Happy Holidays everyone. Keep strength through your work days!!!:heartbeat

did you go on the vacation, what happened?

I don't understand why LTC places are like this! It would seem like it would be the opposite way around! Low pay for what we do, when nurses sit on their butt and 'chart' all day and get paid 3 times...

im out of that place now, i couldnt take it anymore! im staying prn though

dont feel bad. this was me when i started. and depending on the work load, work will be torture the whole time youre there. i just quit my cna job after being there 6-7 months because the environment...

if you're going to be a cna, you'll be sweating buckets the whole time, you wont need a jacket

I work 3rd shift, after a crazy exhausting night we have to get up as many as we can by 7:30, starting at 6. they are all total care and it takes time. day shift always says we dont get up enough...

what happened?

To the husband of a 2-3 assist total care patient, stop acting like it takes too long for us to get to your wife to change her or put her on/off the commode. We have tried to hold her up and wipe her...

I'm getting really burned out with a lot of things going on in the facility I work in. Way too many things to name. What's it like where you work in terms of call-ins, scheduling, lazy cnas, mean...

no no no no no no, you wont be able to do anything you need to in ltc. in ltc there is no easy work. it is VERY physically demanding and you sweat bullets allllll day and you will have enough pain...

its not what you think, its not easy. 20 patients to yourself, call lights going off, bed alarms going off from people with dementia trying to get up, people up and wandering, talking, being loud (if...

I was really shy at first too. Hard to make small talk with people who don't remember anything about anything, have dementia, or can hardly hear you and have nothing really going on in their lives...

GO ON THE VACATION, THEY CANT RUN YOUR LIFE!!! DO NOT LET THEM TRAMPLE ALL OVER YOU BECAUSE IT WILL HAPPEN FROM NOW ON IF YOU LET IT START!!!!! have fun on your vacation :D

my phone on silent to check the time throughout the night. gait belt. 3 pairs of gloves.

when they are on their side and you put the brief down, push it more between them and the sheets, sort of tucking the side of the brief under them so you have enough to pull out from under them to...

where i work if you trade shifts with someone you both sign a paper. if they cant cover it for some reason it is their responsibility to get it covered again, not yours. if i were in your situation...

I didn't say all, I said most. And for some, it's the only job they can get. If the truth offends you, bury your head in the sand and remain blissfully ignorant. Obviously this doesn't mean...

breaks? what breaks? all i get is a 30 minute lunch
