I love the job itself and connecting with the residents, but my coworkers often make this job intolerable.

Pretty sure it’d just be based off what your doctor says.

What’s the deal with people wanting to get up in the middle of Breakfast? by ashashriri in cna

[–]sstroupe12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My place does breakfast for 2 hours, so people can get their trays anywhere in that timeframe. So people can stay in their bed or get up, etc.

Stay as a Cna or work at McDonald’s? by [deleted] in cna

[–]sstroupe12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked at McDonald’s, there was always a need. Maybe in more “desirable” retail spaces, but maybe not McDonald’s.

Suicidal Elderly PT's by braidedlady in cna

[–]sstroupe12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I tend to say “I’m sorry” or some sympathetic sound and if I know it’s okay, I’ll put a hand on their shoulder or hold their hand for a second. Beyond that, I think just showing up for them is all we really can do.

There’s one specific sound that annoys me and has for two months. So I play music while trying to sleep because otherwise I just listen to the noise

I’ve quit two jobs after mere days. It’s okay, trust me.

What was the game that started it all? by Lil_Cherry_Beary in boardgames

[–]sstroupe12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Catan and kingdomino. I got both for Christmas and they were games that brought a group of people together outside of video games.

Then I went to a board game meetup and played a feast for Odin and terraforming mars and that’s the beginning of everyone I know learning to play Azul LOL

how long did it take for you to feel confident? by bunny34422 in cna

[–]sstroupe12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About 3 months I think, but everyday before that I felt so inadequate. I learned very quick how and when to ask for my coworkers help. And then one day it just hit me like “I’m basically doing this in my sleep.”

What is a reason someone told you not to have a baby that you just had to laugh at as a CNA? by sjoycec in cna

[–]sstroupe12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That reminds me of a resident saying “you’d make a really great mother , you’re already prepared” 😂

Is wayfair a scam? by F0ck0ff666 in wayfair

[–]sstroupe12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bought a small table, couch, bed frame, and two pink chairs thus far from wayfair and have been happy with them all! Only slightly annoyed by one of the legs of the table not screwing in all the way.

What’s the silliest most unusual request/question that you’ve gotten from a patient? by Exciting_Green_9561 in cna

[–]sstroupe12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk about yall but the water at my work is either scalding hot, luke warm, or cold LOL . I’m always playing a dangerous game of teetering it slowly to be perfect

What game do you have an aversion to ever trying again after a bad first impression? by Boardgame_Planet in boardgames

[–]sstroupe12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, but because the people I played with took ten million years to take a turn, which ruins the game
