It's very different from being at a nursing home and although this video doesn't really allow me to truly show things that go on because of HIPPA but its some insight.

First off I wanna say your gorgeous 😊 also you have motivated me I recently was in LPN school I failed out by one point my second semester ☹️ but I get to go back next semester so I'm about to go to CNA classes & I really wanna get into a hospital so please prayers 🙏 this video was much needed for me 💚💜
Thank you so much love and i wish you the absolute best with both nursing and your CNA program! Never give up! you’ll come out better and stronger on the other side! 💕✨
@@TheTwinDiaries thank you hun 💚
When did you get used to all the work? When i first worked as a CNA i cried in the restroom because i was overwhelmed. No one told me about the 'environment ' or how rounds work.. I learned myself though.
It took me a month working two to three shifts a week before i felt comfortable and was able to get a handle on time management and how to plan my day. Granted some days are just a lot harder than others depending the the patients..
The Twin Diaries thank you for your response!
Transitional Butterfly thanks! I have to haha im going to college in hopes of becoming a RN. So working as a CNA will be great experience.
Yeah I’m training as a pct and taking it a day at a tine. I’m hard on myself when I don’t learn fast but I have to be more patient with myself
Deep Bleu no go for it. Idk if you have kaiser where u live but they start off at 21 an hour
Thanks for sharing your experience! I've been thinking about taking a CNA course but the fear of failing is holding me back... I was always in smaller classes for focusing issues. Helping people is something I would love to do for the rest of my life.
I enjoyed this video... thanks for making this video. Now I’m considering becoming a tech for my patient care hours.
I’m so glad you like it! You definitely should. You learn so much and gives you a lot of insight on patient care and what being a nurse is truly like.
Creative video. I’m a newly licensed CNA in North Carolina in the process of applying to a hospital. I thought of doing home care but everyone is telling hospitals are better
I did home care as a CNA and i prefer the hospital but home care is harder and easier at the same time. It’s harder because your by yourself so if a pt is heavy it’s hard on your body but since it’s one patient it’s less demanding
Agency is better even with pay but if you want a steady job one place yes hospital but over work
Awesome video! Thanks for filming this. It's always nice to see another techs' experience! Keep the videos coming!
Aw I’m glad you liked it! Will do!
I remember these days ✊🏾 peace and blessings my sister 🌺
It makes me feeling comfortable watching these videos because I want to be a C.N.A/ P.C.N.A in a private care facility like a hospital 🏥
that hospital is so pretty and also im gonna become a cna when i turn 16 i cant wait i know its gonna be really hard and i know how messy it can get but im still excited
I work on a Med-surg floor too. We have 13 patients (adolescents). We have to “real time chart” It can get so busy when children at this age too! Thanks for the video,
That has got to be hard because some days when it’s so busy I literally have NO time to chart til the very end of the shift!
Love you video!!! I’m a RN in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and here in TX a CNA. I’m planning to get NCLEX next year. I’m about to start a position as a PCT very soon. Where did you get you bracelet I loved!!!
Awww i wish you the best of luck! I’m sure you’re gonna do amazing! ✨ And i got the bracelet from James Avery, thank you! 💕
The Twin Diaries Thanks 😀😀
I get to learn new stuff watching this video especially the term Nurse technician since here in our country, they are the ones assigned with machines in hemodialysis unit.
Oh wow, i didn’t think about what it might be like in other countries. So cool!
Thank you so much for your informative videos, they're so helpful! thank you!
I’m a tech on a med/surg unit, as well. Primarily infectious disease pt’s. Loved the vid. Can definitely relate
Yay I’m glad you liked it! And i bet you see a lot as well!
Really enjoyed this video! It helped me! I’m ready to do cna
1,000th subscriber 💓 keep up the good content ladies
Aww thanks so much for the sub 💕
Aww, wow I miss these days 😭 MED/SURG and ICU were my favs. Now I'm the boring nurse LAME. lol
I’m actually not a fan of med surg at all 😂 but I’d love to be in the ICU or NICU!
The Twin Diaries WELL SNEAK IN THERE WOMAN! 😂 Use your student nurse privilege! 😂😂😂
Lol no I’ve been in the ICU i mean that’s what i want to do as a nurse. I wouldn’t miss Med Surg one bit. Lol.
Busy girl.im falling. Are you being well taken care of. Hope so, my hero. Take care, be safe. Rest well.
Your sooo pretty !! I’m becoming a CNA and after I’m going to be a car mechanic .
Aww thank you so much! and you got this girl that’s amazing! I wish you the best of luck!! 💝
Thank you kindly for sharing! ♥️🌹♥️
If course 💖
Just found u. Subscribed binge watching. Good content
Yaaay! Thanks for the love! 💕
I'm about to start my training program for cna to get into nursing school. We have to do 250-300 hours of patient care so I'm getting all the info I can early!
Yeah girl! Get all the hours you can in, if definitely helps so much with clinicals and confidence!
Have an interview for a med surg unit night shift but I'm scared cause that floor is intimidating 😭😭
if she was my nurse i wouldn't know how to act, she's gorgeous
Awww thank you so much! 💖💖😩
I really enjoyed watching your video. Im curious to know does PCT have to change diapers and wipe patients butts the samething that CNA does?
What are the different options as for example besides the option that you have I know that there’s the floor for labor and delivery and the ER but what are the other options that I can choose that is not that busy or maybe switching overnight
Soooooo Thankful I Ran Into This 🙌🏼 I’ll Be PRN At HCA & I’m Like 😬 Ehhhh Lol But This Gave Me Ease
Rayvn Williams hey!! Do you still work at HCA hospitals currently?
May I ask, do you make more at the hospital than a nursing home? I just interviewed today for a CNA position at a hospital but haven’t gotten to pay talk yet! Thanks!
Yeah usually they send a offer with what their willing to pay you. But, I think it depends what hospital and area you’re working in’s Rural areas pay more and also for example the med center in Houston pays more than the suburb areas which is where I’m working. Cause i know a lot of nurse techs getting paid more than me but they’re at a hospital in the med center. Also nursing homes do offer more money as well because people are less inclined to work there so it makes people want to work there given the pay. A lot of CNAs took a pay cut to come work at my hospital from the nursing home.
The Twin Diaries thank you!
I understand especially if rn not hands on
What’s the difference between nurse tech and CNA? I’m currently studying to become a CNA in Australia but here they call it AIN (assistant in nursing )
Nurse Tech usually has extra training to be able to do more in the hospital but it’s the same thing as a CNA. Nurse techs just help perform other skills to assist the nurses like drawing labs, checking blood sugars, transporting pts, taking out IVs etc.
The Twin Diaries thank you for your reply I think I may do phlebotomy as a extra as that seems to basically be part of what a nurse tech does which is what I’m interested in doing
The Twin Diaries love your videos, I can’t wait to start my CNA class by feb 11. Question please, CNA and PCT do they have different certifications? Because like I learned from the school I enrolled in , that PCT has gat more nursing practice than CNA which is just like basic . I was made to understand that some PCT classes are not done in CNA , is this correct? Please I need to know before paying to study either of them of them or paying for them differently as its has it’s different price to study each of them. I don’t know if I’m making sense but the question is can I get the same value of pct class from a CNA class? Thanks 🙏
can you afford to live on your own with your income
I don’t work full time but the ones that do afford to live on their own. I work with a lot of women and men that are older than me and they have kids and live on their own.
How do you nail a job and represent yourself well in an interview in order for them to consider you a great candidate? What’s the best way going about getting a job in a hospital as a new CNA moving to another state.
Just put up a new video about how to get a job in the hospital! 💕
The Twin Diaries thank you so much!!! Trying to nail one before moving to the next state.
How much do you get paid if you don’t mind me asking?
Red Author well I just got hired I’ll tell u
oh HCA.. where is your location?
Thank you for sharing. I am a CNA. I have been working in assisted senior living. I would like to apply to a hospital job like Med-Surg Unit but I don’t know if the job is required a lot of lifting people?
You do life people a little but def not as much as in a nursing home or assisted living. They’re acute care so most of the time they don’t really get out of bed but to go to the bathroom. Therapy will get them up when they walk them in the halls and such.
Lift *
Thank you.
Hey there. I know this was a while ago. But did you have to shadow before getting hired? And how many interviews did you have?
No I didn’t shadow and I shadow and I had one interview!
While in nursing school what hours do you plan on working?
I have no clue yet. I’m hoping i can at least work like one or two shifts a week. I’ll know more when my next orientation comes.
Hi there, I noticed HCA.. did you do the Star Tech Program within HCA? Do you know about the Star Tech?
No, I didn’t do the star tech. They started that after I left.
Twin Diaries, How long did it take for you to get into a hospital after becoming a CNA?
I’ve just become a Phlebotomist been in a Nursing Home & CNA for 2yrs. I’ve out grown the Rehab environment ,there’s nothing more to learn or no growth unless a new Nurse comes in & wiling to answer my questions.
Of course attending school, there’s always room for growth. Appreciative of what I’ve learned as a CNA, however my job is seemingly repetitive & I don’t feel I’m growing in Healthcare w/in the Rehab facility.
Literally as soon as i got my license a couple weeks later I got a interview and offered the job. You have experience so I would just apply apply apply.. don’t wait or think you won’t get it.
To All of our Vet CNAs More of God Strength and power to you Humble Servant's of our Lord God. keep on indureing through the pain long suffering and stress our work does not go unnoticed with him Amen.
Keep on going and stay Humble Servant's.
What do you do as a CNA at the hospital? What are some duties?
Checking blood sugars, checking vitals, ambulating patients, helping bathe and toilet patients, helping feed patients, transfer patients, etc.
The Twin Diaries I’m in school for CNA (almost done with the second week out of six) and got an answer wrong on one of my tests because I thought we were able to do blood sugars... apparently we’re not supposed to do that because it involves a needle and it’s a “procedure” is what my instructor says.. and to tell any nurse who asks us that “it’s outside of my scope of practice”.. so do I do them or do I not lol..
Im taking courses now for CNA, after that I'm taking courses for PCT. Which course do you prefer for PCT; the dialysis or EKG?
Unless you plan on working specifically in dialysis then EKG is the best option.
Great video. But I'm so surpise they allow you to wear that braclet I'm a PCT and we are not allow to wear jewelry except a. Stut earring , a wedding ring and of course a watch.
Yeah, honestly that’s the only jewelry i should have on. But sometimes I would just leave it on and not take it off until I’m about to do something i don’t want my jewelry going into lol
@@TheTwinDiaries beautiful braclet. Understandable.😀
Why does your job look so chilled ? Do y’all change diapers ? Or what ? Cause I might need to go to a hospital
Hahaha I don’t work there anymore I’m a nurse now but when i was a tech there we did vitals, changed diapers, turn and position, draw labs, etc. lol. I think this day was a weekend so weekends are a lot chiller because less people are there.
Your hospital has iPhones 😂wtf
Lol yes. I used to think it was cool but by the second month of working there I just wanted to throw it lmao
thank you for the video
❤️
I didn’t know techs can work 12hr shifts. What state is this please?
Texas!
The Twin Diaries ok thanks. I’m a RN in NYC and we work 12s but our techs works 8s.
Monica P + North Carolina here are 12 HR shifts, 3 days on 4 off. It's brutal, but I'm being prepared for nursing school. Good video, tough but it's worth it.
v t good luck to you in nursing school.
Monica P Yes we can!!! Whoop whoop!!!
Are you hired directly in the hospital or was it through an agency.I have being working has a C.N.A now four five years in a Nursing home. It is about time for me to work in the hospital.
I was directly hired by the hospital.
@@TheTwinDiaries what is the name of the hospital, so I can apply too.
Very informative ty❤ what's the starting pay in your area for NTs
I think starting pay is 10-12$
Wow new york pays way more for NT's starting pay is $17-18/hr. But the cost if living is much higher that's why
Yep thats exactly why. Texas has BIG places for pretty "cheap" compared to other states.
How did you get your position as a nurse tech? Were you certified?
Yes i completed a CNA program, took the state test, and then applied to the hospital.
@@TheTwinDiaries ok. Thank you bcz I'm trying to move in that direction. I recently finished my first semester of nursing school at HCC. I wasn't sure if i should try and get certification or just apply with having the first semester completed. I already work in the Medical Center, it's hard trying to transfer without actually being certified.
Do you get drug tested?
Do you need experience to become a CNA?
You need to get your license unless you work as a HHA or Personal Care Attendant. At least here in TX it’s different in all states.
I don’t mess with morning shift 🤣 it’s a killer.
FACTS! lol
Hi there...I'm new to ur Channel and also I just recently passed my CNA class on June 14 and I'm now applying to a few places. I'm new to this career all together from being an Executive Assistant and Office Manager. I decided to do this so that I could help take care of my mom. I wanted to ask u about working in a hospital. I had an interview about a week or so ago and they didn't really have a position at that time but the Nurse Manager said that he may have me do PRN as a PCT and o wanted to ask u about how much more ur are to learn? I was thinking that it'd be better to work in a hospital because ur exposed to much more than in a nursing home? How do u go about remembering ur first few rounds so that u can chart? Do u make note of it for when u can? Thanks so much in advance and this video may have been made a while back but it's new to me. 😉
awww yay! I would def write down everything when your first start so you don’t miss anything when charting, as you get more comfortable you begin to remember things and only have to write certain things down. If i was you after each round I would sit down and chart. So you’re not trying to play catch up at the end
The Twin Diaries Thank u VM for that. I'm going to definitely do that so that I don't forget something important and I'll be taking as many notes as I can. I am praying that I can catch on quick. I think at first it may be a PRN position which I guess is a good thing and a foot in the door. Thanks again and have a good evening! 😉
Team Lefty
Are you a cna today?
No I’m a nurse now, LVN
a cna is not same as a patient care tech pct takes 9 mnths yraining a cna takes about 2-3 weeks theres a lot lot more involved as a pct
In Texas that’s not the case. But, I do understand that’s the case in other states. In Texas in order to be a PCA, PCT, Nurse Tech you have to be a CNA and then they expand on your knowledge when they hire you. But as a CNA in Texas i believe the shortest program is 4 or 5 weeks and it’s all day M-F because you need a certain amount of hours to even sit for the test.
Depends where you live. In FL many PCT programs are only 3 months. Some are 6
You're allowed to wear jewelry at work? For us if we have anything below the elbow we get sent home lol
Yes we can wear jewelry! But if there is a chance of us getting something on it while taking care of patients we take it off.
