TOP LEAST STRESSFUL CNA JOBS- 10 High Paying & Minimal Stress Places to Work

Enjoy the video? ☺️

I currently work in the heart and stroke unit as a CNA in the hospital. I took the position thinking it’d be more manageable then my last rehab facility. Boy was I wrong! I have 18 patients and have to do vitals 3x a shift. That’s 54 total. On top of calls lights, assisting and then my totals. I’m going to join an agency soon. The hospital is going to make me a patient soon lol.

I went to CNA school. I'm currently working as a home health aide. 1 on 1 works best for me. I don't like working at facilities, nursing homes, hospitals. I prefer to work with the client alone in his or her home. I really don't like when family is in the home. I love 1 on 1s it's less stressful You don't have to deal with many interactions.

Yep 100% right about hospitals providing extra education & certifications! I actually never thought about becoming a CNA until I was offered to take a CNA certification course (for FREE!) at the hospital I was volunteering at in college!

I was in nursing home with 12 residents it’s was a hell . Now I’m working in a home health care with one client . I’m feel very good with the same paycheck 😜

Yeah most of your residents are sleeping at night in a nursing home, but you will have to do rounds several times a night. Most if not all off your residents are incontinent and need frequent incontinent care. You will have 20 plus residents that need to be cleaned during the night. Your residents are heavy or immobile. You will have to put people to bed that the the afternoon shift didn't put to bed for you. You will be short staffed and have a neverending amount of work.

High Bun! I became a CNA in December of 2021 and now work in a nursing home. The things that come with that stress me out (staff, pay etc), but I love love love taking care of people, and the residents that have forgotten their families, remember me, and that's special to me. Makes it all worth it 👌🏿

I'm sorry the hospital is the most stressful EVER!!!!!! As a former CNA at a hospital and I cried in my car days and days coming in! The RN's are bullies and you don't exist to Dr's or RT ! The rules are stressful if you just want to work and go home NOT possible you will get stuck on MANDATORY meetings after a 12 hour shift! AND IF YOU HAVE KIDS PLEASE NEGLECT THEM AS THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY LIFE AND ONLY THING COMES FIRST IS PATIENT CARE- according to my past employer !

Can you talk about how fast foods like wendys bk etc are all paying $15 starting with no degree or certification which makes me think that if your certified as cna or any other study or certification your pay rate should not be $15 starting and should be more since fast food is paying such without any studies.

I always say that CNA’s make the best nurses! I was a CNA, ER Tech then became a RN! Great video to make people aware of getting a CNA certification! ☺️ Being a CNA is hard work seriously and we love our CNA’s! ❤️

In my hospital they will help you get your phlebotomy certification so you can work other places

As a cna that is now in a hospital and started off at a nursing home DO NOT START OFF THERE IT MADE ME BURNOUT OF ADULTS start off by becoming a sitter you WILL still get the same experience with more downtime and less body stress and mental and emotional stress nursing and CNA are very different which is why she didn’t mind the nursing home

High buns lol but I must tell you that being a CNA at a nursing home is stressful especially on night shift. Most of our residents with dementia stay up for nights at a time and we don't get the respect that we deserve especially when we basically know them like family. No one in the whole facility actually knows the residents like CNAs do. I worked that position for almost 2 years and I love my job and my residents still but I wouldn't recommend it unless it's your calling

Night Shift isn’t easy at nursing homes. People stay on the call lights all night, more patients than all shifts, and short staffed. I think people thinking about working in healthcare should work in a hospital first. You learn more and can do more things than the nursing home like EKG’s, blood draws, etc.

I work as a home health aide I have my CNA and I love the flexibility and just working with one patient yep. I really dislike working in the Nursing home. I don’t see myself working in a nursing home when I become a nurse. I’m thinking about home health pediatrics or the elderly.

Im going to become a cna in order to save (while i still live with my parents, im 16) to go to a accelerated ADN program to become a RN. Then im going to do RN-BSN while still saving (im not spending my money on nothing but bills 😂). After that i was thinking about becoming a travel nurse. i cant wait to see what my future holds.

Nursing home is a no no

I worked in a hospital as a pct under my cna. During pandemic it was starting to calm down. I drew blood did ekgs and checked sugars and reported the levels to the nurse. The hospital trained us to do phlebotomy my trainer taught me hands on she as a good trainer. We had to get 15 successful sticks and 5 successful ekgs to get off of orientation. I was in the pool full time I worked all over icu psych detox telemetry med/surg and more. Now I just got hired as pct at a drug and alcohol rehab . Ik it’s gonna be tough working with people that have an addiction. I also have done agency and nursing home on staff. I’ve never did an adult daycare before or home health or hospice

Low paying job that you have to work angles to bump up the pay . Run off your feet, treated badly by the nurses, patients, and patients families. Your main job is to toilet the patient, change their diaper, clean them, make sure they are fed throughout your shift and continually run to answer their call lights for anything and everything. Usually caring for 12 patients at a time. You can make similar money in retail.

nursing homes do not pay CNAs what they are worth. you can learn skills but just know the pay is very low
