Things you don't want to hear your Aide say

I just wish that some of my CNA's would say SOMETHING!! Plus, after all these years I can't get some of them to understand the concept of isolation. I saw two of them last week, in gowns and gloves going into a room where I knew the patient was not on isolation. I said "have you already been in an isolation room?". Well, of course the answer was yes and so there we go. And we wonder how every patient on the unit gets MRSA. Sometimes I feel like I just need to carry a shot gun to work and just say "well, you are just TSTL (too stupid to live) but of course, I just give them another lecture on why they can't be going from room to room in an isolation gown. It never ends. (It's a joke about the shot gun Ya'll).

Seriously, anything out of the ordinary with a patient and she apologizes. I told her to stop apologizing but she keeps doing it!

I think some nurse in the past must have given her a lot of crap for reporting stuff.

I had a nurse aide that wrote textbook vitals for all of her residents. Thing is, she never at least switched up the vitals. Everyone's bp would be 120/60 LOL
