Reply to comment by merpitupmerpitout in Failing nursing homes to face tougher penalties by Thetimmybaby

It’s already very difficult to hire facility caregivers due to low pay and working conditions. CNAs in my state make only a little above minimum wage. We end up with a lot of poorly trained immigrants who struggle to communicate with the residents.

So you are saying we should exploit people's goodwill rather than fight to give these people a decent wage and work conditions?

Fucking cruel and inhuman

No. It's a job. Like any other job. Stop taking advantage of passion professions because "it's the right thing to do" - we have families. We need to pay our bills, we need insurance and PTO. Do you know how you end up with a bunch of people who don't give a shit about patients anymore? Force them to work unsafe ratios for a few weeks for shit pay.

I work in a hospital as a CNA, and your perspective is a shit take
