When nurses dont listen to what you have to say,even when important. Aids who do nothing but complain, and people who dont give proper mouth care..yuck so much more, such little energy right now.

How about patients who are ABLE to use a bedpan (in the hospital setting), but are too lazy, and s*** the bed instead??

That really fries me..

Ok, thanks for listening

Oh I feel you on that one. I have several residents like that. One of them told me that I get paid to clean her up so why should she help ME out by using the bedpan!

Oh yes I love that. You don't bend over upside down and backwards to accommodate their every ridiculous whim (because you have 10 other people to take care of too), and they tell you that you have to dote on them because "my money pays for your salary."

Well okay then. I just spent an hour in here with you while all my other people marinated in their own urine... give me my measly 13 bucks and shove it!

How bout the residents who think they are the only person on the hall so you should drop everything and come running as soon as the call light goes on.
And then when it takes like 10 minutes for you to answer their light they tell you it's been on for over an hour when you get there!

I also get so mad at the families that come when trays are out and keep asking us to do crazy stuff.
"Mother needs laid down, and changed, and clean her teeth while you're in there, and give her a massage, and go get her an extra quilt, and I need a glass of Evian water, and her roomate is looking at me funny so you should put her in the hall....and Hey are you listening to me! I pay your salary!!!"
Seriously. Go home!!!!

I can't stand that!!! It bothers me so much when families act snotty or disrespectful to the roommate. I just want to smack them.

Me to. I mean, why is your family so much better than the roomate?? It's really bad when the families of roomates don't get along!

A co-worker (fellow CNA) who is ten years younger than I and thinks she can tell me what to do. She learned not to do it again after her second mistake.

Plus, her whole life is nothing but manufactured drama, it's like all she knows how to do is b*tch and moan. I wish to God that just one day, she would shut the h*ll up.

I always wash him early but don't put him to bed till 10pm (our last rounds) after one final trip to the bathroom, and he was dry so I left the brief on him. He's always playing with himself down there so he must have taken it out and peed.

They always get ***** if someone is wet when they come in. When WE come in, people are wet from first shift and no one makes a big deal about it because INCONTINENT PEOPLE DON'T PEE ON A SCHEDULE! I'm sick of reporting off to these unpleasant aides and their bad attitudes.
I swear people just always shift blame on others. When I did LTC on several occasions their brief was dry and the PAD WAS WET! What sometimes happens is that if it's a male, then his penis sometimes rolls out of the bottom of the brief and that's how it gets wet but the brief stays dry. It happens all the time especially if they squirm on a regular basis. Nothing you did was wrong.
