Loved your video. You never put cnas down you focused on the reason why it would be beneficial to become a cna first and in your video you put cna's as being part of the nursing team. Most Rns get so caught up on thinking their better than Cna's and speaking on that. You were very respectful and stayed focus on the subject only. Cna's are very smart and can do what Rns do it is just not in their scope of practice without the degree. Thanks again.

I have been a CNA for almost nine years. I am currently in school to become a Medication Aide(QMA in Indiana) and then may go get my LPN. I love how versatile nursing is.

I do agree! I’m starting my CNA program this month because I really want to get the experience and affirm my why. Love the video! ✨

im a firm believer it is benficial for every nursing student to work as a CNA prior to nursing school or in nursing school

You are my role model!

Thanks man... its great, and helped

My goal is to become a CRNA so taken this step will help a lot for sure thanks for the video

So im going to Start my CNA training Course in a couple of months when i graduate High School since im class of 2021. I then am going going to enroll myself in an ADN program would that help me become a RN faster? My friend is recommending me to make MA first and then go to the ADN program after because it would be most helpful.

Which facility exposes a CNA to a wider scope of Nursing experience, A hospital or A Care home?

How long does it take to become an RN after been a nursing assistant. Is the years of running an RN program less when you're a nursing assistant?

I’m 17 and I will be getting my CNA license in May. I will then be going to a community college to take my nursing classes! I am so excited for my journey!

Just LITERALLY found your video 2 seconds ago under ZDOGGMD's vid about that nurse that got "Doxxed"! Saw your comment, realized I had a fellow nerd in the mix and well! So, sorry if I do NOT have the exact right video for this but I didn't quite see one when I looked and I couldn't find one scrolling through! So anyway, my name's Jessie and I have been in and outta hospitals since I was zero basically due to being a premature twin (nothing too major...ADD, epilepsy, arthritis, allergies to food and seasonal, a sleep disorder, GERD baby with the GERD re-triggered at 10 so from then on I could only take Tylenol OTC, one day at the dentist I had a partial complex seizure on Novocaine and now I am a risk for various types of locals (learned that this risk is enhanced if you are epileptic) causing me to seize, etcetera). So, I have a HUGE affinitive for medical staff, especially nurses...BUT I had a horrendous run in with SEVERAL nurses at a hospital stay over a broken leg recently! It was horrendous from the night I had gone in and I was wondering if you had ever heard of or experienced anything so bad!?! As I had come in they were obviously unable to figure out what to put me on for pain meds at trauma! (I was literally shouting at them while seizing as whatever unrecorded local they used was causing me to seize and obviously not Novocaine as that's not the best for clots; that I CANNOT BE ON ASPIRIN AND WILL NEED A NARCOTIC DUE TO MY REFLUX! Of course, sounding like a junky in the process and also telling them I was spiking due to the local and someone shouted back there are different types! OBVIOUSLY, this is a new type causing me to seize with each injection and it should have been written down!) Anyway, when they were moving me gurney to patient bed my nurses were absolutely CHILDISH! They claimed with each motion I was screaming and demanded to know what pain meds I was put on and that they kept on refusing to move me as they felt like they kept breaking everything again with each touch! How does knowing the meds at that point in a first transfer (which the patient is most likely NOT going to know or pay attention to) matter or help when they are scared of moving a patient and hurting them!?! They are moving a patient that just had a trauma related experience and even if they are on medication for pain would probably be shrieking! If they can't handle that (the nurse had a very firm grip on my left/broken leg) they shouldn't be working trauma! They literally said to me since I was unable to tell them what I was on I was going to have to move myself in my C-collar, fresh stitches to the left elbow, my extremely inflamed right shoulder feeling like it was being yanked out (I had paralysis to both arms but that's a long story for another comment you are free to ask about!), etcetera to the bed! I obviously, kept protesting and shouting at them and gripping the gurney/transfer bed as tight as I could saying, PUT MY F*CKING LEG DOWN AND TURN ON YOUR RADIO AND CALL FOR BACKUP IF YOU CANNOT DO YOUR JOB AND ARE ACTING LIKE A LITTLE PRINCE! If they had worked trauma before they should have expected it (patients in such pain)! I had a nurse give me BS about not taping down my port, using this whole the cord is like a river, self help poster, mind over matter, it should move and flow with the water crap and then ultimately said but it should be taped and never did! That caused what may be one of my last good veins being stuck 1000s of times already (the phlebotomist couldn't even find anything on my lower arms and wrists with a butterfly needle for regular drawings!) to collapse and a nurse had to redo my port when they gave me new meds and fluids and she nearly couldn't find a place! I had one throw me into the recliner in the patient room as they had me up and going to the bathroom (not the commode) before PT had even had me walking that far or doing that much stressing and I was brought in too close to the recliner, my right leg fatigued, tried everything to not go down onto my left leg and was failing and of course those generic square front recliners in EVERY HOSPITAL so nothing to grab onto and I looked right and before head hit the seat of the recliner saw the lower scrubs of either the assistant or the nurse (the nurses and techs on that floor wore scrubs that were mostly interchangeable in color from berries to light and dark blues...mostly blues 99% of the time this was the one time though that I cannot recall if it was a nurse or tech that did this) trying to go for the legs but subconsciously I guess did the whole go for the middle/waist it's much sturdier move! Of course, who I did that too was female and I guess they didn't like that as she had her hands on me first followed by her skinnier male associate and she just launched me into the chair as I was still going down and was all you want in the chair or not and he just couldn't hold on! As I was barely standing in the first 40 minutes of that while complaining of fatigue and noting the closeness and an inability to move back the woman could have held onto me as I had a good enough grip on the walker, my main complaint was the inability to turn in a circle to sit even with help due to not enough distance and then gotten my wheelchair which the other could see being done which was 5 feet if that away and I would have just had to SIT IN! No need for the foot rests! I even had a tech tell me on various nights she assisted me that if I didn't talk in that sweet, little, angelic voice your mom tells you to use or you get no dessert or TV when you get home and just screamed at all day that me biting back pain to talk in as normal of my human voice (which is about as loud as yours!) was "too loud" and I was "SCREAMING AT HER so we couldn't talk!" and would just walk out on me! I did everything I could to be cordial and talk politely with them and be calm! Heck, I didn't even scream with the boys that moved me the first night (well couldn't) the first time they told me as they didn't say why...but then of course a pain flare and the ridiculous reasons and coming off meds and being asked to do something so ridiculous! I almost did something I had never done as the door was open to my room and of course I was being ignored as having a screamer in trauma is NORMAL and looked for something to grab that was heavy and would make a noise as I knew my pillow which was the closest on the bed wouldn't do much and considered throwing it out the door! I would have gladly been sedated if it got those idiots a tongue lashing! When I went for in-patient, I was NOT supposed to have my nurses at rehab mess with my dressing on my soft cast and the one nurse I had repeatedly and loved kept trying to do just that! I know she was just trying to be kind and redress it, but she didn't even realize it was all velcro as she mainly wanted to adjust it as it looked tight and it was as I hadn't elevated it in hospital as most don't with a soft cast! I kept telling her it is OK, just please leave it and look at the records as the surgeon said, "DO NOT touch it until she sees me again!" and she kept on refusing and I basically had to scream at her like she was ripping the leg off to get her to go as calm wasn't helping! Later at the same in-patient I had a tech yank some body wipes that were at a perfectly reachable height to take one from the pack out of my sutured arm and say, "Well, she wanted me to wipe her back!" I told her, "What if I was an elderly or more disabled patient and you did that to them?!" Literal, "stonewall" defense of "You said 'wipe your back'!" Of course, with how she yanked, my arm and hand tightened, so she literally got aggressive with me for the pack and so I screamed and that time two nurses (mine and one I'd never seen!) came in and she gave them the same idiocy! She was still on the floor and in my shared room until I left on about 5/8/19! Also, dealt with another aid and this time also a NURSE here that gave me the whole baby voice or we will just abandon you treatment! I still have no ill-will towards nurses or medical overall as I know it is tiring, stressful and maddening work but sometimes there are things that should NOT be allowed to happen if you are a patient and they should be stepping into their proticalls! The night I went in, the excuse for not letting me wait on the gurney was that it was too busy and it was ONLY THEM as I SAID! Ridiculous! As for the rest of that, that is just despicable! Do you have any commentary on such experiences you may have gone through or how to handle such things?! I called HR/the top staffing and spoke to it twice at each care place!

Can you do a informational video on tuition assistance? And would you recommend CNA bringing over to LVN then RN or CNA to RN? You’re guidance would be greatly appreciated.

would al this apply to CMA ??

Hello, If someone is 21 years old and wants to go to school for nursing, should that person become a CNA first or go into the RN program?

Hello sir i finish BSN in the Philippines for a min time i enrolled CNA

Hi am faith and I am a certified assistant nursing and I school down here in United Arab Emirates and I have my certificate too but how can I have a license as a CNA Secondly I head you say I can also become a Nurse withing six weeks how please am interested

im actually graduating with my bachelors and i have my associates. i live in ny and i was going to pursue OT but decided i liked nursing better and grad school was to expensive. so im actually going to move to FL and i want to go to a CNA school then to become an RN is that worth it? and do i have an upper hand because i have education, 5 years of PT aide experience and because im a guy?! im 25

So Idk how to put it but I’m in pre-nursing at a community college. I’m not that of a smart guy not even close but I still wanna be a nurse. As A nursing advisor told me that road is tough ahead. I have to keep my grades up which I doubt I’ll be able to. So if I become CNA how long will it take to me to become a licensed nurse? Please reply!

Does your CNA help getting to a school if low GPA?

If I do CNA, can I go straight into gettting my associate degree (RN) in nursing? or would I have to work as a CNA and then do my RN?

I just need the number to talk to somebody.

Can you take RN classes partime while working as a CNA?
