I started my job 6 weeks ago and my 2nd day of orientation I went with another aide (we'll call her "B") who infuriated me. She charted all of her patients as "bathed" even though none of them was ever given a full bath. If she changed the patients brief or cleaned them after a BM she considered that a bath. A lot of times she charts them as "refused bath" when what the patient really said was "can we wait until after breakfast (or lunch)." Never once during that day did she put water in the wash basin and get out the wash rags. She used the disposable wipes to clean their bottoms and sprayed some deoderant and anti-microbial spray on them and that was it. And yet B always told her nurses that the patients had been bathed. Our charge nurse/PCC asked me if B had actually bathed any patients and I told her no. So the next day B said "you can work with me again today" and our charge said she wanted me with someone else. I let our charge nurse know later that that wasn't an example that I intended to follow and thanked her for not having me work with her again. Our shifts are from 630a to 7p but if something happens during the 30 minute overlap of shift change she always says it's not her responsibility and the other shift needs to take care of it. Or instead of giving the next aide report on the patients she will hand them her patient roster with notes on it and say "I'm leaving." Last weekend she left and then we found out that one of her patients (who happens to be 300+ lbs and needs 3 people just to clean up) had told her an hour earlier that he had soiled himself and needed cleaned up but she left him. So myself and the other aide who were finishing our shift helped one of the aides coming on get him cleaned up. B constantly leaves the floor without telling anyone and comes back when she wants to. Lately she's been pairing up with one of the other aides and saying "lets go see if there's anything new in the giftshop" or some other excuse to leave the floor and leave me alone.
Sunday we had all just gotten there and I heard her tell the other aide "let's just fart around today." WHAT? Besides the fact that she "farts around" every day, what kind of attitude is that to have at work? I'm so sick of it and plan to talk to either my manager or charge nurse when I go to work on Friday. I'm just wondering if it will look like I'm the new girl stirring up trouble. How should I handle it? I also know that unless she is fired or quits, having someone get on to her will not make a difference. She will still do her job the same way.
