   Thank you TricaJ I completely agree with you. I like how you describe it as a soul sucking situation, because that is exactly what is was, and am sure, still is. Living in fear, of going to work, as a caregiver, only to be hurt over and over, was no...

    I recently left my nursing home position as a cna/psw in Canada, because of sheer burn out, took me eight years to reach that point. I was tired of the politics and favourtism that went along with it, in other words I was not the one to be in the adm...
