A cartoon-style illustration of a young Black CNA in scrubs with multiple arms, each arm holding a different item (bedpan, towel, water cup, clipboard, call light, etc.), while looking overwhelmed. In the background, patients are waving for help and call lights are flashing. This image emphasizes the multitasking chaos of CNA life.

The Reality of CNA Multitasking

It’s like every day as a CNA, people expect us to be octopuses with eight arms or robots that never need a break. You gotta answer call lights, pass ice, change residents, feed folks, and somehow still smile through it all. But guess what? I’m human, not a damn octopus!


The Struggle of Being Short-Staffed

Every CNA knows the feeling of walking into work and finding out you’re short-staffed…again. Suddenly, you gotta do the work of three people with one person’s body. It’s a miracle we don’t collapse every shift.

How CNAs Keep It Together

Despite the madness, CNAs somehow keep it all together. We smile, we comfort patients, and we make it look easy even when we’re falling apart inside. But trust me, we’re real-life superheroes who deserve more respect and support.

Why CNAs Deserve More Respect

It’s time people recognize that CNAs do the real work of healthcare. We don’t just answer call lights; we provide comfort, dignity, and human connection. If you’re gonna respect anyone in healthcare, start with the CNAs.
