Certified Nurse Assistant: Challenges and Competencies

Have you ever wondered what it's like to work as a Certified Nursing Assistant? As a CNA, you take on a demanding but rewarding role in healthcare - providing daily assistance and care to patients in medical settings. CNAs are often referred to as the "eyes and ears" of patient care, monitoring and reporting on patient condition to nurses. It's a job that requires dedication, empathy, attention to detail, and physical and emotional stamina.

I have deep admiration for the work that CNAs do. My goal with this blog is to provide some insight into both the challenges and competencies that are part of the CNA job. CNAs positively impact patients' lives, but the work also comes with difficulties that require resilience. By understanding the trials and growth opportunities of the role, my hope is that we better support these critical frontline healthcare workers.

The import of this piece is that CNAs face a variety of emotional and physical challenges, but build critical communication and patient care competencies by virtue of their role's demands. Let's explore what that looks like on a day-to-day basis for CNAs working in hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.

Emotional and Physical Challenges The responsibilities of a CNA are both physically and emotionally taxing. CNAs spend the majority of their days on their feet assisting patients with needs like bathing, dressing, using the restroom, and eating. The physical nature of the job alone can lead to back injuries, bodily strains, and exhaustion over time. Prolonged standing, frequent bending and lifting, and assisting immobile patients weighs heavily day after day.

In addition to physical demands, CNAs regularly encounter emotional challenges that impact mental resilience. CNAs often work closely with both patients and families, listening to their fears and anxieties and providing comfort through difficult health situations or end-of-life care. The bonds that CNAs form make losing patients agonizing at times. Dealing with combative or uncooperative patients also adds stress to an already grueling job.

Managing workplace injuries, infectious diseases, and the risk of workplace violence compounds the strain. In a single shift, CNAs can experience moments of fulfillment, grief, frustration, and fatigue in varying measure. For some, the empathetic nature of the work follows them home impacting mental health over the long run. The attrition rate for CNAs is high, signaling that the role's challenges drive many from the field. However, for those CNAs who can cultivate resilience and coping strategies, the positive of impacting patients' lives outweighs the hardships.

Building Communication Competencies While the daily challenges are intensive for CNAs, the role also equips incumbents to build vital interpersonal and communication capacities. Because CNAs spend so much direct time with patients, they require excellent communication abilities to provide quality care.

CNAs have to connect with patients from a wide range of backgrounds and temperaments each day. Finding common ground, listening actively, and exhibiting empathy and patience enables CNAs to understand patient needs and preferences. Cultural competency is key – respecting diversity and overcoming language barriers allows CNAs to make patients comfortable. These “soft skills” have a very tangible impact on patient health outcomes and satisfaction.

In addition to patient interactions, CNAs collaborate closely with nursing staff and doctors. Learning how to communicate updates about patient condition clearly to medical teams is extremely important. CNAs are the “eyes and ears” catching changes that might require intervention. CNAs also develop communication techniques for diffusing escalated situations whether with distressed patients and family members or confronting workplace violence risks.

The verbal and non-verbal communication fundamentals that CNAs hone through unrelenting on-the-job exposure makes them incredible assets to healthcare teams. Those who leverage these experiences can pursue advancement opportunities in healthcare education, specialized care, or nursing. For those CNAs who devote their career to frontline care, communication talents likely become second nature – when developed intentionally, these are life-long skills. For example, highlighting communication and patient care competencies developed as a CNA on your resume is crucial when applying for nursing roles or advancement opportunities. Using a Certified Nurse Assistant resume example as a template can help tailor your experience to each application.

Developing Patient Care Competencies While communicating effectively is critical for CNAs, having the hands-on patient care skills and knowledge elevates them to trusted caregivers. Some patient care competencies come from formal CNA training programs and getting certified. But much of the capacity CNAs gain for delivering compassionate, detailed, responsive care stems from on-the-job exposure.

Learning how to accurately track and document vital signs, properly move immobile patients, and execute infection control best practices keeps patients safe. These base-level abilities expand both in nuance and speed with repetition. CNAs also become incredibly attuned to deviations from patients’ normal state which prompts crucial check-ins. Noticing sudden cognitive changes, swelling, rashes, and other warning signs for broader underlying issues makes CNAs invaluable patient advocates.

Equipped with patient care know-how and honed perceptivity, CNAs provide both clinical and emotional support during scary or difficult health situations. Getting the chance to stabilize and reassure patients in moments of crisis builds confidence. CNAs start to recognize how their care, while assisting other providers, tangibly impacts health outcomes. It’s through these real-life moments that seasoned medical judgement and skill grow - largely unique to the CNA experience.

Conclusion CNAs undoubtedly shoulder immense challenges - physical exhaustion, emotional tolls, workplace hazards are daily struggles. However, CNAs also gain hard-won competencies by confronting these realities head-on. Communication abilities are honed through relentless patient interactions and stabilization of tense situations. Patient care capacities evolve from having to fluidly make critical decisions the longer they’re in the field.

While the attrition rate highlights why many don’t continue down the career path, CNAs are the backbone of effective healthcare delivery. They make profound differences in the lives of patients and families during intensely vulnerable moments. Beyond just doing the job, CNAs choose compassion - listening, comforting, advising and reassuring even when it takes a personal toll.

My immense respect goes out to all the dedicated CNAs who put aside their own trials for the betterment of those in their care. My hope is that by acknowledging the challenges and sketching the growth opportunities, people gain some insight into this demanding but meaningful work. If this piece makes even one person reconsider interactions with a CNA, choose to better support CNA staff, or pursue the role themselves - then setting sights on understanding this vantage point offered value.

I like to headcanon that it was his job to take care of the bathroom fish tank

something something johnny being a giant showoff (nsfw, 18+)

will come home all sweaty from the gym, the length of his mohawk stuck to his forehead. he doesn’t hit the showers first, though. no, he comes straight to you and shoves his fat fucking bicep in your face. “hit a new PR today, bonnie. like wha’ ya see?”

tells you all about the shit he blows up on missions. he doesn’t really care if it’s all super classified and everything, he wants you to know just how impressive your man is. gotta make sure you know you’ve got a capable defender. always makes himself sound like james bloody bond. “ya shoulda seen it! got there right in the nick o’ time, i did! and then, kaboom!”

milks as many orgasms as he can from you when you fuck. he’s not satisfied until you’ve cum on everything he can give you. tongue, fingers, cock. he wants it all, wants you to be drunk off the pleasure only he can give you. licks the tears from your cheeks when you cry from overstimulation. “i know, lass, i know. johnny’s makin’ you feel so good, aye? you got one more in there, i know you do.”

loves to hear you babble about how big and thick he is when he’s plunging deep in your cunt. he hits all the right spots, tip nudging your cervix and making your back arch. he almost loses it when you tell him how much he’s stretching you out, how you can feel him low in your belly, carving himself a nice little space in your guts. “yeah, tha’s fuckin’ right. no one else can make you feel this good, no one else can fill up this tight fuckin’ pussy like i can.”

and you let him fill you up because you know, deep down, no one will ever compare to your johnny.

Alfred gains an unique apprentice after his arm got fractured.

Most of the batfam has been causing a ruckus in the Wayne Manor for the past 4 months that even Alfred was feeling a bit worn out.

To the point that his personal favorite market friends suggest getting a trainee, or a ward to help him out epecially because Alfred isn't getting any younger, no matter how well he took care of his own health.

Helda got herself a ward herself, a sweet little girl, name Ellen who help her keep the lil Duckling candles shop in order especially after her hip surgery went through, and will be taking over for her considering helda had no descendents, but Ellen make her feel young again.

Alfred merely delined, but ended up getting the card still by persistented friends. A card with a purple GrandFather clock symbol and a number on it. He left it in his draw as he was not rude enough to throw away.

Then came the prank war 13 on June 15th in the Wayne Manor that Alfred accidentally ended up being targeted by pure coincidence which ended with him with a fractured arm..

Both Bruce and Alfred was majorly disappointed with how far escalated the prank war went that got immediately stop when the batfam saw Alfred gotten injured during it.

Except now Alfred is stuck for 6-10 weeks without using his right arm until his personal doctor said it ok to take the cast off then have a arm sling..

Alfred was immensely stubborn for 3 days, 3 days of trying to do all his duties.. before he gave in..

And called the number on the card, and received a lovely blue letter with a couple of oddly specific paperwork on a type of help he need, what is your age, your job occupied, have any illness or arthritis, needs in case of meta or superpower sudden surprises appear, how dangerous is your and your family lifestyle, etc

By the time he finished the paperwork and hand it sent back in the return blue letter. It was by day 5 on a Friday when he received a letter back, stating that that a ward been selected and will be coming from Amity Park to help him.

Alfred was expected a teenager, but a 7 year old boy with blaring light blue eyes, starlight like freckles, black hair with a medium space designed suitcase and a very old and worn out bearbert plush on top of it.

"Good morning, You must be Mr. Pennyworth, and I'm Danny." Danny beamed a soft smile with the eyes of wisdom and understanding. Alfred pause for a mere second before a soft smile bloomed and open the door wide for him.

"Hello there Danny, do come in. Alfred said softly as he watch danny a bit with curiosity.

Would you like a snack before we start the day?" Alfred ask as he escorted danny to the kitchen to help him with today breakfast along with a list of the breakfast dishes with ingredients.

"That ok, what would you like to help you do, cut the vegetables, stir the pot, help lift the food into the oven, or clean the dishes, because you aren't going to try and do that all with a broken arm, right?" Danny said as he look at today breakfast list, going to the sink and cleaning his hand thoroughly first before touching any fresh ingredients already put out while Alfred pick the frying pans, cups, dishes and utensils for the batfam.

Alfred notice right away that danny was floating a bit to pick the heavy large pot full of marinated food from the fridge that was supposed to be on the stove for slow brothing for later today dinner, considering alfred couldn't well take it out himself since his arm was broken..

Smiling softly to himself that it was a good idea to have a ward of his own as he teaches danny the best techniques to make a Benedict.

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, after years of active duty, has no idea how to court a woman normally.

Does recon (*cough* stalking *cough*) at his new date’s place sound normal - taking note of your daily routine, watching you go through mundane chores in skimpy little t-shirts that barely covers your ass as you bend over to take out the laundry from the washer and watching you enjoy a cup of earl grey (a woman after his heart, he says) normal? No, it isn’t.

But, is it normal for your date to come into your apartment when you call to take a rain-check on your date because your bathroom pipes burst open at the worst possible time and you need a plumber to help you stop them or you’d run out if water, only for Simon to offer his help and fix it, discarding his plaid shirt and distracting you with his biceps in that good-for-nothing wife-beater he has on (the one that makes you almost clutch your pendant in comfort as you try to call for takeout as you don’t try to fantasize about his big, muscly arms to have you in a headlock as he fucks you dumb)? Also, not normal.

But, Simon is not exactly a conventional man and after he fixes your pipes, being normal is quite possibly the last thing in his mind as he makes you cum on his thick cock for the third time in an hour, his fingers rubbing at your clit as you bite the pillow and make your back arch in a way that makes your ass grind against his pelvis and he cannot resist the urge to give it a good smack, laughing throatily as he hears your muffled whine at the sting.

Point to be made, nothing has exactly been normal when it comes to Simon. But that’s fine, he can make do with that - or so he believes as he sees you demolish the already cold takeout you both had neglected earlier for your lovemaking. Now, he has a date to plan for as he slowly enjoys the cold noodles from the takeout box and watches the shitty tele with you.

I'm just imagining Price walking up to the front door of your job in a full suit.

He's agitated and checking his watch as he starts asking your coworkers where your boss is. They think he's an angry client but he softens when he finally sees you. You hug him, tell him you'll be ready in a minute before running to go retrieve your bag.

You pack up as many of your personal belongings as possible. Your boss takes you to the side with faux concern and annoyance in their tone. They want to know why this (handsome) "mystery man" is here for you.

"I just won the lottery." You smile at your boss, patting them on the shoulder before you walk towards Price.

You wave to all of your coworkers as you leave the building for the final time.

"I quit!"

Congrats GYX on the gay awakening <3 (Immortal alliance conference pt.1) (Next)

[ID: A Scum Villain Comic. Panel one first depicts Chibi!Plant Yuan sitting on a bench resting his head on his hands with a disgruntled look. A caption says "Waiting for Binghe to register as SQQ banned SY from participating due to 'past incidents'" His demonic butterfly floats in front of him. A voice from off-camera says "Shen-Gongzi?" a zoomed in Chibi!PY perks up in surprise and his butterfly hides. A non-chibi Gongyi Xiao is shown with has hands cupped in a martial salute and bright expression saying, "You're Peak Lord Shen's son right? This one is Gongyi Xiao from Huan Hua." A chibi PY in a box in the corner continues to look up in surprise with his hands slightly lifted from his face with thought bubbles saying 'Woah..so bright.. Kinda reminds me of Binghe.'

Panel two depicts a non-Chibi! PY looking up with a gentle smile with his hands in his lap, replying "Yes, this one is Shen Yuan! Are you here to participate in the Conference?" The rest of this panel is depicted in chibi form. GYX sits next to SY and responds, "This one is! Is Shen-Gongzi not?" to which SY closes his eyes with a disgruntled/tired look and places his head back in his hands, stating "My A-Die banned me. Said this one attracts too much demonic attention..." to which GYX points and says "Oh? Is that why you have that demonic butterfly?" Leading SY to have a panicked look, his thought bubble saying "Shit" whilst he verbally says "Please don't tell my A-Die I brought her."

The final panel has chibi!GYX raising his hands up to placate SY with an amused nervous expression saying "Don't worry! This one won't. It seems very friendly, with you especially." To which non-chibi!SY, now having his butterfly balanced on one of his hands, the other raised up as if to gently pet it, looks down fondly and says "Yes she is... She's been with me a long time." A very flustered Chibi!GYX replies softly "oh". End ID]

i need simon riley with a 9-5 f!reader. she’s dreams of owning a coffee shop or writing a book but something has to pay the bills and the corporate lifestyle is reliable.

what’s even more reliable is a hulking military man in front of your office building at your every lunch break, already having claimed a table at the outdoor seats. or this masked figure of destruction buying you a standing desk when you work from home, peeking in during calls to make sure you’re using it (since you always complain about your back aching). he knows you dream of that life in a bookstore, you know he can give it to you, but you both know you’re too set in your independence to let him. and for now, he’ll just make do, bookmarking ads of at-home walking pads and better laptop speakers.

can you tell i fantasize about this during my corporate job.
