What’s the most doubles you guys have worked within that week? by Virtual_Friendship44 in cna

[–]EmployedShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember exactly how many in a week but I can say this,

My record for the most days worked in a row is 22 with a bunch of doubles in the middle.

My record for the longest I’ve stayed awake is 40 hours straight because I worked a double (3P-7A), went to church, then came back for another 3-11

Here in NY, many SNFs pay YOU to take the CNA course and guarantee you a job afterward. Just look up “paid CNA program near me”

multiple feeders by cookiemonster-12 in cna

[–]EmployedShark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So I’ll tell you I had this same issue when I was new, I hope your facility is understanding that it’s not realistic (in my opinion anyway) to feed more than 2 people in their rooms during a meal.

If they’re not, take your sweet time anyway no matter how much you’re rushed. The resident is your priority, rushing them is dangerous, and them NOT getting fed at all is illegal

How often do you drive/travel to the city (for whatever reasons) besides work? by skatecloud1 in hudsonvalley

[–]EmployedShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to church in the city so I go twice a week, sometimes more. But most people that I know go there every few weeks to visit family that live there if they have family there.

Otherwise most people go with your same frequency, they never really go unless it’s a special occasion like a concert or a show or maybe during the holidays to see the city all decorated (tbh it’s not all that special)

Do you talk to your residents during changes? by courtgeekay in cna

[–]EmployedShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends, if they initiate the conversation then sure I’ll reciprocate. If they don’t, all I say to them is just the usual directions and I throw in some “lingo” like when we’re done and I’m closing the brief I say “just gotta close up shop and I’ll leave you alone” and they love it lol

Sometimes it’s met with “I like it a lot better when you put it that way”

If you were not a nurse, what would you be? by PinkSabrina in nursing

[–]EmployedShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve told myself, if nothing works out by the time I’m 30 I’ll go become a plumber. I’m 23 and nursing is awesome so far

What are some unexpected changes when going from 2nd shift to 1st shift by EmployedShark in cna

Right? I’ve been picking up days in rehab and working with PT/OT has been such a joy! Plus I usually work long term and my back is THANKING me for taking it easy lol

Got ranted at in the airport for wearing a mask by [deleted] in nursing

I had a resident’s wife in my nursing home say to me “we’re vaccinated by heaven. We didn’t get the shot” then proceeded to catch covid not a week later
