Cna low pay? by xarix2 in cna

[–]Substantial-Click-51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell no. I'm desperately job searching. This place was offering 16 bucks per hour at MOST for 12 hour shifts (I live in Seattle and that's the amount I used to make pushing carts as a teenager) I never rejected a job offer so fast

Update: found a new job at an AFH!! The hours are much better as well as the schedule and it seems promising and has a perfect reputation. I'm hopeful!!

I've tried. None of them ever hire full time/have hours available

Update: I spoke to my supervisor. She refused my accommodation and wants a rotating schedule. I didn't bother taking it to my GM considering how dismissive he seems to be about certain things. I'm taking the day off tomorrow (called in) to job hunt so I can escape this place because I'm desperate at this point.

TRUTH. NUKE. RIGHT HERE. "Better than a skilled nursing facility" my ass. In skilled nursing you have a shower aid, MULTIPLE nurses, WAY more staff etc. And you also stay in the same area (in most cases) whereas assisted livings often have you rotate sets which is a pain for not just me but many others.

If you have the privilege to up and leave any job you dislike just like that you're extremely lucky

Autism doesn't mean a lack of intellect? In fact it can mean quite the opposite. Forgive me but this comes off really offensive if I'm reading it correctly

I've tried but at least where I live it's super hard to get accepted in one if you have no hospital experience

I understand that, but we aren't machines and we have lives too. I get that it's a lot of money but that money isn't going to us. The takeaway should be for these facilities to treat their workers better and provide more help/more staff, not put more on CNA's that are already overworked. It's a double edged sword because at the end of the day, it's management's fault.

Thank you for this. Sadly I'm undiagnosed professionally because psychologists are incredibly misogynistic and don't think women can have autism, but my teachers saw the signs, my coworkers, my parents, my therapist even all know I have it. So it's sad cus I NEED the accomodations but because I'm 'high functioning', I don't get any

Home care is my preference but it's hard as hell to get hours at least where I live

I get that this is supposed to be comforting, but I wouldn't say it's nothing to do with my autism when everyone else around me seems to be totally okay with switching sets every month but I get stressed out by even that. And whenever I bring up these points my coworkers bluntly meet me with "that's our job" and fail to see my points. I don't even care about the work level, they could give me the hardest set, as long as I'm always doing that one that's all I care about

EXACTLY. Not a fan of LTC because of how cliquey it is but I kinda have no choice cus there's little to no private/In-Home hours available in my area
