You spoke facts on this one! There should be a survival guide especially for working in the nursing home.
Exactly where I was going with this video because I never heard of the stuff we be experiencing
Everything about those CNA's that you mentioned are SO TRUE! They with all the b.s .I've experienced it ALL ,including bullying . You have a few good ones who are about their business, , and respects the nurse, tho. You certainly have to be built a certain way for this position, or you will get chewed up and spit out 💯💯
You’re so right about that 🤞🏾🤞🏾
You are amazing lmfao. I’m cracking up lady. I’m starting my LVN. I’m 25 and been a Cna for 8 years and baby listen… IM NOT THE 1 or 2 either. I’m coming same way because y’all knew better.
Yessss you better 💯 you’ll be a great nurse. Congrats for starting school ❤️❤️
Oh my god on the nurse to pt. Ratio 😮 I’m scared of the nursing home. I’m going to the hospital although it’s less money. Just finished LPN school in August.
Ikr!! Definitely do what’s best for you because this is you’re career. This video may help you as well ⬇️.

Thanks for the inside scoop. I needed to hear this, and i think i was the one who left the comment about donuts😂😂, but i totally understand what u mean by not doing that and like waiting a few months to bring donuts (Noted). Can you do a few videos of like day in the life videos of you working at some of the facilities if u can , i understand sometimes u can’t record or just don’t have the time sometimes. But thanks again , i graduate next week and I’ll be working at a LTCF and prn at the hospital i already work at.
Ok boo I got you. And I’m glad you found the video informative. My goal is for everybody to be the best nurse they can in the REAL WORLD. You got this boo Good Luck 🤞🏾
I ❤ your positivity! Keep GOD first!
Thanks love. Always 🙌🏾
I had to CONSTANTLY search for the CNA's when I was working 11p-7a.( always sleeping in the resident's rooms) It was a hot mess! They take advantage of your kindness . I'm so glad that I quit this passed Feb.
Oh wow! That’s crazy girl these CNAs be on some whole other stuff 😅
@@nursebtv Fo sho!
@@nursebtv Resumin to the 3p-11 on Mon , and Bae, baeee, not with it ;brand new attitude!!! 💯💯🤭🤭 Safe travels , tho , mama!!!
I started nursing school because of the cna's i had to work with. I'm a cna transitioning into LPN. I got tired of being the good cna, having to do others work because the other cnas would disappear for hours. And i can't wait to go back for my RN next year
i LOVE this video
Thanks babe ❤️
You preparing us novice nurses for the agency life. I worked medsurge for a year and home health pieds going on a year. I’m about to start traveling but I’m so damn scared. I ain’t been back to a SNF because as an aide I done been through some things and mane I ain’t went back.
But you got better knowledge to deal with that sort of thing now love. Don’t worry, follow your heart. You never know where travel nursing will take you.
As a new grad nurse IM NOT trusting cnas to do my vitals, I bought my own cuff & temp equipment & I do it myself.
I’m not giving a med based off the vitals of any cnas or other nurse honestly, maybe an experienced RN. But in these nursing homes I trust my own & document everything I did !
Yea I do feel you. Where I’m at the medications are passed by a tech as well so they do their own Vs. When I’m passing I do my on VS when I can but CNAs need experienced lol delegation saves time. Definitely use your own judgement with that tho
I hear where you are coming from but you are coming off has CNAs are all bad and Nurses are way better , we all know it’s lazy CNas jus as well has Nurses , This cna vs LPN needs to be done with
I understand wym and I also wish it wasn’t like that. It’s really just the type of thing where you have to do what you have to in leadership. I know some really great cnas and it’s sad the bad ones ruin it for everybody. Please check my new video I hope this helps you or someone you know! New video ⬇️.

What do the nurses at the Nursing homes you have worked do as far as basic patient care if there are no CNA's (Which i have heard from nurses that at times they dont have techs/cnas) or the facility is short staffed?
Have you ever worked as a cna? Do you think it’s better being an LPN then a cna?? I know lpns have a lot more legal responsibilities, but i’ve been a cna for 4 years and i can’t take it anymore😭 i’m currently in LPN school and im just hoping it’s much better….
Yes I was a CNA 2 years prior to getting my license. LPN is wayyy better you have more responsibilities but you do way less hands on work fr
How do you chart on 65 patients....insane
Funny thing is you’ll get used to it. It’s not as much as you think and typically only about 3-10 residents will need “skilled” type charting the others will remains just long term care charting which is minimal
I applied agency but i’m brand new girl I’m gonna ask to be on a floor that has less residents I need training lots of it. I sent them my resume but they playing around. So an agency hired me with the quickness. Idk if this is a good idea but I will speak up and ask for help all through it.
I don’t think you should start with agency that’s not a good idea at all. You’re gonna be thrown to the wolves and honestly you need to be somewhere to learn and grown
How has it been ? I just graduated this March, I already work agency as a cna and they said I could pick up as soon as I take the Nclex. Bt idk lol
How are you doing as an agency nurse ??
@@chiobabe2180 I’m not an agency nurse I work at a skilled nursing facility. I wanna do agency but you gotta learn your skills before being an agency nurse it’s recommended to at least do 6 six months so not yet hun get those skills up!!
@@theempressdesha is it hard ? I haven’t started yet but I’m nervous. How has the transition been for you so far ?
@@chiobabe2180 i’m 2months in I only work part time I wouldn’t recommend full time. Another new nurse such as myself feels like she lives at the nursing home and doesn’t have time for herself. It’s only been 2 months and I’m ok I’m not quite ready to be floating but i’m gonna have to in order to be more skillful. I have a regular floor I’m assigned so it’s been good. Your preceptor can make or break your experience so if you are not learning try a different approach and let the preceptor know how you prefer to learn. I worked with another lpn as my preceptor and only 1 day with an RN but she was old ready to retire and didn’t have much patience so I definitely had a better experience with the LPN. Eventually I had to be on my own but it’s up to you don’t let the company force you to start passing meds alone. Train until you are comfortable to be on your own. Make sure you discuss that at your interview and clarify if they have a time period of when they want nurses to complete training. They told me training was until I felt comfortable. I know places that will let you train until 3 months. I stayed 2 weeks and then got off training by my 4th week I started picking up hours. The money 💰 is okay. They will try to low ball you but my pay is still because of shift differential but if i didn’t let them low ball I would be in the $40s I’m in the $30s for only evening shifts but my base pay is despicable. I can’t wait till my 6 months or even 3months is over. I signed up with a job that offers bonus pay for staying with them 90 days to 6months and they will pay you out your bonuses. Definitely take advantage of those bonus pay!! It’s not hard but you will be very slow on your first couple of days I’m just now getting my grove but I still ask for help always ask for help when in doubt.
Lmaoooo girl you are hilarious 😂😂
Thanks boo. Check out my new video ❤️❤️
