6. Difficult resident and charged nurse

   mineSgold replied to mineSgold's topic in CNA/MA

   I wasn't able to explain well to my supervisor I was very tired that night, I know this shouldn't be a reason. I just know the following morning that I can't return for work there. I guess this served me a lesson. Thank you everyone for the input.

9. Difficult resident and charged nurse

   mineSgold replied to mineSgold's topic in CNA/MA

   Well,,, if the clean new gloves I wear in the hallway is considered dirty already; I supposed we CNA are also dirty ourselves since we came from dirty resident room even though we took gloves off in the resident room. this is the same logic. Doesn't ...

    mineSgold replied to PrettyNerd's topic in CNA/MA

    Use the thing you learned from school correct body position or body mechanic; do not transfer the super heavy resident by yourself make sure ask another CNA for help and use hoyer. And adjust the bed position if it to low for your body.:)

    mineSgold replied to Angela89's topic in CNA/MA

    And do not be shy to speaking up or ask a necessary question to your fellow CNA OR a Nurse at work when you need help. You will overcome your shyness once you used to interact with different people. coming from a former shy person;)
