I need some advice on what will happen to me. I am a cna and recently I was involved with an incident that resulted in the resident falling from the stand up lift and breaking her hip. I was helping an aide transfer a resident from the chair to the bed and when the resident was standing up in the lift, I asked the aide if it was ok for me to go on break and she said yes. I left before the resident was transferred in bed and she was still standing. When I came back from break she told me the resident fell from the lift when I wasn't there.
The facility sent the information to the attorney general and department of health for nys.
I was suspended from work and I understand I am in big trouble but does anyone know the process or what will happen? Will I lose my certification and can I continue nursing school?
I know now I shouldnt have left and I really regret it and I'm so upset that the patient fell I feel so bad. But I don't know what to do and I can't stop thinking about this. Does anyone have any advice or information on what will happen?
My point was we are all on the same path, some a little further down the road than others. The limitations we have because of age or physical status doesn't define your existence or worth exclusively.
More than three weeks since the OP was suspended. I do not doubt that she doesn't return, in part, because she was terminated. The employer apparently did follow through on throwing her under the bus when they reported the incident, and the OP now finds that she has bigger fish to fry than to engage on AN. I wish her well.

One of the biggest disappointments I have with AN, is that important (or simply interesting) threads have no follow-up. Stumble upon those threads months or even years later and you always wonder "how did this turn out?" One would think that the OP would be inclined to come back and inform the community but most of the time, they never return.
