I do home care now but did nursing homes for 7 years. Some places appreciate me more than others lol.

We just sleep all night. That's why we're seaty and exhausted when they come in. Good lord. i did start off as an STNA on days cuz I was 17 and it was the only shift I could work legally. felt so guilty dragging people out of bed when I wouldn't even want to get up. Everyone had to be up by 8 and we had no hoyer lift. So we sure got out exercise. What sort of Ltc do you work in?

I have no desire to get up at 6 am and not get a shift differential lol. But they come in and act like we do nothing all night. Cuz patients turn, change, and medicate themselves. Talented, aren't they?

Of course. It'll come from Ohio, so she'll have no idea. I can think of t least a dozen people who deserve a copy lol.

Thanks for the friends invite. I'm a night person too, wouldn't have it any other way
