Hey guys I am a recruiter for Greenstaff Medical If you're a CNA looking for work in homecare, let me know I'll pass my email address to you

I don’t think you really emphasized how gross it is CNA’s literally have to deal with a lot of shit 💩 and smelly urine, it’s physically demanding trying to ambulate and turn those patients in bed I’m an RN and I do some of their job because I have to help CNA’s sometimes but I just feel their pay is so unfair The CNA’s where I live make $16 an hour what is $16 especially when the government hospital taxes so much from their check
Comment from : Egypt

Thank you so much for your honesty!! Let's not forget the mobility of very heavyset patients causes life altering permanently disabling back injuries!!

In AZ, you have to become a CNA, before you can go any further in nursing

Comment from : Vanesa diaz

I’ve been a LNA for 10 years in a hospital settings I enjoy my job and now I’m pursuing a nursing degree and I know I’ll be ahead of many nursing students cause I have those skills already I also have seen and exposed to many procedures and medical terms
Comment from : Geisa Bartels

Physical and emotional drainage… brbrNurses are mostly emotional drained brbrCNA’s are mostly physically drained brbrAt the end of the day nurses and CNA are both physically and emotionally drained but can not do the job without one another ❤

Amazing video, thanks David !
Comment from : Beto Muscle

I knew this was gonna be an "if you're this or if you're that" video and not actually talking about how bad a CNA gets treated
Comment from : Michael Fox

It's a thankless job, that doesn't cover the cost of living
Comment from : Andrew Allen

Oh my gosh 😮 was reading some of the comments And I can’t believe that they pay so little pay… the McDonald here pays 1800/hr so I’ll just be making the same as my neighbor and she does fast food 😂 that’s a joke 😅
Comment from : Landriah M

David what would be an entry level pay scale for new CNA’s?
Comment from : Stefano Siano

My mom's a cna and it's hard work but it pays off my mom has had the best patients that their families don't wanna deal with 🤦🏽‍♀️and every state is different pay and ppl
Comment from : karolyn morales

Thank you so much for this video! I concluded my second core term and contemplated if challenging the CNA board exam was worth the hype for nursing students Do you have any recommendations for student nurses? Pros and cons?
Comment from : racel labasan

You have such a wonderful energy about you 🎉
Comment from : barbara walker

I have a big respect for CNA who become a Nurse than just Nurse who did not experince being a CNA!
Comment from : Jude C

Nurses are the backbone of doctors and CNAs are the backbone of nurses I encourage my students to become CNAs for firsthand experience
Comment from : NurseEducatorBen

Comment from : Ariana GrandeVids

I've been a CNAfor 28 yrs and I specialize in Geriatrics and Dementia I work in a nursing home I started when I was 19 and I'm 47 yrs old and your right I get paid SHITI get $2000 per hour and its only because of the Covid Pay in October there stopping it so in November I will decreased to $1675 per hour but because I've been doing it for 28 yrs I have no interest in going back to school don't get me wrong I love my job but to only make less than $2,000 a month is so insulting to the number of years I've been doing this job I'm definetly stuck between a rock and a hard place and living in Massachussetts our taxes and rents are out of control but I'm lucky I pay $75000 a month for rent I don't drive my job is literally 2 minutes from my house and everything I need is down town where I live which is a 5 minute walk so I'm very lucky that way !!!I love your video and yes I'm 47 and I started at 19 December 16 2022 will be 28 yrs being a CNA and I wished I had gone to nursing school but I guess I'm content in what I'm doing and I just think to my self in 15 yrs I can retire so that's something I'm looking forward to plus I've been working since I was 14 so thank god I started saving young now I have a nice little nest eggbut the best advice I can give to anyone is save your money work hard and as much as you can because when you hit your 40's and early 50's you don't want to be working crazy hours double shifts in this age bracket as if your in your 20's and 30's now I only work 32 hours a week I never do overtime EVER !!!and its thankfully because I busted my BUTT!!when I was younger I used to work 96 hours a week which is 7 days straight double shifts mainly 7:am to 11 pm just thinking about that now makes me exhausted so yea this job is definetly not to be one if you seek out money unless you work double shifts thank you for your video I hope I can give someone some insight who is thinking about doin this job and another thing is if you have little patience and have no compassion for people than this is Definetly not you field
Comment from : DUTCHAPPLEPIE123

so if i wanted to become a surgeon in the future but for now in college i’d like to be a CNA, it’s not a good idea? what do you suggest I should do instead?
Comment from : ezenwanyi

I am a CNA and a certified medication aide It's very rewarding but it's not easy The mental part is the hardest part for me When one of my residents die it breaks my heart
Comment from : angie Horn

Wait Being a CNA, do you work while you're in nursing school? Or after? Please help, can someone explain?
Comment from : ♡Angel♡

Actually here in NY CNAs are well paid imo, minimum average is 19 an hour and maximum offer I've seen is 2350 an hour the more experience you have, the more they pay you, but I heard it's a busy job 8 to 10 hours for 5 days straight, I have a CNA friend and he said clinics are the best option for work balance, not too busy, and a good pay, hospitals are the worst for a CNA
Comment from : El Newbie

As far as pay yeah no I make $7 more than minimal dues But yeah If your going to do this, have a path It's not a forever path
Comment from : Tori Loren Virgo

I’m thinking of taking classes to become a cna in pediatrics, is pediatrics a good department to work in as a cna? I love kids so I’m hoping this path is worth it in the long run
Comment from : Dave Flowers

At my nursing home the corporate people say 4 cnas are overstaffed and throw admission and room changes and have alot of showers and alot of 2 people heavy changers and alot of residents in general brbrI always say you shouldn't be doing this for the money because if your doing this fir the money your not giving these residents the best care
Comment from : John Burien

Please what is the difference between CNA and NURSE AID
Comment from : Djouri rose

I'm starting my CNA training in a week or so I am excited I am going into this looking at all the positive I can! I'm starting at 1550 (a dollar above minimum wage here) and they bump it up to 1660 after you get certified (They pay for training) And they give you a raise each year I'm very happy I'm able to have this opportunity
Comment from : Cordelia Garnet

This helps
Comment from : Akinyi

I love being a CNA the job is extremely satisfying Without us CNA’S the nurses wouldn’t be able to function We are definitely one of the most important positions in the healthcare system Not only do we clean people, we do range of motions, some wound care, emergencies such as CPR and making sure they don’t have pressure sores, etc
Comment from : Bradey Alberni

In Texas in long-term care facilities, there is no resident-to-aide ratio cap
Comment from : Hilary Gwilt

I disagree with some points I have 20yrs experience in the medical field specifically nursing homes and CNA work I was a CNA for 3 yrs before I moved up the ladder Being in the medical field for so long I can tell you that CNAs are the most important in any facility I disagree with the point you made on wages Going into the medical field it's automatically known you have to be a caring person but that's why the incentive of money exist Take away the high paying wages of a nurse or doctor and see if they do the dirty work for a stranger in their facility Ppl absolutely go into the medical field for the money It's a steady job you always have a paycheck and reliable job Incentive is needed to motivate ppl to do a job is a no brainer and caring automatically comes with the territory Next thing I disagree with is not being a CNA to start off your medical journey It absolutely helps because it weeds out those who don't want to do the work Being a CNA is extremely hard work Back breaking hard work Stressful as well They're also underpaid bare minimum should be 18 an hour It's a skill and a trade to learn properly to ambulate ppl and use the hoyer lifts and sit to stands and manuever patients accordingly I suggest be a CNA for 2yrs understand the hard work ethic because it will make you a better nurse and to be a team player Good luck to anyone pursing a nursing or other medical advancement
Comment from : Edsayswhoa

If you want to continue being happy don’t become a cna if you’re already dead inside becoming a cna will be great for u lol! I’m a cna/emt-b I work in the ER it’s a lot 😂
Comment from : Darth Panda

Most nursing programs are requiring students to have a CNA license prior to applying to the program
Comment from : Diana R

I’m a certified nursing assistant in New York The pay where I’m located is great However, the environment can be toxic at times and the work load is heavy You truly have to be passionate about it and on the bright side it’s good experience If you are struggling, don’t let a bad CNA experience discourage you from pursuing a nursing degree You can do this!
Comment from : Prep For Purpose

what the diff between Nursing Assistant and CNA? I recall trying an 6month or 18m program to become an NA years ago now I want to help teens I work with to choose where to work when they want to become a nurse which is best? NA, CNA or RNA? which pays more?? does travel pay more than staying? which pays more and how long do you need to train to become an NA vs CNA or RNA?
Comment from : Random overpopulated world ideas

Yeah, I’m not going back there
Comment from : Holo The Wise Wolf

i’m in high school in a ROP cna class and i’m starting my clinicals tomorrow and seeing this is so stressful😭😭

Comment from : Marcos garcia

Hi David,thanks for the knowledge QnbrWhat's the cost of studying cna course
Comment from : NAMBASA DEBORAH

i’m going to become a cna, and eventually a pediatrician, just want to learn some good stuff while going to college
Comment from : Wowza

Hi everyone If I’m a health care assistant in the UK (called nurses aid in USA) where can I go online to find jobs in USA ? It would be under the EB-3 Unskilled visa I don’t know of any agency’s or websites that fund foreign nurses aids
Comment from : Truth Seeker

It should be reasons to become one not reasons why you shouldn’t become one lol I haven’t seen the video yet Every job is difficult no job is easy just remember you are helping others
Comment from : Truth Seeker

The pay is low when you work for the company directly BUT if you are an agency cna you can earn almost $30/hr
Comment from : UrsTrulyKJ

No way lol nursing assistants have a lot of opportunities!! Lol I worked wounds and rna and the facilities you work at can move you into management!!:) there’s a lot of opportunities in az
Comment from : BeliaBeans S

It dosent seem like you know what you are talking about? Of course you have advancement…brThe pay is not minimum wage… my first job as a CNA paid $22 an hour and that was the lowest paying out of all the places I applied toobrThey are also willing to help pay for me to go to school and become a RN, places around here in Florida are paying $38-$44 hourly which is definitely a good amount of money… And I’m sorry but just like any other job you are probably there for the money lmfao, otherwise you would be doing this for free and volunteer brother, other than those you made good points
Comment from : SamSmokes

I know some people that make good money as CNA Poor job on the facts, Sir
Comment from : Wayne Johnson

CNA’s in 2021 BETTER START ASKING FOR MORE PAY ITS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT WE ARE PAID MINIMUM WAGE OR TWO DOLLARS MORE
Comment from : Tobyguy22

I get 2150 an hour as a cna

Comment from : Edson dionisio

14-16 patients?? Wtf hospital did you work at? I work in a hospital and have 5-7 patients max (6 is standard) I cannot imagine having twice that That sounds extremely unsafe
Comment from : Ione Bae

Hardest, most underpaid job in the world DONT DO IT YOURE WORTH MORE
Comment from : Jeffrey O

EVS is the shield / backbone of the hospital in my opinion plus most evs make more than cna's :)
Comment from : MisterSmokeyMan

Thank you!! Needed to hear this!!!
Comment from : Trina Robledo

I've I've a CNA for 11 1/2 years I make $18/hr with a nocturnal differential Totals a little over $20/hr Yes we work hard, yes we are on our feet, yes we mostly get paid lower than we deserve, but if all CNAs were gonna go on and be nurses, there would be no CNAs On top of that, not all of us CNAs are smart enough to go through nursing school And a lot of the time if you have to work while going through nursing school, you're gonna have a lot harder of a time So maybe instead of these being problems, jobs should appreciate them more and pay more
Comment from : Jamie Yandle

So i have a question, i'd love to be a cna but i'm swamped with work and going to community college to become a rn Do programs automatically reject u if don't have prior experince?
Comment from : Sagui Martinez

I see what you mean by only be a CNA if you go for rn,but CNA is a good way for someone to see if they will be good in medical field Working with patients and seeing how annoying they can be You have to be patient and if you think about it every job does no pay you a fair wage
Comment from : Jonaarev

I've been a CNA since 2017 I have never gotten a raise (the only pay increase I got was because minimum wage went up, and even after that I still make minimum wage) I am treated poorly The only reason I keep going is because I'm a nursing student, but if I weren't I would have quit a long time ago
Comment from : EUROPA Music - Official Channel

They should pay$20 hour for CNA and GNA should get $25 hour they pay low and clean there ass but nothing comes out of it but a low pay rate
Comment from : Brenda Sollers

Hey,is this the same as hospitality aide?
Comment from : Brenda Sollers

Yes I'm a retired CNA/HHA/PT I had a chance to go to nursing school but I actually liked being a CNA I worked a lot in the hospitals with nurses and practitioners They really appreciate us I'm retired now I have great respect for nurses and doctors
Comment from : Joyce Jean-Baptiste

That's wrong
Comment from : Hicham zeraa

I suppose the one stepping stone from being a CNA is the academic route, and maybe someone has said this already A CNA could pursue teaching CNA courses
Comment from : Michal Steiner

I went ahead and subscribed you give some great points but I'm going into CNA for experience for at least a year, sign up for classes at a university it takes too long to get an RN degree in community college than a university here
Comment from : PrincePalmUwU

When your a CNA you get asked a thousand times a day by staff and patients (and your family) if you are going to go into nursing It's lowkey annoying 😒
Comment from : Unique Meek

$12's an hour, 12 hour shifts back to back And learning in a week to be tested the next mondayyeah not worth it plus the class bill you pay for out of check For my area anyway
Comment from : Paranoid

I could never keep up I worked as one for a few months before they fired me I don't know if it was where I worked or just I'm not built to keep up with a job like that I worked in a 52 bed nursing home I had if I remember correctly 15-20 patients to take care of
Comment from : noahmeme2

What's the best option if I want to work on health care? In looking for short time school like a year and make money
Comment from : larturors

I respect CNAs a lot, but I hated learning to become one It takes empathy, patience, hard work, and for myself I wasn’t having it When I did my clinicals, i had a bad experience with the nurses, they really didn’t want us their and it kinda sucked And as for the patients, I had some situations too where it was rough and I noticed that this wasn’t for me at all I honestly didn’t like the environment of my clinical location And even though I’m not in nursing anymore I still think their OGs for doing all they do 🙌🏽
Comment from : Carina Peña

Hi, I’m going to be a senior this year and I wouldn’t know what would be the best for me after studying my course now that I know that CNA is not very well recommended! Do you have any advice?
Comment from : Arely Zamarron

I’ve worked in healthcare for almost 4 years, and I’m now thinking of getting a CNA certificate Would my previous experience help my pay rate be higher?
Comment from : Spicynoodle

It's not the worst My SNF paid for my CNA course and in fact paid me an hourly rate while I took it I now make $20 an hour plus shift differential Good money for a nursing student Once I graduate with my BSN I could stay and easily make $40 an hour as a new grad RN
Comment from : Jacob Torris

Could a foreign nurse obtain a CNA license by transcribing her RN title, in board california or, florida ?
Comment from : Rosa America Castillo Ferrera

Comment from : kodi kodi

Been a CNA for 7 years this September My 7 year mark is 2 days after my birth on the 25th I’ve worked in Home Healthcare, Assisted Living, SNF’s, LTC/Rehab, a Hosptial, and have done agency work Now I’m in school for my LPN and plans on going for RN after I’ve had two lower back injuries because of being a CNA You have to take care of your body I’m still working as a CNA and it’s rewarding The pay is shit but my suggestion is to keep moving up that ladder
