Its a LOT OF WORK!!! Where I work we use point care click, the CMT does all the charting, orders meds, if there is an incident such as a fall they put in the 72 hr. Post follow up or any new orders or changes. You talk to the doctor, family members. Your doing everything!!! Also supervising your unit, at the end of each cycle the cart has to be changed out and new cassettes placed. If someone falls your doing the assessment, faxing paperwork to doctors, printing out face sheets for EMT, calling family ( which is a trip sometimes) then if they refuse to send mom or dad out you gotta get them to come in and fill out the paperwork for that. It's so many different forms. We do insulin, sliding scales which are tricky, also wound care. It's a lot of work!!!! and paperwork. We don't get pulled to the floor. We can volunteer to work on our day off but this facility does not ( so far) try to get 2 for the price of one.

Thank you SO MUCH for this video!!!!! Very informative!!

Glad to see you back😊😊😊

Hi! I'm a new sub as of tonight. I came here for some tips and help. I am currently in SC working at a assisted living senior facility and I started out as a resident assistant. Aka CNA without the title. I was formerly a CNA in the state of NC but they expired and I went on to do other things for a while. Now it's been some years and I decided to get back in this field again. Nothing leaves your mind even if you haven't done it in a while. You will get back into the groove like I did. I thank God 🙏 I was formerly a CNA because it makes the job alot easier as far as knowing what to do and how to handle residents/patients. It is also a job many want as the title but the work is serious!!!! I am in the process of actually re training myself and searching helpful things to help myself along the way. I am in training right now for med tech and the way that it is going I feel is so out of place but I'm doing it to also challenge myself and to see if I can do this. Typically the place I work for is supposed to have a *class. A 5 hour class I've heard about. They send a licensed pharmacist to come out to teach the class supposedly but I've not yet seen that happen but they have more than plenty that want to sign up to be a med tech and everyone is just wondering when the class is. Now the situation I am in is that they need help really bad so they have me training alongside some other ladies I work with to learn. The problem is everyone is not happy when it comes to training. First of all they many not be trainer material. Which in my situation is the case. I don't think the people I work with are happy at the job itself altogether. So it's been difficult but I have been sticking in there because I want the position. It's a position I feel like I was blessed to have and honored to have because we have some pretty bad ones around. Almost everyone is so unhappy where I work at but I love the job. I love my residents and I'm praying I can work it out. Also my trainers are doing the thing where they want to show you what they want you to know but really not what you supposed to know. So I'm taking notes. Period ... 🔥🔥 I am not trying to get ahead of anyone nor compete but in this business there's some bull headed people. All I can think about is trying to help the actual people in need of help which is the residents. They get done so wrong and I try to give all the love I can. Those folks paying out of the ass for live in these type places. They should get all the care and love they can. My heart is in it. Truthfully. You don't have alot of people that enjoy it because of the treatment as far as pay and sometimes you can be targeted racially. It's so many things I can list but I will let you all know how it is going. Ps they have been joking at my job calling the position a C.D.D. certified drug dealer. 😭😭😭 I thought that was pretty hilarious 💯🙏 anyway I am looking at vids to help me and studying books and taking notes cause it appears to be that I am on my own on this. I am even going to go purchase my own everything as far as temperature 🌡️ thermometer a blood pressure cuff a stethoscope and all that because the carts are always missing that and I have to take blood pressures and etc. Thanks for the vid ❤️ speaking on it 🔥❤️❤️❤️ take care much ❤️from the Carolinas.

I got funded through Path for Success in Alabama. I'm starting orientation tomorrow. Wish me the best!!! So excited!!

Your baby is so cute!! Thanks for the video I have thought about going to get certified but work for residential setting with adults with disabilities, direct care, not really a Cna and not getting paid much after 30 years in field, crossed trained several houses to get hours, getting tired and burned out. thanks for explaining pros and cons!

Thank you for sharing nurse B.

I just got a med tech job at a assisted living and memory care facility and it’s so understaffed it’s ridiculous, there’s 1 caregiver for am and pm and am med tech which is me and they expect me to pass meds to 80 residents in one hour on my second day. Everyone is super unhappy and burnt out.

Hi, I would look at that your state requires. Most CMT programs in my area (Missouri) require you you be a CNA for at least 6 months. I don’t think the test or class is that difficult, but of course it all depends on your educational background and how you are with exams and what not. Really I say just go for it, do your best and make it happen. I understand being nervous but the only way to see what it’s about is to just get into a class and get started. Good luck with everything

Go for it, most states want you to be a CNA for about 6 months before you become a CMT.

Cmts make about the same amount of money as a nurse aide it would be better to go for your lpn you will make more and in some states you can go to lpn school for 9mths but most lpns schools are 1yr and there's finacial aide for lpn school lots of jobs for lpn

No, in a nursing home setting therapist come to their patients and do therapy in their room, common areas or in the therapy gym

From what I’ve seen mostly LTC, I’ve also seen them in assisted living facilities.

Ok I like the yellow on top of yo eyelids.

I decided I dont want to do this and just stick to cares, this would be a bit overwhelming for me.

Just like anything it can be hard to do in the beginning but once you get your flow it’s a lot easier. When I filmed this I didn’t have a lot of experience passing meds but now I pass meds and act as the nurse, it def can get overwhelming but I’ve gotten better at it

So do you have to be a nurse to have Cmt?

No you don't have to be a nurse to be a medication technician. In some states you are required to be a CNA first though before getting your med tech certification. In my state its called a medication technician in some other states its called certified medication technician or certified medication aide. Its the same thing though.

Looking for a job

Baby is so cute.

There’s more to it than just passing pills. Med errors

Sounds like a hard job.
