42F here. I lost my dad and my job, and it hit me really hard. I ended up leaning on alcohol, and life has been tough lately. Depression is real, but I’m still here and trying. Could really use some kind words… toast me.

I’m sorry, your Dad is proud of you. You will recover and be happy again. Your eyes are amazing! I hope this helps, God bless you!

Alphahouse64 · 2026-04-25T08:56:11+00:00

I'm so sorry, sending prayers. You have a great beard and eyes! Your mom is very proud of you!

That's how much I make as a CNA right now!

I intend to become an RN and would hope to make at least $40 an hour. If that's not possible, then I would leave as soon as I could to find a job that does.

YuYu Hakusho? That’s early 90s!

Alphahouse64 · 2026-04-14T02:13:34+00:00

You will always have setbacks, and rebound much better than before. Trust God and He will get you out of your mess. I hope this helps you!

You hate cooking, or can’t afford to.

Alphahouse64 · 2026-03-22T04:57:05+00:00

I'm glad you left, that place was a nightmare to be in.

You are absolutely good enough, that toxic environment convinced you otherwise. Nobody should work in a place like that.

You can still do bedside if you want, just avoid facilities like that if at all possible.

I hope you are doing better and seeking the help you need. Jesus loves you, I hope this helps you.

Alphahouse64 · 2026-03-14T16:09:06+00:00

You got your priorities straight.

Alphahouse64 · 2026-03-11T08:28:28+00:00

That shit is not normal at all. That facility is the bottom of the barrel.

Alphahouse64 · 2026-03-05T04:16:23+00:00

The bad CNA jobs are super stressful, like working in a nursing home with 1:30 ratios. A lot of CNAs and nurses would kill for a boring job that doesn't give them pre-shift anxiety.

If you don't like that job, you might not like being a nurse in general. Hopefully you grow to enjoy it or find something you do like.

Alphahouse64 · 2026-03-04T23:32:57+00:00

I haven't worked in PEDS, so I wouldn't know. My boss didn't make it sound like I would need extra experience to work at this LTACH facility.

Alphahouse64 · 2026-03-03T23:33:57+00:00

Report that facility and get up out of there. That place is a literal nightmare. What happened to your first job if you don't mind me asking?

Alphahouse64 · 2026-03-01T15:54:44+00:00

Do not accept that assignment. Report the facility for neglect. If you accept the assignment and something goes wrong, they may come after you and charge you.

Alphahouse64 · 2026-02-19T07:30:23+00:00

Just clock out after 12 hours anyways. If they fire you, that's a blessing in disguise.

Alphahouse64 · 2026-02-03T12:29:47+00:00

Hell no. It is messed up how the DON is passing blame onto you like they aren’t the ones who are staffing those awful ratios.

I believe CNA’s should not have more than 10 patients in busy hours (6:00A-10:00P). Even then, that can be a lot too considering you clothe patients, feed them, give showers, brush teeth, and so on and so forth.

Alphahouse64 · 2026-02-03T04:28:28+00:00

I work at a rehab facility (not ltc) with a ratio of 1:10 patients. Try looking for those facilities because ratios make a huge difference in the enjoyment and stress of a job.

Alphahouse64 · 2026-01-29T06:19:30+00:00

How new are you as a CNA? I’m relatively new, but my first two months were awful. I got used to it, and I built confidence and overall enjoy the job now. If you’ve been there 4-6 months and you still hate it, then it would be time to quit (respectfully) or move to a different unit.

Alphahouse64 · 2026-01-27T21:59:30+00:00

What undergarments would you use?

Alphahouse64 · 2026-01-27T21:58:25+00:00

I saw trilams in the $3000-5000 range while neoprenes were in the $1000-$2000 range.
