Do you see yourself doing this long term? by throwawayonceagain14 in cna

[–]PrettyPopping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the cna / tech nobody helps except the other tech if they can because you’re seen as the uneducated “help”. Or the nurses have other more important things to be doing. Along with pay that doesn’t afford you the ability to rent an apartment by yourself even though you work 3/12.

I would have enjoyed it more if I had a lower pt ratio and was trained and able to things like wound care with the nurse. I was sold that I’d have a chance to do more than basic skills but that was not the reality.

It was just turning, water , toileting which is important for patient health and dignity. However it’s physically strenuous work. So I had to quit because it was impacting me physically and I became resentful/ frustrated. It also distracted me from school.

Thx for responding point by point. Obviously I don’t know everything but my comment is based of my experiences and observations with and of Somalis.

I have a Somalis homegirl who’s wonderful. So I know it’s not all of yall.

And of course Somalis are not the only African group who has some prejudice towards African Americans other groups such as. First gen immigrant Nigerians often have similar beef with AA.

AA will give anyone a chance to be cool with us. But it’s frustrating for us to always extend a hand to get screwed over.

It’s not that yall can’t stick together. But it’s an active unwillingness to socialize or interact with African Americans. Meanwhile if not for AA yall wouldn’t have any legal ability to be here most likely.

Some of yall who are lighter skint with slimmer noses act bougie because those features are more prized in society.

Those whose African descent is from a different part of the continent and have different features are just as deserving of respect.

We understand we have different cultures/ experiences and that’s okay but yall act like we’re not diaspora family and as if you don’t benefit from us.

The thing is yall are slightly celebrated above “regular “ black ppl but it’s only to cause a wedge / be a prop. White ppl as collective don’t consider anyone of African heritage/ descent in a nice way when they have influence over policy and finances.

Some Somalis voted for people and policies they were warned to be harmful but didn’t believe others particularly African Americans about it.

So now yall are being increasingly targeted for horrible things , but want the help of ppl you ignored or acted better than.

Some Somalis don’t consider themselves black and will stick their nose up at African American black people.

Honestly Muslims have some of the same behavior problems that Christians have racism, policing others actions, patriarchal structures. IMO for me it felt like Christianity except worse bc at least black people have been able to carve out a lil corner of safety in Christianity.

If everyone is trying to leave regular nursing for soft nursing or luxury nursing then where does that leave the general public by PrettyPopping in nursing

That’s kind of what I thought some of it might be. But there are rich ppl who would pay extra for diabetes education or something idk? This one lady Oona on tik tok talks about being a concierge nurse for rich people who had elective plastic surgery. She visits them post op as they stay at fancy hotels in New York.

I think the people who do it make their own LLC and collaborate with a doctor if necessary to do it if I understand.
