ADON having sex with CNA

I didn't know that anyone really asked.
I don't understand - how is resident care and their well being affected? Was substandard care being provided? Had there been any episodes of injury or neglect?
And unless there was obvious, blatant favoritism that you found unacceptable, it's MYOB or look elsewhere for other employment.
But just to tell you, inter-staff relationships are much more common than you might think. Most are discreet, but NOT always. And where those are that AREN'T discreet, everybody usually knows!

Yes, very common. And nursing (heck, not even the the medical field as a whole) does not have a monopoly on this. Despite what modern medical drama TV shows would have you believe, we're not the Kings and Queens of office kink by a long shot.

And you bring up a very good point that is not being discussed a lot. If the OP gives the impression they will interrupt what is going on, there may very well be retaliation.

AND, you'd be surprised where said retaliation comes from. Suddenly, all those people gossiping about it as if they're ten miles beyond offended by it will suddenly start clucking about how OP should have minded their own business. They will turn on a dime and devour the new found target for their gossip like yesterday's pizza.

OP: The crude yet wise old saying "Pop or get off the pot" applies here in my opinion. If it bothers you, report it to the appropriate people. If it doesn't bother you enough to do that, then it's not worth your attention anymore. While this may sound crass, this is the best approach even if abuse/manipulation is going on. Truth is, if abuse is going on, you're interventions to stop it could be harmful. The abuser may think the other one reported them. So, it's best to either report it to someone who can help the situation or, don't stir the pot at all. There's no alternative middle ground really.
