Business Outlook
Pros
As soon as I started working here, I felt much better about being a CNA. My last hospital (VM) made me feel like a worker bee. I was often talked down to and called upon to do simple tasks that anyone (especially a nurse) could perform, but because I'm a CNA, no one need be bothered with such a thing. At Swedish, you are among peers. There is a level of respect among staff here that is hard to find, you're recognized for the work you put in rather than the nature of the work you do.
Cons
We're often short staffed, at times I feel like I'm in a nursing home again. Tonight, I have 15 patients.
