i am so sick and tired of working short i could just scream! we had a call in again today. every single day for over a week a cna has called in and the person in charge of the schedule can not find someone to replace the cna. so instead of getting my work done in a timely fashion i am running around like a chicken with her head cut off trying to get my work done and help the cnas with their work. this is stupid and i am stupid for putting up with these unsafe conditions. i wish management would just fire some of these people that call in all the time. this is getting old really fast.
this weekend i was in charge of the schedule. i had one call in for one of the halls and i no sooner hung up the phone from taking that call in then someone else was calling in for the same hall. by this point i have completely had it and asked the cna if it was absolutly necessary that she miss work that night. she gave me the same story that the person before her gave me. what am i to do? make her come in and prove that she has a temp. i gave up it did not matter how much of a guilt trip i gave this girl, she was not coming in that night. so i put calls out and was only able to find one replacement of the two missing cnas.
the thing that makes me mad is the fact that they will not do anything to stop all of the call ins. it is one thing if you are sick, but for crying out loud not all of these people are sick. one of the girls calling in was seen at the bar by another cna. they will probably call me into the office for not being polite enough to the cnas that called in. now i am done with my rant of the day.
