- Hey loves,
I hope you all are staying safe through this crazy time in the world. For those that don't know I work as a per-diem CNA, while I'm in my last year of nursing school. In this video, I bring you to work with me again! I show you my current day shift routine working 7am-3pm, and how different it is from night shift (11pm-7am). I will admit it's been very hard working in healthcare through this pandemic, but all we can do is remain positive. A huge shout out goes out to ALL MY HEALTH CARE and ESSENTIAL WORKERS who are truly making a difference during this time. I hope you all enjoy this video, and continue to stay safe. My prayers are with you all!
Xoxo,
Aleysia K. Smith

People need to put more RESPECT ✊ on CNAs. The Cna be having 15-20 patients by their self and be doing majority of the work. You’re very pretty and seem like a very nice Cna that love her job.
Thank you so much for your words! I really appreciate you!!!
As a former CNA “we” rock it’s hard work but I believed it helped me so much during and after nursing school.... great job! Loved the video
Thank you so much! It's such a rewarding job, and I too believe it's helping me transition to be the best nurse!
Aleysia K. Smith it absolutely will help you! Good luck 👍🏾
Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm a LPN in Ohio and I was a STNA (what Ohio calls CNAs) for a year before I was a nurse. Words can express how much I appreciate the CNAs, STNAs, PCTs, RAs whatever your state or facility may refer to you as. I can't do my job without the wonderful men and women who are nurses aides. You don't hear it enough, you are appreciated! Best of luck to you in nursing school! You've got this!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means everything to know nurses do appreciate our hard work even though sometimes it isn't noticed, so again thank you!!
she's so pretty!!!!!!!!
Thank you!💗
Very very pretty!!

I love your day in the life videos so much! Although I’m not in the health care field, it’s super interesting to watch! 💗💗
Aryanna Cooke Thank you so much! I really appreciate it💓
Thank you so much for all you’re doing, you’re amazing 🥰
Thank you so much!!!!
You can tell how busy it can be between day shift and night shift. Keep up the great work!
Thanks suga😗
Your personality is amazing! Love your vibes!
Thank you so much!!
I just started my CNA program and your videos help me a lot! Thank you!
I am so happy it helped you, best of luck!

Thank you so much! This means so much me to me! I appreciate your support and am so happy you enjoyed my videos!! Have a great day yourself!
I seriously love you!!🤍✨ this is such a motivation to me to take out my license ASAP !! Always wanted to work at a hospital!!🤍
Aww thank you! I love you too! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. You will be a great CNA! Best of luck to you!
Love you Chanel!!!!!!! Your awesome 🖤 starting my nursing classes in November 🖤
Thank you love!! I appreciate it! Congrats on your nursing journey!!❤️
Loved the vibe of this video and how detailed it was.. Stay safe ❤️
Thank you! I appreciate your support! Stay safe as well!
Thank you posting your video on CNA. I been studying to be CNA I’m so excited about it I’ve been looking up TH-cam videos in reading.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! My only goal is to inspire and help anyone else who might be on the same path and journey as me! You got this, best of luck to you!
As a CNA we work hard daily, it's fun and if you get to know your patient they will the depend on you as well to ask for you if you give them that attention.
I agree, it can be so fun building a relationship with patients and watching them grow through their journey! I love it!
You're a good example to the rest of us.Thank you!!God bless.
Thank you🥺
ok!
Great video! really enjoyed watching this and it gave me a better idea of what its like to work as a cna!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much!
Hey new subbie! Love your videos 💜 Currently in my senior year of nursing school and I just got a job as a per diem nurse internist/cna. Love see what I will be doing too
Sabyne Rene Thank you! I really appreciate your support! Best of luck on your nursing journey! Let me know how you like your CNA job!!💗
I hope to be as good a nurse as you
Thank you love! You got this!🤍
Love the video . You take yr job seriously. Thumbz up girl
Thank you love!🤍
Really great video to explain what cna does, I was a dsp in a group home and we used hoyer lifts as well and some had g tubes you are spot on. If anyone wants good experience doing this kind of stuff you don't need a license as a dsp and you only have up to 4 patients daily. Super easy
Thank you so much for your support!
I'm taking CNA classes next month
new subbie and I'm from MA too !!! Keep ur videos coming, I'm about to start CNA classes cant wait. I'm so excited to wear scrubs!!!!!!
Thank love!!! I appreciate you! I’m so excited for you as well! You got this🤍
I am definitely showing this video to my CNA students
Thank you so much, I appreciate your support🤍
Hi I’m an CNA as well haven’t yet start work but I will do so this week and I’m so excited . For you not to break HIPPA & Not show much you were great with your explaining with details . I would prefer day shift (7am-3pm) to still have a day to myself at home . I feel like 3-11pm shift Has more responsibilities than any other shifts
NayAisraeL Tv That’s awesome! Congrats to you!! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video! I like day shift too, it can be more hard work than evening sometimes depending on your facility. However, it’s still nice to enjoy the rest of the day! Best of luck to you!❤️
Day shift is ridiculous! I can't do all that work, I will do overnights anytime plus there's a differential!
It’s definitely not for everyone, but for some it works perfect! You gotta do what works for you and yours. & It’s not always about the money. If you choose to work as a CNA for only the money, its truly not for you. It takes heart and compassion to take care of sick individuals! Best of luck to you!🤍
Hey Aleysia, I just realized you are in Boston... I live in Ipswich. Love your videos! Great work!
Yes, I'm from Boston! Thank you so much!
Great video. Stay safe and keep up the good work.
Dawne Chandler Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Stay safe!
The skin care 🥺🤩
Thank you love!🖤
Shout out to TBI! Still my fave population...don’t tell my manager that :p
Also finishing everyone before 9:45?! You’re superwoman
I love Brain Injury too! It's hard to get everyone ready in time, but thank you I sure try!
Wow 🤩 your facility looks like something out of a magazine I mean everything is so organized and put together I can’t believe that the hoyer lift is connected at the top like that we have to go looking for a hoyer lift and only one hoyer lift works properly in the entire facility then on top of that we never have enough wipes or depends and most days we work short and we’ll have like 16 patients per gna / cna and most of the patients are dependent on your team but you might get a few independent patients if you’re lucky and now they are making us pour the coffee and hot water in the cups at breakfast ugh 😩 it’s a disaster but I’m still blessed to get the experience cuz I’m trying to become a registered nurse or nurse practitioner
It definitely might look nice but as any other hospital it has its issues! It's a hard job no doubt about that, but it is great experience for nursing! You got this!
@@AleysiaKSmith thank youuuu so much 🥰
I thought that was the green bridge that goes into Maine for a second but it wasn’t lol
Best schedule is day shift ❤❤❤😊
Very informative video! Im in the education field but I’ve been working at a resident facility for 3yrs and I enjoy working with the residents and it had me thinking about the healthcare field . I’ve been thinking about CNA . I don’t mind helping residents at all. I actually enjoy it. I found a training program that’s inexpensive too the program is $750 all together and they offer payment plan. It covers all you need including scrubs . Always wanted to wear scubs!🤔🤣
That's awesome!! Best of luck to you in CNA school!
If you don't mind me asking what is the name of the program ?
i love your cna series. can you do an after work routine?
Thank you so much!!
Shout out to EVS as well!!!! They are so so so Essential!!!
you’re so gorgeous! God bless you. I love your videos! I’m an upcoming junior in highschool & I want to be a nnp.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support! That’s amazing, never give up! You got this!💗
Good video! loved it!!
Thank you, I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
you is the only one who work with the patients.
We have a whole team working with the patients, I'm just the CNA!
I knew you looked familiar...I think we took SOC together few yrs back at BHCC. You look good girl. Great content 👌🏾
Omg! Yes I remember! I hope all is well. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!❣️
I am a PSA (Patient Safety Assistant) and usually I am responsible for feeding my patients. Some may need help and others may just need direct observation.
Yes!!!
Very good video. Thanks 😊
Thank you so much!
I enjoyed your video!💕 I am a CNA as well I work at the hospital girl working 7a to 7p 🥴 it can be a lot but I enjoy the experience. 🙌🏽
Thank you so much!! xoxo
@@AleysiaKSmith you're welcome!
Do you like working 12 hour shifts??
@@mayleexhu not really.
I start my CNA course March 1st I hope I pass🤞🏼 then when I finish my pre reqs I start nursing school next year
You got this love!! Congrats🤍
omg i love my older cuz you go girl
thank you! love you!!!
I love you so much
Hi Aleysia, first of all you are great inspiration so thank you and can definitely see you have passion for what you do.I have a question though, why did you pick working in a hospital setting rather than in a home care?
Thank you!! I really appreciate it! I do like home care, but I prefer the hospital setting for the experiences within the different specialties!! :)
Hii 💕😊 absolutely love your videos!! Can’t wait to Become a great one just like you . I did have a question tho, What are the steps to becoming a CNA? Like what do I need to qualify as one in California? I’ve looked online but there’s so much stuff I don’t know what’s the best lol ❤️ I’ll appreciate the help thank you and you’re so beautiful Queen .
I am from Boston, MA so I am not familiar with CNA licensing in California. I would suggest to apply to a CNA program in your area and go from there! I wish you the best of luck love!
Hi girl love the video!! Super informative 💕 do you work pretty much everyday?
Thank you! I work per-diem which means I make my own schedule!
You’re so pretty!! What is your face routine?! What do you use!! Your face is so clear 😭😭
Nancy Solis Thank you!! It definitely isn’t clear, but I’ve come a long way!! I use CeraVe face products!!
Aleysia K. Smith I use CeraVe face wash and the face cream but my face cream is not close to clear 😭😭😭 do you use anything else ?(:
Aleysia K. Smith I also am scheduled to take my exam in a couple weeks and I am very nervous
I’m so glad I found you♥️😭 I start my first day tomorrow as a CNA morning shift in a rehabilitation center/nursing home; was looking for some pointers; this was very helpful TY😘😘!! & my goal is to work in a big hospital too. Any tips and or guidelines for #newbiesCNA #CHI
You are so welcome!!
I’m in the process of becoming a CNA now. Here in Alabama it’s a 10 day process to go through the class and then I’ll begin training right away. I start clinicals in 3 days. I love it so far. I am nervous because it’s a lot to take in and I’m nervous to take care of them on my own. Your videos gave me so much comfort and gave me a good idea of what it’s going to be like! I’ll be working 2nd shift, 3-11. I’ll start training in day shift. Wish me luck! We have 120 days after we finish classes to take the test and become certified!
Congrats love!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the videos, it means so much to me! You’re going to be a great CNA! It’s normal to be nervous at first! Always ask questions and be open to learn and you’ll do amazing! Best of luck to you on your CNA journey!!!
Nice Vlog!😀 Do you mind sharing how you got in a hospital? I keep trying,I'm in good standing at all my previous jobs,but It's still hard.Ugh!😫What's your advice?
Truth Rhames This is such a good question! I had the hardest time getting into a hospital in my area as well. My CNA program actually helped me get a job at my hospital, which I’m super thankful for. My advice would be to keep applying and keep calling if you have too. CNA’s right now are needed just about everywhere! Best of luck to you!!💗
@@AleysiaKSmith Thank You😘💖
I start this soon enough but where I’m going to work I don’t have to have the certification it’s preferred not required! My two weeks notice isn’t up yet so I can’t start yet but soon I can! I call for my orientation so I can start
You got this!🤍
Good luck to you when you start
I’m a cna & would love to work in a hospital tell me how did you get in ? They usually only hire pct
Check out my CNA q&a video, I answered all about how I got my hospital position and shared how you can too! Best of luck to you!
I wk as a NA. My goal is to go back to school to get my BSN as an RN
You got this love!🤍
Dang this video helped ease my mind because I’m finally applying for pct jobs
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
fun fact that second exit you took my suit case fell out my car and the boston police stopped me to tell me in the middle of the night 😂😂 so bad omg
omg!! I hope you made it home safe!
You only get 4 patients during day shift? nice, stay safe!
No not at all usually I get 6-8, but this day in particular I was on a heavier unit so the floor was staffed very well. Stay safe yourself!
I love your videos... good job sis. God bless you
Thank you so much! I appreciate you!💗
Wow that’s such a fancy hospital! The hospital in my city is a sh*thole. I’m a new cna at ltc and it’s so overwhelming. Looking for tips bc I feel like I’m drowning every shift lol. I have usually 8-9 patients and most of them are total care 😩.
It might be fancy but we still have our pros and cons! It definitely isn’t always lavish! I wish you the best of luck! We got this!💋
I'm doing a CNA class but the state test is on hold due to COVID-19! Do you think I'll have to wait until it's not on hold to get a job?
That’s awesome! I think you can most certainly start applying for jobs, however many facilities might not let you start until your a licensed CNA! It’s still worth a shot to try though! Best of luck to you!💗
I’m from Texas and I’m also going to take the CNA class and my instructor said here hospitals will be hiring still but of course after we have to take the exam.
Do you get any day off when you work mon to fri 8 hours shift ( no weekends)..you’re pretty btw🥺
I don’t work full-time! I work per-diem! It all depends on your facility!
Does your hospital offer tuition assistance for your nursing degree?
They do yes for RN-BSN!
I just came across your videos two nights ago & let me tell you your videos make me so excited to become a CNA when I turn 16. Are you still a CNA now?
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I'm still a CNA while in my last year of nursing school!
@@AleysiaKSmith Wow that's cool. What are you going to do after you're done with nursing school? And Merry Christmas.
@@aryanaalinnear Merry Christmas to you as well! I graduate spring 2022!
@@AleysiaKSmith Wow, you have one more year, no matter how hard it gets in nursing school, always accomplish your goals. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
@@AleysiaKSmith For day shift, what are your round hours?
Do you prefer night shift or day shift ?
i work the day shift, and let me tell you it can be pretty hectic between the showers, breakfast/lunch tray pass, getting up for therapy/appointments etc it can be a handful and draining, night shift is more relaxing from what my co workers have mentioned to me.
I have a love/hate relationship with both shifts. Day shift can be super hectic, however you get out early and still get to go on and enjoy your day. Night shift is more relaxing yes, but your whole sleeping schedule gets messed up so it can be hard to get used to, plus can be a toll on your body. I like doing both to be honest!
I'm a CNA in a nursing home I love it
Happy for you!
Great video! what is the name of your intro song?
Its a free beat from th-cam.com/video/-WvXm5DjWJU/w-d-xo.html!
Hi beautiful where did u get your bag?
Victoria Secret!
Do you have any day shift CNA advice working in a hospital?
I actually have a video called CNA Q&A where I give all the tea and advice for working day shift and night shift! You should definitely check it out! Best of luck to you!💖
@@AleysiaKSmith thank you! You have a nice day ! 🥰
Holycrap! Where do you work?? The Hospital I work at is soooooo...out dated. Lol a couch in there?? Damn
I work at a hospital MA!! It's newly renovated that's why it's so fancy! Not all hospitals are like this at all!
@@AleysiaKSmith very true!! Lol
@@AleysiaKSmith I'm in MA also, where is this hospital, maybe I can apply there too?
@@enjoyeverysecondofit9582 Apply to Partners Healthcare!!
I know u know ur extremely beautiful woman,, I appreciate ur dedication to the health feild , but sis,, u could EASILY BECOME A SUPERMODEL! OMG, b blessed queen !
Thank you so much! Xoxo
Is it possible to become a CNA as a high schooler, if so do you have any tips
Isaac Kim yes it is possible! I would suggest to look into CNA programs in your area, or even connect with your high school to see if they have any connections with CNA programs. Best of luck to you!!
Aleysia K. Smith ok perfect! Thank you so much!
My high school offered the course through a local community college my senior year of high school. That’s when I became a CNA and the at was in 2013.
@@_KeepTheFaithh love this!! Yes it’s definitely possible!
hi can you give me some tips on how to become a CNA?
I would start by researching for any CNA programs in your area and apply!! Best of luck to you!
I'm wanting to be a PTA, and a CNA certificate was suggested to me at my university because it fulfills the prereqs to get in to PTA but gives me another employment avenue. PTA is two years, their CNA certificate is one year if you don't have like transfer credits. There is a clinical module in the second semester.
Omg she said four patients I literally have 15 to 20 patients everyday lol 😭
It all depends on how acute and well staffed your facility is love!! Best of luck to you!
@@AleysiaKSmith yes you are absolutely right and same to you love your videos❤️
Do CNA’s wear stethoscopes?
I always bring mine to work, but I don’t wear mine around! Maybe at other hospitals they might!
I really love that you add good information at the end. Very helpful ❤️
Thank you, I appreciate it! I'm glad you enjoyed! xoxo
