The Shift from Lazy to “In Charge”
Before they became a nurse, they were the CNA who never answered a call light and conveniently disappeared when a resident was on the floor.
Now? They stand at the nurse’s station, arms crossed, talking about how CNAs “need to be accountable.”
✔️ They refuse to help turn a resident.
✔️ They won’t answer a call light (because ‘that’s CNA work’).
✔️ They act like they don’t know how heavy the workload is.
Like, sis… weren’t you just clocking in and vanishing last year?! 🤨
The Power Trip Begins…
Now that they’re a nurse, they gotta prove they’re in charge. They start giving out attitudes, unrealistic expectations, and lectures on work ethic.
But the real gag? They still:
✔️ Take long-ass breaks.
✔️ Find a way to avoid hard work.
✔️ Stand around, watching CNAs drown.
They didn’t actually change—they just got a title to justify their laziness.
Acting Brand New… Until They Need Help
Oh, but when they’re drowning in meds, assessments, and charting? Suddenly, they remember CNAs exist.
💬 “Can you grab vitals real quick?”
💬 “Can you check on Room 308 while I finish charting?”
💬 “Hey, I know you’re busy, but can you help me real fast?”
OH! So now you need teamwork?! Now CNAs matter?! How convenient.
I Worked Hard for This” – But You Didn’t Work as a CNA!
Listen, respect to every CNA who goes to nursing school—it’s not easy. But just because you made it out doesn’t mean you should forget where you came from.
💡 The best nurses are the ones who REMEMBER the struggle.
💡 The worst ones are the ones who pretend they never lived it.
You don’t get more respect by looking down on CNAs—you get it by lifting them up.
