if you wanna be miserable and a slave to society for $60k a year while others make millions chasing their dreams and doing what they love then go for it buddy
CNAs get dumped on repeatedly. They are primarily paid to wipe ass, clean beds, and do menial stuff the nurse can legally dump on you.
Calling in sick means being branded a lazy no good fuck and the other CNAs do it all the time. Getting hours will never be a big problem, it getting time off. Also get ready to switch between nights and days constantly.
I said advice you jigaboo
60k as a CNA? how?
You mean nurse?
This. Don't be a CNA.
I think he means nurse...
just get your RN, don't pretend to be a nurse when you could just do it. obviously it's not easy but it's way more worth it than being a CNA and you get more
Sadly this is true if you work at hospitals or old folks homes. If you work for a rehab center, physical or drug, it isnt so bad.
>My real advice is to not spend alot of money on the classes. Pick cheaper courses, its not where you go, its the certification/license that counts. Since it only pays Ok, if you spend a ton on the courses, youll never pay it off.
Currently working in urgent COVID transport for in the UK ambulance service.
Two of my crewmates have it.
I'm honestly scared but I can't quit or people will fucking die.
i hope op isnt american,what dumbass would want to work in a hospital if you live in america
>i cant quit or people will fucking die
what a shit reason to stay at your job,oh well.at least your some eurotrash and not american
hey sausagefingers
yeah i'm a Firefighter EMT in the us and every EMs job we get that isn't trauma i'm like this is when i get rona and fucking die, shit sucks. stay safe out there and remember your ppe man
Nurse stopping in. Go get a 2 year degree, work as an associate's degree nurse while getting your BSN.
Find a specialty that you like along the way. Currently working on a cardiothoracic surgical unit and having a blast.
I make almost $40/hr and have a bunch of time off if i want it. Gives me enough money and time off to pursue my passions in my active years.
>Also dont buy the BS about you getting paid well, you wont. The pay the liars are telling you is what the LPN's make, you will make half way between what fast food pays and what LPN pays. Only OK. I wont quote you a number because what CNA make in California and NY is much higher than what it pays in Fl Ga. Bear in mind that the cost of living is twice as much there aswell.
i fingered your mom's pussy
Uh
This guy (op) because I made dumb decisions and still want to get out of poverty
What would be the better alternative(s)?
Sorry to hear that, be safe man. And good on you for sticking to your morals.
even worse to think the people that will boss you around and put their laziness on you make more than you but in the bigger grand scheme of things isn't shit. Jeez
Wouldn't that experience help or non?
I kinda don't have the option to go to school for 2-4 years
>First off, job security. Second, great health insurance and bumped to the top of the lists if BS or red tape happens. (Un officially) Pay tends to be better, by a small amount, but every bit helps. You also get to know who the idiot doctors are and who can find their ass with both hands. (Trust me, some DR's are frightenly dumb.)
not a whole hell of a lot, any experience helps but your better off being an emt, you can get that training for free if you do it right
I had never heard of that
Emt training for free?
I'm not in my job for that. I usually work a 50 hour week and that's an enjoyable and satisfying work/life balance with good pay.
Recently it's been 84 hours a week without fail because 30% of the workforce is scared, nonresponsive or sick and I can't stand knowing someone has to make a "Who lives and dies" call while I'm relaxing.
I can't even spend my money.
I sent my girlfriend to live with her family in the country so she doesn't get infected.
I can't even come home and hold my girlfriend.
Fuck this pandemic.
I'm being very disciplined, but the paper masks just don't cut it. My two usual crewmates have it and I'm working solo now.
You be safe as well.
This is excellent advice. I strongly agree.
CNA's are the bottom of the chain, they wipe bums and are glorified orderlies. As a Nurse you'll have more autonomy, decision making power, clinical skills and the ability to expand your scope a lot.
Work hard for your degree though. It's the qual that counts but good scores sets you up.
>Crazy shit you've seen
I work in healthcare IT. I watched a covid r/o die with a garbage bag on their head. They were ventilating under the bag but it was still weird.
If you've ever heard of "imposter syndrome" i had a strong feeling of that once. Standing in the middle of an Operating Room where a surgeon is manually manipulating a patient's heart to keep them alive and i'm just standing there trying to get ActiveX components to launch in IE11 so that the surgeon can see diagnostic imagery. I just thought to myself how weird it was that a lifelong interest in computers and PC gaming landed me in the middle of surgery.
Ask me anything. I work with CNAs, doctors, nurses, engineers, executives, middle management, and anyone else who works in a hospital.
haha
jigaboo
it requires some work but no money
i joined a volly dept and after like 6 months probation got my emt and a bunch of fire classes paid for by the dept and after like a year went to work for an ambulance then got on the job at an urban fire dept and the only thing i've paid for is non issued tools and a leather helmet
My partner was a HCA (UK equivalent) for a year in order to gain experience and submit a successful application to university for Paramedic Science, where I met her.
It wasn't necessary for me, I got on a two year degree with no experience, decided I wanted the full degree and quit. Joined the army as a reserve medic and went for the full degree.
Do it as a volunteer and you get SOME quals for free.
Oh yeah, shit we've seen.
21 YO Female vomiting while periarrest. My first time. Was told to resolve the airway so ended up threading a little tube up a nasopharyngeal airway and sucking all the vomit out. She fought my ventilations and my mentor kept having to remind me that I needed to be firm.
Worst thing about this shit in the UK is the scrutiny and shit slinging while in training. I joined this career to get away from that but there's more squabbling and political bollocks here than in the Army or Biomed.
yeah i hate the paper shit, luckily we have actual respirators, but i wish i could just fucking wear my scba lmao
god nothing is worse than when your doing compression and the fucking vomit comes up
In the hospital right?
So if I just volunteer as an EMT I can then try to weasel my way into being one?
What's the sexy time like?
How did you get in? Which jobs are Gutenberg and which are nicht nicht?
oh i forgot to post craziest shit part, would have to be recovering a body that had sat in an apt for three weeks during a heat wave. once weirdest part was how they were obese but so light cause maggots ate him hollow, and the smell
>What's the sexy time like?
I'm currently dating a nurse from work. People do hook up from work. A lot of women flirt a lot but are married/unavailable so it doesn't go anywhere.
I'm from Florida, USA so i can't tell you what jobs are good in dooseldorf or wherever you're from. Don't know what nicht nicht means either.
