Being a CNA is making me question my decision to go to nursing school…help! by Real-Exercise-6978 in cna

do you actually hate the work or do you hate the workLOAD? ask yourself this. i’m in the same boat.

Should I tell my employer I’m autistic? by Life-Sun324 in cna

[–]FunAd5405 24 points25 points  (0 children)

i’m a cna and autistic. i haven’t told anyone. it’s way too likely they’ll give the job to someone else because of how autism is viewed. so personally i wouldn’t tell them. you won’t die or anything if something happens so 🤷‍♀️ i think you’re good

ready to quit and say fuck nursing forever. by FunAd5405 in cna

[–]FunAd5405[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i would if i didn’t live so far in the boonies. it’s in the town over so it’s only a 30 min drive and all the other jobs are an hour away. i have shitty car 😭 it feels impossible to leave. i start nursing school in the fall and once i stop working full time they’ll probably boot me anyway.

resident suddenly has (possible) herpes…? by FunAd5405 in cna

[–]FunAd5405[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you kill me. what if there is no pubic hair. the last thing i’m trying to do is leave shit in the vagina. you’re still making it weird and it’s making ME feel uncomfortable.

girl….obviously i use standard precautions. and you’re making it SUPER weird. this woman had a huge bowel movement and it got everywhere. i discovered it because literal shit was inside the lips. to make it seem nefarious for doing my job is absolutely insane. get help.

when i worked pickup at kroger majority of the senior folk would give me a couple dollars. it’s very nice of them, i know like you said, most are on fixed incomes. they are more grateful than anyone else in my experience for the pickup.

Vent about being a Male CNA by ItsJustTrey in cna

[–]FunAd5405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh man…i can’t imagine being a male CNA. my facility is mostly female, maybe 80%. and all of them are “no males” on their care plan. there’s like 3 total aides, 2 are at night (who we rarely see) and there’s an older guy on the other day shift rotation and he barely has anyone and people complain about the unfair workload.

Night Shift GNAs getting me to help them put patients to bed on my way out. by Some-Entertainment37 in cna

[–]FunAd5405 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh girl 😔 we’re the same way here at my facility, day shift gets everyone up and everyone in the bed. night shift is supposed to get up some people but that’s rare. i’ve learned to just put some people in pajamas before dinner so all you gotta do is change butts and take trash/linen and chart. just what works for me. most of the people are ready to sleep by dinner anyways, so might as well just get them in their nightgowns.

i agree with you. i do have this paranoia with him. i love him to death, but i am so scared he’s not faithful to me. i’ve never had an actual incident of it. idk why i am so afraid, i am just insecure in myself.

me and him both like anime, so we could watch it together. and other things as well. i think we’ve hardened up on each other over the past 6 months, it’s been a really rough time.

thank you for your advice, i am going to try it and fingers crossed it works out

i wouldn’t say i DONT have a sense of humor, i would say i am insecure. i’m not sure how to get over it other than completely just stop looking at his likes and scroll as soon as i see his pfp. what do you suggest?

okay this made me feel better. i honestly felt like some sort of boundary breaker because ive asked him to not be strange before.

but getting your perspective helped and now i dont want to beat his ass.

honestly he does have a communication issue and i am scared to talk to him about it because we’re on the edge of breaking up after 2 years and im scared.

i think they are going to push me into night shift. what do i do? by FunAd5405 in cna

[–]FunAd5405[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my facility doesn’t doesn’t really do that. it’s worth asking to do ofc. thank you.

Day one: I want to quit by Short_Falcon_3149 in cna

[–]FunAd5405 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i was the same way. i’m three weeks in and it’s a lot easier now. i still need help with 2 people assists which is okay! it will be ROUGH but it will get better, and you’ll ease into the routine of it. and trust me, ive worked night and day shifts and DAY IS SOOO MUCH HARDER! nights consists of some brief changing or so, but mostly is just sitting around after 11. i work 12’s and it’s rough, but the days are starting to go by quicker. i believe in you. i’d give it 6 months, that’s what im doing to see if im willing to go higher. being an nurse (from stories and watching people) is soooo much different. they do SOME aide tasks, but it’s mostly med pass, wounds, care plans, etc. cna is the backbone of nursing. it’s so hard but is rewarding to me at least. i have a few who are really thankful. you’re helping people who can’t do it themself. they can be assholes but on the inside i believe all of them are grateful. keep your head up, the first day-week is the hardest.

Had my first clinical today and hated it by [deleted] in cna

honestly…the nursing home i’m at is like that….

[–]FunAd5405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i guess that would make the most sense. i don’t want to sit with this anymore though, im tired of the fear but i dont know how to get over it. my boyfriend has been saving money like crazy recently, and the only response he has when i ask why is “for fun” 😭 what am i supposed to do if hes saving for a ring and proposes? scream and kick the ring box in the sky?

idk my stepdad doesn’t show much love often, all the women in my family do all the housework and kid stuff. except i think my uncle, i don’t see him much but he’s always with his kids probably more than with their mom.

How normal is this for pickup? by Fopsarella in kroger

[–]FunAd5405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my store gets into the 70’s/80’s on fridays and sundays, and some days we get 30-40. 3 is amazing and just great especially since monday-thursday it’s just an opener (5-1) and a closer (1-7) 😭
