CNA very upset

[peppylady]

I am a Certified Nursing assistant I have been one for almost 40 years. I've been there and done it. I've seen it all. Our work load is getting harder and harder everyday. I decided to take the night shift thinking it was easier but it isn't. I have been finding it hard to get out on time in the morning and the supervisor talked to me about it.

Well to the problem. To me it's a big problem. I got fired May 23. The 7-3 gal found one of my residents laying soaking wet in bed. I didn't see it but they said she was wet from head to toe. The problem is is that she has a urostomy. The resident told them that I spilled urine all over her and left it for the 7-3 gal to clean it up. I emptied her urostomy in the graduate about 700cc's drained out and I poured it down the toilet. I never spilled a thing on the resident. I was already home when I got the call that I was fired. I asked if they checked her water cup and they said no. Well I got fired anyway and now they reported me to the board of nursing and I am being investigated. I just found another job this time I am going to agency to work. I'm done in nursing homes.

I should have told someone but I am afraid of what they might do to me, Yeah look what they did to me. But you think the Board of Nursing knows this goes on and sees it all the time?
