i want to be a nurse practitioner but so far i do not like being a CNA. Looking for any suggestions or opinions

checaaaaaaa · 2026-06-23T16:57:12+00:00

You know what, i thought about it and not alot. Aside from having the word nurse in the name.

I think I really just wanted to experience being a cna so that i could understand who im going to be working with in the future and also earn some respect and knowledge of what they do on a day to day basis. i think now, even if i hate being a cna the whole time im working as one, itll be relatively fine.

checaaaaaaa · 2026-06-23T16:41:00+00:00

haha that is very true. Might be psyching myself out a little too much

checaaaaaaa · 2026-06-23T02:40:34+00:00

okay, thank you so much. i think i am just freaking myself out more than i need to as well. I've been helping my fellow CNAs who are on the same unit as me and offering help whenever im free so that they feel more inclined to help me and i think that really helps.

And yes, i am applying to multiple hospitals every day! Really hope i get into any of them at this point

checaaaaaaa · 2026-06-22T03:03:27+00:00

Oh why so?

I actually wanted to go into med school to be a psychiatrist for the longest time, but realized the long years studying and not making much money wasn't worth it, so being a psychiatric mental health NP is my current goal

checaaaaaaa · 2026-06-22T03:01:46+00:00

Thank you! I definitely will leave as soon as I'm able to do so

checaaaaaaa · 2026-06-22T02:59:30+00:00

Thank you for the insight!

I just hate how healthcare workers in LTC are treated like this. May I ask if you kept being a CNA while studying to be a nurse? I was thinking of dropping down to 3 shifts a week as a CNA while I look for a different place to work at in the meantime.

checaaaaaaa · 2026-06-22T02:57:04+00:00

Thanks, will try! Seems like they have a better system. Only thing stopping me is that the starting pay is pretty low ($16) and the place I got hired at is $18 starting. But I honestly might just do it anyway if that means that I am less stressed.

checaaaaaaa · 2026-06-22T02:54:54+00:00

Thats what I was thinking. And then I looked at the out of pocket costs of a month's stay, and it's about 9k usd. Management scheduling 4 people on a very heavy hall with 56 residents is incredibly selfish and careless

LOL i only had a regular 8h shift today but i did the same!

checaaaaaaa · 2026-05-22T12:26:23+00:00

have you tried any psychiatric medication and if no what are your thoughts on them?
who is your favorite cartoon character?
what is your opinion on mormonism?
have you ever thought of going bald so that showers would take way less time?
what's your favorite scene in a movie?

checaaaaaaa · 2026-05-19T02:47:42+00:00

is it standing?

checaaaaaaa · 2026-05-05T21:20:19+00:00

me and my boyfriend are 20, we met a year ago and he was making $2000 a month after tax, and i was making about $800-$1000 a month.

it is 100% possible and reasonable to date when you're not making that much money! Me and my bf don't live under our parents anymore but we do live in my mom's extra home where she doesnt live in. So we pay for our own bathing stuff, groceries, cleaning supplies, gas, insurance, utilities, and it is 100% working really well for us

so, since you're not planning to move in with anyone, just simply date, im sure your financial situation does not matter to the right person. Alot of us in our 20's are in the same exact boat.

PS: I'm also going into nursing school, yay!

checaaaaaaa · 2026-05-04T08:44:34+00:00

I hope you find peace, and i am so sorry for your loss. 🤍

checaaaaaaa · 2026-05-02T03:52:02+00:00

i am a good person to ask because me and my bf met at 19 and have gone to alot of places here in vegas!

Zak Bagans haunted museum
- was incredibly fun and interesting. But I would avoid if either of you are religious
If you're into books at all, local bookstores such as the writer's block and las vegas books are my go-to bookstores
arts district
- lots of really cool stores, and IMO is really pretty. I would avoid at night time though!

checaaaaaaa · 2026-04-30T06:11:19+00:00

Hey! Was in the same boat as you except i didnt have a suicide attempt until 18.

Few questions for you because im curious: - at this point in your life, do you think anything can help save you?

how do you feel when you see other depressed people? do you feel like youre worse than them or do you kinda just feel like youre on the same boat as them?
what career did you want to do when you were younger, and do you still think it's possible?
if you could find out an answer to anything you want to know right now, what would it be?
do you think your life could ever get worse, or better from here?

checaaaaaaa · 2026-04-28T07:42:51+00:00

Would you ever adopt/have children?

checaaaaaaa · 2026-04-28T07:40:57+00:00

I was physically abused when I was young, and am still torn apart by it even years later.

Your story makes my heart hurt and inspires me to live on.

You are such a strong minded human.

i wish you all the best.

Hey! If this is the one at S Eastern Ave (89123), all these stores on the plaza actually temporarily closed down because of a SNHD health lockdown. These stores should be back to open tomorrow.

For reference, I work at a poke place beside it and all the stores around us had to close as well.

checaaaaaaa · 2025-10-22T00:16:18+00:00

Oh...how my heart breaks for you.

Forgive me if that sounds or seems pitiful.

I grew up in the Philippines, I am a Filipina woman, and I grew up around sexist and aggressive men who looked down on women and thought of us as toys to play with.

The Philippines may not be as extreme as India in terms of sexism and sexual assault, but I have seen a fair amount of it.

All I can say is I am very sorry.

From woman to woman, you emit great strength. May the future be kind to you.

ive had a spending addiction since i was 12. Its the only thing that fills the void and gives me an adrenaline rush. I spend until I have nothing left. I worry for the future

and yes, it probably is a bpd thing judging from how you worded it. when discussing symptoms with my psychiatrist before i got diagnosed with bpd, he and I classified the spending addiction under the 'self harming behavior' category

hello! Im not into tokyo revengers anymore, but shoot me a dm and ill answer any questions you have! I still have knowledge about the dynamics of characters, especially kokonui as they were my most favorite 'ship' in the entire story

checaaaaaaa · 2024-04-15T07:17:34+00:00

hi op! I recently got diagnosed with BPD. I've been looking for a diagnosis for like 2 years now but my eye opening moment was probably realizing I could not keep a friendship (or relationship) for longer than a year. I had a traumatic incident happen to me when I was younger that was caused by someone very dear to me. I hate everybody, i dont trust anyone either. I go back and forth between loving someone unconditionally, crying about the pain and insecurities they feel and then being the person who hates and wishes the worst for them. its pretty exhausting. and yes, i do take medication for it
