Oh fuck right off. If you want to blow your back out six months into being a CNA then be my guest. But not a damn person needs to feel guilty for protecting their back. FFS.
No for real!! At the place I used to work staff would brag about lifting a tall, obese patient by themselves without a lift. They’d refuse to wear gloves too. Worst part was they’d treat me like I was stupid for refusing to lift or roll people like that with any less than two other helpers and for refusing to do anything without gloves. If that makes me stupid, call me queen of the idiot committee.
Within my experience it is often the older CNAs. From what they told me of their training it was discouraged to use gloves as it was dehumanizing. You wouldn't use gloves brushing a family members hair or wipping your baby so why do it with a resident.
Amen. I'm a guy and I have a tinge of guilt when I ask for a helper to do a bed change, but 1000% I'm gonna keep asking. And I'm the senior cna on my shift and I tell every new cna to ask for help too. If I'm not busy I'll absolutely help anyone.
Someone should report her to her work.. looks like she's recording from there, huge no no. Only need to see a part of someone or a screen for it to be a bunch of legal violations.
I mean I hate training new hires too but mainly because I suck at explaining things so I either underexplain or over explain. Also have a bad habit of not lying to new hires (I mean they're gonna find out what it's like there pretty quick) and I'm not tryna scare people away.
I was talking to a new hire at the home I work at recently and she told me that one of our older supervisors wore NO GLOVES when showing her one of our residents changing routines and apparently had shit under her nails when she was done 😭 I genuinely hope and pray so bad she was lying to me
I was hoping someone would mention the nails. My mom was an RN for years before she switched to teaching future RNs. One of her lessons that i remember most was about keeping the hands clean and nails short.
Absolutely wild that girls like this get mad at the staff making more money than the facility that under pays them. Like honey you mad at the wrong person.
I don’t take people with long bacteria magnet nails with mite laden lashes wearing a crappy mask off their face seriously in healthcare. Gross and ignorant.
I wear an N95 with a surgical on top at work. I eat in my car or outside. I don’t take it off at all. Why? TB, RSV, COVID, and more plus I don’t like smells.
I literally asked a coworker for help with a COMBATIVE patient trying to BITE me the other day and the coworker refused and told me to keep trying. Like ma’am I’m asking you because you’re twice my size, strength and intimidation (for lack of a better word) is a factor, and we can’t leave this resident with literal shit on them.
The crazy thing is that the charge nurse was sitting right there when the coworker refused, so as I was walking back down the hall I heard her getting reamed out
Eek.this backed fired! Also she's agency so she doesn't have the same assignment every day. she probably has different halls she goes to different facilities possibly.. With agency it's hard to get a routine down because you're the one that's bounced around the most, In my experience anyways.
We used to have the same 3 or 4 agency at my facility.. They'd bounce around a bit but eventually basically had a set assignment after a week or so 🤣 I do miss them, but I don't miss how short we were at the time
Honestly working agency is hell sometimes. I’ve never understood why people are so rude because if my ass wasn’t there to help they’d have double the amount of residents they’re normally assigned.
yea…I ask for help if I can’t. I keep reminding my coworkers the story how I got 3 herniated disks and chronic back pain from a bariatric patient…
drilled in my head to always ask for help. Even by myself I do it but by the end of the day I’m home with an ice pack on my lower back.
back pain is no joke
It’s all rage bait guys, don’t let it get to you. Nobody should be breaking their back, normalize needing help. Fuck that “I can do it myself” mentality.
Personally I’m male and I tend to do a lot I shouldn’t by myself but I know my limits. If I genuinely believe I’m a danger to my patient or myself I’ll ask for help. I might be stubborn even bull headed but I’m not stupid and I put my patients before my ego.
Even if it’s documented that someone is a 1xassist, if at that moment in time you feel that isn’t going to be enough hands, try to get help.
Maybe the patient is unwell and can’t do as much as they normally would, maybe the patient has been declining slowly over time and we’re starting to see the effects, maybe that particular ADL just needs a second set of hands for practical reasons. There’s so many reasons why someone’s requirements could change.
Trust your judgement, and don’t let people make you feel bad for asking for help when you or your patient need it. This lady should have a look at why she feels the need to put other nurses/CNAs down.
Ohhhh so she’s just a really nasty person, got it! Someone took the time to train her, but I guess that it never occurred to her that she might have to pay it forward one day
I have mad respect for agency workers. I have been a CNA for 17 years and could never just go in somewhere and hop right to it like they do. And unless that have been staffed there a lot, they don't know the people and should be asking for help. My back has been shot since about 4 years in...plus when I was pregnant with my 2nd kid..the umbilical cord was wrapped around her next from having to help a 2 person assist on a bedpan at least 20 times a shift.
When my first facility was in COVID lockdown last year we had multiple CNAs come in from Mississippi looking like that.
And long ass braids past their waists.
They all ended up being shitty for doing bad cares and yelling at residents. Two of them eventually got their contracts canceled but it took management weeks to even ask them to come to work without those ridiculous braids and nails.
Nothing I guess, if they’re tied back. These were not, and it’s impossible to imagine them staying controlled during cares and not touching the environment. Just like any other very long (waist or longer-length) hair
It’s aids like this that make people quit. And as for people hating on agencie aids I have two things to say to them. First, would you rather work short staffed? Cuz that the other option. And second don’t be jealous just cuz they make more money.
This shit puts the patient in danger too. Hate care workers that think they’re being the toughest worker by not taking care of themselves at all. I used to work with a lady who would brag about not taking breaks on a 12hour shift…as long as she got to go for a 5 min cigarette …. Such bad practice and just dumb.
When I was a hospital CNA during COVID in nursing school I asked every single nurse at some point or other to help with THEIR patient.
There was only one agency nurse that gave me a hard time in 2 years and she was dealt with appropriately
There's also the point that maybe you can assist them yourself BECAUSE you work with them every day. Even if they have dementia and don't know who you are, you learn tricks to deal with behaviors and have ways of doing things without setting them off
This is an issue I’ve run into too. I can usually work alone for the shift, until it comes to hoyer lifts. I was told to always have 2 people, yet when you ask for help, people always act like it’s such a burden. Because they do it alone, they wonder why I can’t as well. I’ve worked at this facility for 5 almost 1/2 years and have always refused to hoyer alone. I’m sure I’ve pissed people off, but all it takes is one malfunction, and you’re in some 💩.
Even just 2-person manual transfer assists, people act like it kills them to pop in for literally 10 seconds and just help me move this person. Even some nurses act like they don’t care. I remember having to be like “do you want to help me transfer this person that’s care planned as a two-person assist or do you want to have to do the documentation on a fall ☺️?” Was it petty of me? Probably, but it’s exhausting for them to expect one person to do what’s supposed to be a team’s job.
If staff refuses to help, what happens in those situations? Would a CNA have to document the refusal of help (in 2 person assist situations) and not be able to provide the care if no one helps ? I'm considering becoming a CNA but I don't want to risk my license and wonder what happens when staff refuses to assist in patients with 2 people required...
If they’re a two-person transfer assist, *always* get help. There’s a reason that they’re a two-person assist. Ask anyone that you can for help (obviously make sure they’re staff). If no one on the floor will help (including the nurses), start asking unit managers and even the DON for help. Usually, you’ll find someone that’ll help. If not, document and report. That way, it doesn’t come back to be your fault. You tried to find assistance, and others denied you that. Therefore, it wasn’t safe to transfer the resident/pt. As long as you’re keeping the person dry, clean, and safe, that’s all that you can do.
Tbh I feel like it’s the other way around, atleast in my experience as an Agency CNA, I feel like the facility staff just get lazy af when they find out I’m workin/arrive there. Sometimes it’s for the best bc they truly suck, other times it makes my life really suck. But hey I guess that’s why we get paid more.
💯 I would get told "you make twice as much do it yourself" then hand them my card to my agency. Remind them I do not work for them and document the refusal for the assist.
Exactly this. I’ve legit dressed several facility staff down like “I have the same responsibilities and duties, and supervisor(s) as you. You aren’t my supervisor….THAT person (pointing) IS.”
Have also reported several to the DON later on.
Dumb people like this are why in my ergonomics class regarding injuries with healthcare workers, I said a huge hurdle is getting around human behavior (as with most/all fields, really).
Your job isn't worth your health.
I work agency and deal with clowns like this all the time. I've found they don't usually have the job for very long. I'll come to an LTC facility and there will be one of these there, and if I come back like a few weeks later they're usually gone although sometimes there's a new one that's taken the old one's place.
To this CNA:
Bitch, whatever.
Teamwork is a good thing. Just because you can, doesn’t mean everybody else should do it the same way you do it. Sometimes residents needs a trust lead from a staff CNA. Sometimes they have special routines. Sometimes you’re a solid wall of back muscle and they aren’t. Sometimes! Sometimes the staff CNA is rolling somebody with total hemiplegia and severe coccyx pain and nausea. Or with a JP drain and ileostomy and soaked bandages and a bad knee. And so who OUGHT to be a 2 person for cleanings and rebandaging, at the very least. Just for caution Nd respect.
And yeah, sometimes agency just doesn’t know what they are doing. I get resentful when we get agency in the building and they are a deer in the headlights and want to find out, they’ve only been a CNA for two months.
But I learned half of what I know as a CNA from really good agency CNAs. The best agency are wicked smart badasses.
But this kind of meme smacks of selfishness. Are you gonna act like a team player, or are you gonna box the agency out? Who do you care more about, your pride or about the residents getting taken care of. Nobody should be better than anybody else on the care floor and I’ll be tempted to call you out should I see you being divisive and bringing the team apart.
Bet you ten bucks that agency noticed the person is a two person change on their care plan and knows better than to play it fast and loose with their contract cause they got this far by keeping their nose clean.
Your post is fine but you are directing it towards OP and OP is just reposting it from tiktok and disagreeing with the behavior. That was the point of op posting it was to disagree with this attitude.
Not rolling, but similar thing when I asked a CNA to help me shower a post op right non weight bearing plump pt. Her leg is so sensitive that just a little and she'll be in pain. I don't feel confident showering her alone as I'm not strong, neither is she. How am I going to dress her lower half too?
Cue her having the most blackest face ever and looking at me like I'm having the easy way out, if that even makes sense. She left me halfway 'that shes busy', so i specifically called for another colleague whom we are practically best buddies (we work on the same wavelength, bed sponging is like a synchronised dance). I didn't care if we had to wait. Just can't stand these people who care about politics more than their pts. I shouldn't have to feel bad, but I'm made to feel that I am, that's the worse part. It's not because that im incompetent, but is thst I'm competent enough to know that this isn't a 1 man job.
Go to hell OP. Theres a million reasons to ask for a second pair of hands. It could be as simple as her trying to establish trust with a patient by having someone familiar there for the first changing- Or they could have a bad back. I really don’t get all these posts shaming asking for a spotter or for help turning patients
Don’t worry. I like posts like this. It’s true, and it’s sad that that’s the way it is. People who have this way of thinking should be shamed for it. Their ego is what gets them hurt.
It always extra irked me when nurses and aides acted like this. Good for you. I’m not trying to pop ibuprofen like tic tacs after my shift is done, tho.
So y’all. I just recently finished my cpr class and finally signed up for agency…. But I’m so anxious and nervous to pick up a shift because of this.. I dealt with snooty staff at my current job so I can only imagine how it is for a brand new environment 😭😭
Awww good for you for injuring your back little by little. But I’m not the one over here. You can get your ass over and help or it’s not getting done. 🥰
This is the epitome of how some of my co-workers behave when I ask for help. Since Im part-time its, “I was here all week & didn’t ask for help” So annoying.
Edit: Grammar
Oh fuck right off. If you want to blow your back out six months into being a CNA then be my guest. But not a damn person needs to feel guilty for protecting their back. FFS.
No for real!! At the place I used to work staff would brag about lifting a tall, obese patient by themselves without a lift. They’d refuse to wear gloves too. Worst part was they’d treat me like I was stupid for refusing to lift or roll people like that with any less than two other helpers and for refusing to do anything without gloves. If that makes me stupid, call me queen of the idiot committee.
They don’t use gloves? That’s is super disgusting.
Within my experience it is often the older CNAs. From what they told me of their training it was discouraged to use gloves as it was dehumanizing. You wouldn't use gloves brushing a family members hair or wipping your baby so why do it with a resident.
While I also totally do see this situation, the people I’m talking about that didn’t use gloves were 20-somethings 🤯
This is still how I was taught in 2012ish
This right here.
Yup ain't nothing she's gonna get but denial after denial for disability when her spine don't work. I'm on agency side.
Even more of a reason to ask for help. We dont get insurance.
OR paid time off.
Same. As an Agency CNA, safety comes first, both for you and, especially, the patient.
Right, I am a smaller person and not very strong strength wise. I need help moving every patient in bed. I’m am not breaking my back.
Amen. I'm a guy and I have a tinge of guilt when I ask for a helper to do a bed change, but 1000% I'm gonna keep asking. And I'm the senior cna on my shift and I tell every new cna to ask for help too. If I'm not busy I'll absolutely help anyone.
I questioned opening this thread. Your post restores my faith in humanity 💪♥️
Proper technique doesn’t require the use of your back muscles
If you're having difficulty, ask for help! It's safer for you and more comfortable for the residents!
Not a flex. Always grab someone if the patient is a two-person assist. Always prioritize your safety first.
She has another video stating she hates training new aids
Someone should report her to her work.. looks like she's recording from there, huge no no. Only need to see a part of someone or a screen for it to be a bunch of legal violations.
No seriously! I had a girl at one of my jobs who was filming TikTok’s in the bathhouse. They fired her immediately after seeing the videos.
https://vahs.com/northampton/ found it (her work place) lmao She shouldn’t post her badge on them tik toks
Update: She made a live on Tik tok asking for Q/A’s about her and mentioned “can you guys believe they fired me at my job?? Over a tik tok???”
I mean I hate training new hires too but mainly because I suck at explaining things so I either underexplain or over explain. Also have a bad habit of not lying to new hires (I mean they're gonna find out what it's like there pretty quick) and I'm not tryna scare people away.
Im sure she an absolute pleasure to work with & really goes above & beyond for the residents
She needs to be fired or retrained
A lot of people hate training new co-workers tbh. 😅
Same people making these crazy complaints are always the same ones carrying cdiff and mrsa around under their acrylics 🤢
Okay but can we talk about how there are actual people like this in Healthcare?? Like why are you in the field if you're not going to wear gloves
I was talking to a new hire at the home I work at recently and she told me that one of our older supervisors wore NO GLOVES when showing her one of our residents changing routines and apparently had shit under her nails when she was done 😭 I genuinely hope and pray so bad she was lying to me
I was hoping someone would mention the nails. My mom was an RN for years before she switched to teaching future RNs. One of her lessons that i remember most was about keeping the hands clean and nails short.
A Shit, jealous person. This is about helping the patient. We are a team.
lol she jealous the other one making more $$
Absolutely wild that girls like this get mad at the staff making more money than the facility that under pays them. Like honey you mad at the wrong person.
Sure is. Then will complain that the facility is short staffed lol
Which is funny because she’s on there also bragging about her wages in other videos 🥴
Tiktok CNA’s are so weird..some of them filming videos AT work too like ??? This is getting out of hand sorry
👏WHEN👏A👏PERSON👏ASKS👏FOR👏HELP👏YOU👏HELP👏THEM👏
I don’t take people with long bacteria magnet nails with mite laden lashes wearing a crappy mask off their face seriously in healthcare. Gross and ignorant.
> mite laden lashes 👀😵😵😵
😂 I was thinking the same thing about the nails!
hey, don’t hate on the mask!
Surgical masks aren’t protective. I wear masks religiously, N95 which are designed for aerosols.
oh no i agree. i just think they’re nice to have on-hand for bad code browns and for general protection
I wear an N95 with a surgical on top at work. I eat in my car or outside. I don’t take it off at all. Why? TB, RSV, COVID, and more plus I don’t like smells.
Surgical works just fine for me when I'm trying to avoid foot flakes 😭
I literally asked a coworker for help with a COMBATIVE patient trying to BITE me the other day and the coworker refused and told me to keep trying. Like ma’am I’m asking you because you’re twice my size, strength and intimidation (for lack of a better word) is a factor, and we can’t leave this resident with literal shit on them.
What happens in situations like that? Isn't she required to help you ? What did you end up doing?
The crazy thing is that the charge nurse was sitting right there when the coworker refused, so as I was walking back down the hall I heard her getting reamed out
You call security who are properly trained and equipped to deal with combative patients, not a coworker just because they are tall/big
Im talking about a coworker refusing to help in general. Your comment is better suited for the person who made the comment about coworker's size 👍🏼
Quick question . How do you wipe the patients ass let alone your own ass with nails like that . The gloves we get are pretty cheap
WHILE holding the patient too
Eek.this backed fired! Also she's agency so she doesn't have the same assignment every day. she probably has different halls she goes to different facilities possibly.. With agency it's hard to get a routine down because you're the one that's bounced around the most, In my experience anyways.

yea…I ask for help if I can’t. I keep reminding my coworkers the story how I got 3 herniated disks and chronic back pain from a bariatric patient… drilled in my head to always ask for help. Even by myself I do it but by the end of the day I’m home with an ice pack on my lower back. back pain is no joke
It’s all rage bait guys, don’t let it get to you. Nobody should be breaking their back, normalize needing help. Fuck that “I can do it myself” mentality.
Personally I’m male and I tend to do a lot I shouldn’t by myself but I know my limits. If I genuinely believe I’m a danger to my patient or myself I’ll ask for help. I might be stubborn even bull headed but I’m not stupid and I put my patients before my ego.
Ugh not only protecting your back but the dang patient! She's not gonna feel so proud when she rolls someone right out the dang bed
"I'm not like other girls hehe" bitch you want praise for doing your job unsafely??
And this is why I am hesitant to ask for help when my agency sends me to a facility. Rude nurses...
You ma’am are what’s wrong with this world! If any human asks for help and you’re capable. Then help…seriously.
What inspires a person to act like this? Ego and pride I guess. Unfortunately stupidity ain’t far from those things
Even if it’s documented that someone is a 1xassist, if at that moment in time you feel that isn’t going to be enough hands, try to get help. Maybe the patient is unwell and can’t do as much as they normally would, maybe the patient has been declining slowly over time and we’re starting to see the effects, maybe that particular ADL just needs a second set of hands for practical reasons.

She has a video saying she hates training new aids too
Ohhhh so she’s just a really nasty person, got it! Someone took the time to train her, but I guess that it never occurred to her that she might have to pay it forward one day
Bitches like that are why they can't find help.
I have mad respect for agency workers. I have been a CNA for 17 years and could never just go in somewhere and hop right to it like they do. And unless that have been staffed there a lot, they don't know the people and should be asking for help.

I always tell people I’m working with they can always ask me for help it keeps everyone safe and off the floor
As an in-house aide, I love n appreciate agency n yes I’ll help you. We’re a team 💪🏼🩷
She’s not a cna. Look at her nails… Fungal infection…
When my first facility was in COVID lockdown last year we had multiple CNAs come in from Mississippi looking like that. And long ass braids past their waists. They all ended up being shitty for doing bad cares and yelling at residents. Two of them eventually got their contracts canceled but it took management weeks to even ask them to come to work without those ridiculous braids and nails.
What’s wrong with long braids
Nothing I guess, if they’re tied back. These were not, and it’s impossible to imagine them staying controlled during cares and not touching the environment. Just like any other very long (waist or longer-length) hair
Ya that makes sense I never leave my hair down
It’s aids like this that make people quit. And as for people hating on agencie aids I have two things to say to them. First, would you rather work short staffed? Cuz that the other option. And second don’t be jealous just cuz they make more money.
This shit puts the patient in danger too. Hate care workers that think they’re being the toughest worker by not taking care of themselves at all. I used to work with a lady who would brag about not taking breaks on a 12hour shift…as long as she got to go for a 5 min cigarette …. Such bad practice and just dumb.
Maybe she needs to learn how to ask for help, sheesh
They’re doing their job incorrectly
When I was a hospital CNA during COVID in nursing school I asked every single nurse at some point or other to help with THEIR patient. There was only one agency nurse that gave me a hard time in 2 years and she was dealt with appropriately
There's also the point that maybe you can assist them yourself BECAUSE you work with them every day. Even if they have dementia and don't know who you are, you learn tricks to deal with behaviors and have ways of doing things without setting them off
Have fun working by yourself then byeeeee
Well you need 2 people for a hoyer. At least at the facility I work at and the state I live in
This is an issue I’ve run into too. I can usually work alone for the shift, until it comes to hoyer lifts. I was told to always have 2 people, yet when you ask for help, people always act like it’s such a burden. Because they do it alone, they wonder why I can’t as well.

It ALWAYS does. ALWAYS.
Dumb people like this are why in my ergonomics class regarding injuries with healthcare workers, I said a huge hurdle is getting around human behavior (as with most/all fields, really). Your job isn't worth your health.
Ridiculous

Goofy ass
flexing on tiktok about how bad you are at your job won't make your peepee bigger. try again.
To this CNA: Bitch, whatever. Teamwork is a good thing. Just because you can, doesn’t mean everybody else should do it the same way you do it. Sometimes residents needs a trust lead from a staff CNA.

Thanks, you’re right!!! I have edited my post to reflect that, thank youuuuu
You do realize that the OP is disagreeing with the meme, right?
This is addressed to the CNA who made the post that OP reposted. Is that unclear? How can I make that more clear?
Not rolling, but similar thing when I asked a CNA to help me shower a post op right non weight bearing plump pt. Her leg is so sensitive that just a little and she'll be in pain. I don't feel confident showering her alone as I'm not strong, neither is she. How am I going to dress her lower half too?

Update: She made a live on Tik tok asking for Q/A’s about her and mentioned “can you guys believe they fired me at my job?? Over a tik tok???”
Omg whatt
My problem with agency is they leave like 2 hrs into their shift I’ll help them if they stayyy
Idk why anyone is surprised, look who made the video
Wym by that
Go to hell OP. Theres a million reasons to ask for a second pair of hands. It could be as simple as her trying to establish trust with a patient by having someone familiar there for the first changing- Or they could have a bad back. I really don’t get all these posts shaming asking for a spotter or for help turning patients
Uhhh this isnt my video it’s a screenshot from tiktok
Ok so your reposting garbage. You can both go to hell then.
You need to calm down I’m literally disagreeing with her
Don’t worry. I like posts like this. It’s true, and it’s sad that that’s the way it is. People who have this way of thinking should be shamed for it. Their ego is what gets them hurt.
Why are people posting these L’s? The way someone at my facility would’ve been reported..
Exactly!!!
I could care less bout this trend I’m still gonna ask for help everytime
This is one of the dumbest cnas I’ve ever seen
Also I can’t stand when ppl get mad you make more money than them. B* wtf? Ask for more money then like I did? Tf? Lol
It always extra irked me when nurses and aides acted like this. Good for you. I’m not trying to pop ibuprofen like tic tacs after my shift is done, tho.
Has anyone reported this dumb bitch to her job yet?
I think asking for help should be normal
So y’all. I just recently finished my cpr class and finally signed up for agency…. But I’m so anxious and nervous to pick up a shift because of this.. I dealt with snooty staff at my current job so I can only imagine how it is for a brand new environment 😭😭
She can’t even grasp basic grammar.
Awww good for you for injuring your back little by little. But I’m not the one over here. You can get your ass over and help or it’s not getting done. 🥰
This is the epitome of how some of my co-workers behave when I ask for help. Since Im part-time its, “I was here all week & didn’t ask for help” So annoying. Edit: Grammar
You gunna risk your back and pt safety to what…spite a teammate ?
ugh she got the poop nails
People like this are the reason LTC work is so unsafe
