Spending time with Residents?

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

hello,

do any of you guys get to spend any time with the residents, to find out how they are feeling, a little friendly chat, a hand massage perhaps. do you ever have enough time?

i'd love to know about the little extra things we can do to let the residents know we care.:nurse:

You can talk with them while you work, most of the time, to connect, without seeming like you just go into the room to do things to them, instead of for them.

LOL...have enough time to talk with the residents...hahaha thats funny?? wait..you're not kidding?? in all seriousness tho..most of the time you don't get to have enough time to just sit and talk with them, this is very sad :( I try to come in on my days off and visit, but actually being on the job and being able to sit and talk with them..not a chance, way to busy and WAY understaffed, and I'm sure alot of people will tell you that.
