i am an agency lpn who works many shifts in a local ltc that is associated with a religious denomination.
the quality of many of their staff cna's leaves a lot to be desired. attitudes, poor care and staff who simply are not to be found when callbells are ringing and alarms sounding...
in the past 3 months or so, i have personally written up 3 for talking back to me or refusing to do what was requested of them
yesterday, one who i have already written up, and who has been written up by several other charge nurses, mouthed off to the other cn on my floor and when confronted, threw her badge at her, and walked out.
i do not feel that i am unreasonable.... all i ask is that they do their job, to the best of their ability, and to do it with kindness and compassion and with the realization that that person in the bed could be their mom or other loved one (or god forbid.... them one day)
how do theses people get hired in the first place???
