   I should have told someone but I am afraid of what they might do to me, Yeah look what they did to me. But you think the Board of Nursing knows this goes on and sees it all the time?

   The of these young aids have a small child at home, her man left her, no child support, just plain miserable young girls. This was an easy job for them to get into I agree. They have no life experience. They talk of becoming nursing OMG please help. ...

   they are investigating a wet bed and that I spilled urine on the bed and left it for the 7-3 aid to clean it up. How absurd. If anything she spilled her water cup all over herself. But if she did wet the bed to get me in trouble that is abuse. It is...

    they are trying to fill the beds so they mix LTC and rehab together. The trend is changing. Rehab used to be filled on the other side of the building.Now its full of dementia patients, fall risks, alarms going off all the time. Maybe the nursing home...

    no actually this resident puts herself on the bedpan and you just have to empty it. Yes all of us were being written up for not clocking out on time. No overtime at all ever they don't even pay for a 40 hr week. All this day aid had to do was empty ...

    I never get respect. I hate to say it but the younger CNA's take over the place. The management like them around it looks good for business. The day shift is like a Romper Room shift. I am on the working shift. I really think the CNA that took over a...

13. Does this really get reported negatively on your record at the ltc headquarters

    peppylady replied to cnamommyto2's topic in CNA/MA

    That is like 43 residents apiece that has to be illegal. These nursing homes fool around with the hours and get away with it. The residents are not getting the proper care. I work in Florida and it's the same thing here. they are working us to the bo...

    I have a resident that uses the bedpan every hour on the hour during the night. She uses the big big bed pan. It holds a quart, I measured it. She overflows this bed pan 8 times every night. I can't believe all the urine that comes out of her. She sa...
