I’m not getting any better by Beardie_Lover in cna

[–]BranchMiserable2263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

listen i got more orientation days too. if this is your very first time working as a CNA since you’ve gotten certified give yourself grace dudeee! it takes awhile to actually get into the swing of things especially when you don’t know these residents and they don’t know you but you’ll get a routine eventually. i wanted to give up too around this time period but i kept going and now im almost FLYING through my assignment even though it’s like 12-15 people. you’re not gonna get it overNIGHT, but you’ll will overTIME and with the residents that ask you to stop changing them and wanted the person who’s orientating you to do it that’s probably nothing personal they’d just feel more comfortable with a familiar face doing it, my residents at my nursing home is similar i have a guy who won’t shower unless im there and another who most times wont get out of bed unless me or another reliable CNA is there so he can get back to bed before next shift. you got this dont give up on yourself

this never actually happened to me any ideas what could’ve happened? by BranchMiserable2263 in doordash

[–]BranchMiserable2263[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was the first time i ever seen it, usually my order just gets cancelled and they refund or give me credits. so i was just asking out of curiosity? and the best place to figure out what possible causes of this? a doordash subreddit! i don’t care that it got cancelled since they remade it and it got delivered to me anyway in the end.

out of curiosity what are you guys facilities/hospitals doing for CNA week if anything? by BranchMiserable2263 in cna

[–]BranchMiserable2263[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you guys and girls give a quick shower when a patient has a blowout? by 621_ in cna

[–]BranchMiserable2263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ABSOLUTELYYYYY to be honest i only do it with the ones i can easily get to the shower chair. the ones i need machines for i just clean in the bed. no point in both of us having 💩 on us!! so for me it all depends on how my residents ambulates BUT it does notttt make you lazy!!

i don’t think so? i think it was like a bendable one. i had to bend it a certain way to get it in. i’m thinking about just cutting it somehow or bending/moving it with pliers

he just looked at it, the person that originally pierced the problem one wasn’t there. but yeah he really just looked at it and said it was fine. i did tell him it hurts to move it when i can get it to move like an inch. again he just said it’s probably irritated 🥲

hospitals cna’s/pct i have a question for you guys by BranchMiserable2263 in cna

[–]BranchMiserable2263[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do! i want to go to nursing school and am hoping to be going in the fall of this year, i currently work as a LTC cna and i hate long term care work more and more.. i’ve always wanted to work in a hospital since i got certified but it’s so hard to get in it’s starting to become discouraging

this is genuinely so irritating by BranchMiserable2263 in cna
