They mostly in it for the money it’s a small amount of performative stuff. The appreciations nice but ☠️ if they were in it for the praise they’d be a CNA or something small that didn’t make as much.

Nurses are overpaid and overpraised and I work with them everyday and I do like a lot of them but most of them just are glorified med techs

Everyone in my program and everyone I’ve met so far in nursing has actually been lovely though 😕 so I was sad to see the stereotype fulfilled

Nurses are not glorified med techs at all nor are most of us doing for the “glory” of it lmao. CNAs get significantly less praise than nurses anyway so that doesn’t rlly prove your point. We also do not make a lot of money

It seems like you maybe work in a nursing home facility? Which of course the nurses there have a different role than 90% of nurses… I’m sure you know that. No need to diss nurses

The actual work is incredibly difficult. I was in the hospital today and watched my nurses get yelled at all day long. While they’re just trying their damn best. They’re on their feet all day long, trying to get everything their patients need. Where in the world do you work that nurses just give out Tylenol

Never said it was lol. You need to stop normalizing all this shit. It is incredibly hard and they aren’t glorified med techs in the slightest. There is a reason most hospitals now require a four year degree

Most of the time the nurses pawn off or delegate the tasks they’re supposed to do to the CNAs like oxygen or blood sugars or colostomy’s like half the battle and then assist them (as our job) to pack wounds while they mostly overlook the vitals we took while faxing documents and providing medication

It sounds like your facility is wildly understaffed and giving roles to you that are not in your scope of practice. Sorry that’s happening to you but that’s not at all how it works the majority of the time. Most of the hospital floors in my area don’t even employ CNAs

It depends on the facility and also the state regulations it varies on what a nurse is allowed to delegate

I also think when you get into nursing school you’ll realize how different the education is and that they are treated very differently than med techs for a reason

1

Anonymous OP 14w

I’ve heard from BSN RNs that med teaching is essentially the same as LVN and LVN II is just more education. There is more education than being a med tech and Ik that but if LVNs just work at a SNF/Ltc They don’t have the same SOP as an RN but once you get the bridge you don’t do much else besides IVs

So you’re saying you’ve never done anything illegal in ur facility? I have no clue where a CNA helping with a wound would be legal. We don’t even clean wounds anymore in the hospital in my state. Goes straight to a wound care nurse

Anonymous OP 14w

Bro. The CNAs assist the nurses. I help hold the resident and pass the medical supplies and also help clean the patient at the same time while they pack the wound

Anonymous OP 14w

I def do agree that the education isn’t wildly different with ADN/BSN but med tech and nursing are wildly different. LVN and RN can also basically serve the same role in many areas but there are millions of jobs that will not hire a LVN

Anonymous OP 14w

They basically do the same tho and I’ve had nurses tell me that 😭 when I was a med tech the only thing I had to report to the nurse for was asking her to contact the doctors for refills on narcotics and alerting her with Skin Alerts or CoC everything else was done in the med room by me and other med techs like pharmacy and refills and contacting families and even hospice agencies

Yea thats all they really have CNAs in hospitals for anymore. But even in most hospitals they are gonna avoid hiring even someone with an ADN (I don’t necessarily agree w that). It’s proven that BSN programs give better patient outcomes

LTC is a whole different realm and even medsurg in a hospital isn’t nearly a nurses full scope. Look at any other setting and u will see why I’m defending so hard
