Charge nurses double standards

Any nursing home CNA should know this after year one. You cannot warm up to your charge nurse, you know the one that walks up and down the hall and yells your name? She already has a favorite often filthy or lazy, refuse to answer her call lights while she is charting or enjoying the down time after sloppily finishing her group.whenever they work your bitter ***** of a nurse can crack a smile. Not all nurses have a pet, but the ones that do let them so what ever they please. Yells at you for putting a clean glove on in the hall to pick up drop food but let's her filthy cna walk down the hall with a dirty diaper and a soiled chuck without a bag to the soils linen . he has brown stains on his gloves and touches the door handle. Or does rounds and gos from room to room with the same gloves. After his germ spreading is complete he will hide in a patients room and only creep out to answer lights. At least he does his work. Even if you feel iike a shower just watching him.the other one talks crass with the patients and is always telling them she is too busy. She joins you at the station and the room she just walked out of lights up. Time passes and she is looked at magazines from aroundnothing, cility. The nurse says nothing, you start getting nervous after 10 minutes and notice the lay one has disappeared, to get the light? Nope she would have answered it by now. The DON show up out of nowhere and the charge nurse wants you to get it. Mr smith wants to get ready for bed, sit on the toilet ( fall risk you have to watch,) brush his teeth and get in bed. You come back to the station and your lazy coworker tells you she is going on her break. That kind of stuff was normal part of my day . I wanted to hear other double standards. What did your charge nurse let her favorite CNA do or not do?

Reported this before. Seems to be proliferating.

You are posting multiple threads complaining about NURSES on a NURSING website. What's not to take personally?
It's probably a Student Doctor Network troll pretending to be a CNA who wants us to take it personal while he and his pathetic buddies kick back and laugh. Don't feed it.

I had emt-p list after my name in a post in the emergency specialty forum. It went away after I changed my settings to take credentials off. Then I put them back on.
