Good evening my fellow CNAs, let me tell you about my Friday even though today is Monday. There are many unpredictable things about working as a CNA. You never know how a resident is going to talk to you, you never know whether or not you’ll have to do a bed change or if someone …

Emotional Block
Here is one thing they really don’t tell you when you take CNA classes: they will mentally and emotionally break you if you let it. This is such a hard job. You know the residents don’t necessarily mean what they say and you learn to not take it personal, but sometimes you can’t help it. …
I’m Sorry
Whew guys I am SO sorry I have not written in a hot minute. It has been so crazy with work and I honestly just needed to take a mental break and NOT relive my work life. This is going to be a very brief post. These past weeks I have been so stressed out …
Long Hours
Oh goodness gracious you guys…this has been such a long week. I had yesterday and today off, but man I am exhausted. By the time I finished my shift on Friday, I had worked 100 hours from April 30 to May 10 with only one day off. Man, those are some long hours. I can’t …
Why Do I Do These Things?
Yesterday, I walked into work with no intention of picking up any extra shifts. I had the plan to just stick to my usual 8 hours these next four days and that was that. Well, that didn’t happen. I walked into work and I ran into one of my bosses and asked him if he …
Busy Busy Bee

Unexpected
So this post will be fairly short because it is my weekend, but I kinda love this job? I mean, I’m still getting use to it and obviously things won’t be perfect, but so far it’s been really good. I am learning a lot about each resident and beginning to form close relationships with them. …
April 25th, 2019
I started my new job! Well, actually yesterday was my first day, but it was a new employee orientation so it really doesn’t count. Today was my first day on the floor and let me tell you…one day there was a lot more interesting than every shift I ever experienced at my old job. Some …
Your employees matter
Have you ever worked for a job where you were able to call in sick and they’d be alright? Have you ever asked to go home early because you were throwing up in the bathroom trying to make it by and they’d be okay with it? Have you ever had a job that didn’t guilt …
My Work
Hi all, let me tell you about my work because it’s…special. I’m not talking about my job, I am talking about the company I work for. In about 4 days, I am going to be switching over to another job that is closer to where I live instead of driving 30 minutes to this one. …
