I was folding laundry today and went into the next room to take care of a pile of clothes. I had just gotten done washing dishes, including me & my husband's very sentimental wine glasses from our wedding. It was our anniversary yesterday, so we had gotten them out. They were well out of the way up on a shelf and my toddler was coloring at the table. I had been gone less than a minute, and when I reappeared my child was standing on the counter holding the glasses. I froze and quietly told them to hand the glasses to Mama. My toddler laughed and then threw the glasses as hard as she could. 😭

Hey! Brand new graduate CNA here. I got offered a $15 an hour full time position at an ICU. That seems abhorrently low pay. & apparently that hospital just got bought out and the floor is filled with a lot of other types of patients too, with very low acuity. They also told me the patient ratio for CNAs is 1:18, which seems crazy, is that normal?? They also said I'm needed every weekend, both Sat & Sun (my kid would need childcare those days) plus one 12 hr week shift. They also said I would be on call for the days I'm not scheduled, & I could float wherever in the hospital whenever & wherever they chose on any given day. Also no type of differential shift or extra float pay. Apparently also there is only one other full time CNA. Is this normal for healthcare? Part of me wants to run 😅
