State Tested Nurses Aide (STNA) Reviews

STNA.. Don't do it!
State Tested Nurses Aide (STNA) in Warren:
Pros: The smile you get from a demented resident when you smile at them and just say something as simple as, "hello!"
Cons: Understaffed, overworked. Don't get payed enough. Nobody within corporate cares about these residents. All they care about is money money money. When you are one person and you have to take care of 25 people for 12 hours, it tends to get overehelming. Burnout is very easy to attain working as an aide. I do not get payed enough for the amount of work I'm expected to do.

State Tested Nurses Aide (STNA) in Akron:
Be compassionate and have a lot of patients, also be considered of the fact that you're taken care of an elderly individual who probably had not been around there family. So, the person maybe depressed and lonely. And might have a lot of health issues.

It is very stresssful and rewarding.
State Tested Nurses Aide (STNA):
Work smart not hard. Don't do anything you don't feel comfortable with. Some patients can be combative and it goes with the job.

March 2015
State Tested Nurses Aide (STNA):
Pros: I love caring for my residents, I like making them smile and feel happy even though they dont get to go home or when they miss their families. I love caring for people in general I always have. Even if its something as small as remembering how they take their coffee in the morning or fixing their hair up for them and getting them in some of their nicest clothes to help them feel nice even if all they are doing is going to a game of bingo. I love sitting down and talking to them about what they did back when they were younger, and getting that hug or kiss on the forehead because they appreciate the care that you give them.
Cons: The things I dislike about my job as an aide is the constant shortness of staff, I feel its not fair to the aides like my self that show up to work on time every day and always show up to work to have to have 16 or 17 people in our care because I feel I cant give the adiquete amount of care that I wold like to give to my residents along with the amount of care that I feel they deserve. And the strain on the body is crazy hard, its hard to find a nurse that doesnt feel like theyre to good to be able to help an aide, even with something as simple as a trasnsfer.
