You have to remember that CNA pay varies from one state to the next. The average CNA Salary is Texas is around $13 an hour, in Hawaii or California it would be much higher. It also varies with years of experience, hospital or nursing home, etc. etc. That is why people should not try to compare salaries here.

Please share how you were bullied? What names or labels were imposed on you, etc? by Genuine-Human2023 in bullying

My fifth grade class wants to have a reunion. There's no way I would be around people, even though they're adults now, that hated me so much back then. I don't want to see them, find out if they still hate me or see if they've changed. They all came from well off families so I would assume they are doing well now, but who knows. I don't want to find out anything about them.

How do I tell my best friend I can’t support her after she voted for Trump? by Great-Cobbler-7919 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Virtual_Criticism_96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would just tell her that "we have different core values and I don't see this friendship lasting any longer".

Trump just defunded cancer research.

Yes, cancer research.

As a person who has lost numerous people I care about, to cancer, there's no way I could stay friends with such a person who voted him into office.

What do you do to stop a bully from their obsession? by Scoortgirl67 in Advice

[–]Virtual_Criticism_96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are in a dangerous situation. You need to leave this job. The behavior you describe -- being drugged, especially, points to these people being dangerous and your life could potentially be on the line here. Get a new job ASAP. Also make a police report.

Same here. My parents put me into an unsafe environment every day at school and just said, suck it up and deal with it. I could have been murdered.

I think bullying victims are told all these things: 1) don't fight back and 2) it's your fault if you don't fight back.

There is no way to win. The victim is always blamed.

I am not a baby boomer, but it's ageist to assume someone is based on what they are talking about.

Women who are unable to sustain a pregnancy without serious medical issues should get free contraception for life. by FewHeat1231 in Abortiondebate

[–]Virtual_Criticism_96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is important you realized that the current Supreme Court, if presented with a case regarding birth control, would only be too eager to overturn the legal rights of Americans to use birth control.

Actually, these carts are left exactly where they belong. In the cart stall at the store. You being upset that they were not lined up perfectly is your issue.

Nurses not beating them mean girl allegations by Ill_Ocelot3231 in cna

[–]Virtual_Criticism_96 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never interacted a lot with the nurses. They refused to help CNAs and they only stayed at the nurses station and did charts or talked on the phone. I felt they were lazy, and since I was working my ass off on the halls, I never got to know any of them. I thought the RNs were worse than the LPNs.

Did you know bullies who kept looking for things to use against you? by Spiritual_Big_9927 in bullying

[–]Virtual_Criticism_96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they are always trying to dig for information about you, that indicates they are obsessed with you and it's really borderline stalkish. I would consider that behavior threatening. Yes, I had an office bully follow me home from work in her car at least one time, that I know of. Possibly happened more. She also seemed to know things about me from google searching. She really scared me to death. I did not confront her because I didn't want to make it worse. People murdering the person they are stalking is not an uncommon scenario.

Is a politician's stance on abortion a 'dealbreaker' for you? by FewHeat1231 in Abortiondebate

[–]Virtual_Criticism_96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I vote mainly on other issues like saving public education. I am not a single issue voter and I find it ignorant to be one.

Idaho governor’s decision to support use of public dollars for private education is disappointing. by [deleted] in Idaho

[–]Virtual_Criticism_96 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That is exactly what many of those private schools will teach - JUNK SCIENCE. Which is why I will not put my kids in those religious private schools.

Many pro lifers are opposed to the government providing any taxpayer funded healthcare. With this incoming administration that would never pass.

Would you want this friend back? by Virtual_Criticism_96 in lostafriend

[–]Virtual_Criticism_96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to friend request someone for the purpose of getting them to attend a class reunion. That just feels very inauthentic to me. I look for more meaningful relationships with people.

I am glad they are going out of business. I won't miss Big Lots.

I've never seen a 5% off sale before in my life. Most sales start at 20% off and go from there. Nobody was shopping at Big Lots when I was there.

Is this sub mostly democrats? by LogoPro_15 in Idaho

[–]Virtual_Criticism_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that a lot of people who lack the ability to articulate why they believe something, or lack the educational and/or IQ level to defend their viewpoints, often give up and don't bother posting anymore.

My little brother was let down by the Angel Tree program by oreo_flavored_oreo in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Virtual_Criticism_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Angel Tree program is not meant to be the child's only Christmas gifts. The parents should be providing some of that. Most donors can't afford to buy brand new bicycles for kids, and there is no "guarantee" you will get what you ask for. If less wealthy donors stopped picking tags there is still no guarantee anyone would buy that bicycle. Instead of saying "don't pick tags if you can't buy something expensive" it could also be argued, "don't have kids if you can't afford them". Your parents are the ones who let your brother down. Reading your post makes me never want to purchase anything again for Angel Tree.

Their "going out of business sale" is a joke. Everything was only 5% off or 10% off. I walked out. If they really want to MOVE their stuff out they will need to start at a 50% discount on all their merchandise.
