Does your DON want you to do skin checks on night shift?

[Blackcat99]

We got a new DON. The residents are mad because they are now being awakened on night shift to have skin checks done. I am tired of the residents always getting upset and angry with me for waking them up at night. I know if I were a resident and a nurse awakened me at night for a skin check I would be angry too.

Skin checks are done on 3-11 at my facility. I work days but the 3-11 Nurses say they go in when the CNAs are putting the residents to bed. I don't see why it needs to be done on overnights... I've worked that shift before and I can't imagine doing skin checks too, plus they need to sleep!!
