! 🎯
Oh you're leaving? B, I guess we're leaving together, F out of here. LOL got me F'D up 😐.
I ain’t left yet , I’m just in school! Very much still in it 😂
Appreciate these real videos thanks for uploading
I’m glad that it helped, thank you for watching 🎯
Thank you so much for your advice, I finally passed my CA CNA state exam. I had the longest skills😂 bed bath, mouth care and donning ppe empting and hand washing.
I can’t wait to finish my prerequisites and get my RN degree
Same exact thing happened to me the other day. 20 patients. 19 had a 💩 blow out and the last one threw up on me
We gotta be twins fr 🎯
Like fr 😂

Scary 😮 - But informative!! 😇 = YOU!! 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks for the love 🪜

Don’t let me scare you , I just want to let you know what’s out there 🎯
This is all facts in North Carolina. It’s annoying
Happens in FL too
It really is , I hope we get it together and I mean QUICK 😂🎯
Sounds like everywhere but Cali and Washington 🎯😅

Ratios are the worst in certain settings , beware🏁
Wooowww. They left you high and dry that particular night. Geezzzuussss
High and dry man , it was wild , glad I’m in the hospital now because nursing homes are ROUGH 😂🎯
@@iizidlaury2023I’ve been there it’s definitely rough
Great content!!!!
Thank you for that I’m just trying to help 🎯🤝🏽
I meant tell you I passed my test last week I live in Ohio they call us a Stna but it’s the same thing I plan on going to nursing school this December
dude im off orientation im so scared cna btw in the hospital
Don’t be afraid , once you start you’ll see how normal it really is 🎯
But the sad part is depending on what area your going in rn don’t have it any better either I guess you just have to go in and do what you have to do
I know that sucks , I hear about bad areas , I hope this changes soon!
I’m going for my Lpn in a couple months I’m just gone work in assisted living until I get my rn and when I get that I’m gone work either in dialysis or work for Ohio department of health
Health dept jobs are good from what I heard , so I would recommend a lot of people look into it at least 🎯, I’m speaking for nurses not CNA
can you do a shorts on red flags at work places when applying
I don’t do shorts but I’ll make a long format video for sure
Here’s some red flags if they’re always hiring and they’re offering a $1,000 sign on bonus and a state health inspector comes in with several complaints bad reviews on the facility that you’re wanting to apply at those are red flags
Sounds rough! 🤨 Was it a full moon?! 😱
See nah… that’s crazy as hell.
It had to be 😂😂
See why I left! ✅
I would have left too… that’s insane to me.
when are you getting your RN? are you still aiming towards that... im half done with my EMT course, and soon to be finished with my nursing pre reqs.

Sir, I wanna become CNA but I have a question, do you have to get covid , flu, influenza and other vaccines to work as a cna or nurse in different facilities?
will I be able to avoid shots or it is part of the job?
thank you for answering
Yes you have to get the vaccine unless you decide to do religious exemption 🎯
@iizidlaury2023 I'm glad to hear that there is a way to avoid it, thank you
