Thank you for pointing this out. The reason CNA's call in a lot is for one, they don't make any money. It is a dead end job because if you want promotion you have to have time and money to go to school for at least a couple of years. Also a lot of CNA's go into the field thinking that they are actually going to take care of the elderly or the sick. They start work and find out that they don't really have very much time to take good care of the residents, they are short staffed half of the time anyway because the less money spent means a bonus for the administrator, they are constantly on the go while everyone else in the building is basically sitting down and it gets to feel like your soul purpose for being there is to wipe s.... The way these jobs are set up need to change. For one thing any other job that requires you to work with human bodily waist pays quite well and usually offers a good benifit package. Not cna jobs however. These jobs are probably the closest thing to slave labor there is in America. Not only this CNA's have to put up with the emotional problems of the nurses when they decide they are having a bad day and need to take it out on someone. It is a cr.. job that some are stuck into. Most facilities will not even celebrate the CNA holiday but, they will for the nurses. That is like a slap in the face when the CNA's are doing the majority of the one on one care of the residents.
