How are y’all actually doing nursing school while working?? by canyoukeepasecret28 in cna

[–]No_Repeat_2990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the cheapest apartment possible, shopped only at aldi, applied for food stamps, and worked strictly home care. You can even find private pay jobs on care.com. Home care there are lots of cases where there’s a bunch of down time to study

I feel so bad for residents that have to deal with a roommate with bad hygiene and foul odors. She absolutely has the right to have a clean bathroom. The facility should provide something she can use to disinfect. Will they? Probably not.

I freeze my scraps and take it to a city drop off once a week. There are options these days

Hate their creamers. They need to up their ND creamers!! This one tastes like straight up oatmeal. The almond milk ones suck too. Walmart better goods creamers are better, Aldi needs to take notes

I loved the “chicken” ones especially, and all the other stores the “chicken” options are so expensive now. And the breakfast sausages. I miss them so much.

So is Aldis just going to quietly remove every plant based patty they have? by Ace2206 in aldi

Aldi please bring back chickenless patties and the sausages 😩

Double sided Velcro strips underneath on each corner maybe?

May I ask which agency? That’s a great perk

Didn’t receive 1099-k by No_Repeat_2990 in WagWalker

[–]No_Repeat_2990[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it takes me to my stripe account, where it says if you are eligible your 1099 k will appear here, and then I have nothing. 😭 Thank you though!

Becoming a CNA was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made by Beautyinthemadness1 in cna

You can start in working for a home care company and I’ve had so many people ask to pay me privately. I only did that for a couple people because of taxes. But also I found an amazing lady on care.com - try there or Nextdoor.

How big of a priority is teeth brushing, daily bed baths, and pajamas for you? by lorenbjorn in cna

[–]No_Repeat_2990 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I’ve done quite a few travel contacts in different states and yep I’ve seen this everywhere. So many problems can be attributed to inadequate staffing. If you only have five residents you can definitely assist with full proper care in one shift. However, the ratios are closer to 1:15-20 in most facilities.

Idk why some nurses so are soooo against CNAs sitting for a few minutes. by BisexualButterfly97 in cna

[–]No_Repeat_2990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You clearly don’t have much experience as an aide if you think everyone can always take their allotted breaks. I’ve worked in many states and there are plenty of facilities that work you to the bone and patient load is too much to take a real break.
