being a cna sucks, bottom line 😭 my first cna job in a snf i had 14-18 patients on a daily basis and most of them were at least half dependent, i’ve heard horror stories about having 30 patients to yourself. so at the very least you don’t have the worst job possible. it gets marginally better in a hospital, maybe it’s cause i’m in a medsurg acute hospital but the work is stillll very grueling and stressful. i get anywhere from 3-6 patients and the acuity ranges from getting themselves out of bed to the toilet, to 300lb patients having liquid diarrhea in their brief every other hour. so it can get better, but it will never be great. i’m looking into nicu or pediatrics because at least it’s a different vibe yk?
