Thanks for the info..i now know that the power and control of LNHA is because of the different background they have and that they dont have to be RN ...in the nursing home where i worked, LNHA is a MD in eastern country....former boss is a RN/LNHA in home health. ..so basically i learnt that any dingbat can be a LNHA....our don is a fairly new grad and hiding in her office most times and closing the blinds...the cna working there are her people from other nursing homes where she got fired.
Pt. load and no breaks.....the other day i had no lunch break and worked 2 hours extra to catch up...our census in subacute was 72 ...3 nurses..me and other new grad and slapped with admission. our social worker comes to work with a loud and aggressive dog and constantly barking and scaring the living daylights out of me. i was told by the cnas that only the social worker can bring dog to work and nobody else . i came home vomiting bile,and undigested food and massive watery diarrhea x 10 times, feeling nauseous... i called the supervisor and called in sick and told the office i quit. she said "give me x2 weeks notice" . yesterday , i came to work and still the same...no lunch break, no help,no pee break, have to do massive wound care, po medsx 35 patients , sliding scale, g feeding, bolus , nebs tx, look for o2 tank, etc. . had to stay over for free to do charting.
i ran out of paper to type in my resignation letter from home. at work, we bring our own office supplies, so i wrote my resignation letter in a scratch paper and gave it to nursing office. i said that sorry it was written in scratch but we dont have any paper available in unit. i decided to do home health for the time being...i dont want to kill myself in nursing home...i have reached my max.....i dont have any bennies and dont want to spend money to go to doctor.
THANKS guys for your kind support...michelle126 ...you make me laugh.....thanks again....
