The most recent CNA meeting I attended at work dealt with the subject of our upcoming State Survey Inspection. I'm new to this LTC facility so I don't have a clue what to expect. This happens once a year, these guys show up unannounced and follow everyone around with clipboards taking notes. They may stop an employee and ask them if they know what procedures to follow for emergencies, etc. Have any of you been through such a State Survey thingie ?? I'm told that if you make a mistake, for instance if you fail to wash your hands after caring for one resident before touching another one you will be tagged and the facility cited for it, also your name will appear in the official report. Last state inspection none of the CNA's were tagged, but one of our nurses didn't wash her hands after caring for a resident and she went down in infamy in the published report. What should I expect, and how long do these guys hang around? Thanks for any input.
