❤️ THIS RAVE SENT IN BY S ❤️ -LAURA
I’ve been a CNA at a local hospital for the last 2 years, but have been out on a workplace injury for over 16 months.
I’ve been a CNA from hospice to travel home health to rehab and it makes me absolutely sick to see CNAs treated like revolving frontline infantry and paid low ball wages.
Through my years, I’ve never seen a RN leave their position due to a back injury, yet they make triple my earnings because they can give pills…

CNA looking to leave the field due to poor wages and ridiculous ratios. I was recently marginalized in a sort of limbo of not being on schedule but not being fired due to not accepting (via text to my HR explaining exactly why) an assignment of 29 residents (1/2 on either end of the building, two tracheotomy total care and two residents that had fallen on the same night 2 nights prior because they’re fall risks and understaffing) my shoulder has been thrown out of whack due to all of the total care and bariatric patients (thankfully only one combative)… had nurses clap at me to get my attention like I’m a dog… nope nope. Maybe CNA’s should just disappear and let the nurses go back to doing the basics alongside pill pushing. I’m tired of being looked down on, talked down to and being paid less than a McDonald’s drive-thru employee.
understandable that u want to leave, a lot of us are thinking about it, also being shortstaffed is so taxing on my body on top of the disrespect that we receive. I wish we got paid more. Sorry to hear about your shoulder
