I just worked an overnight shift and it was my first night being the only LPN on the unit. When it comes to CNA's I trust them to complete their assignment without any nagging. Well they kinda changed that.
They left at 7am and the day CNA's came to us during report and said that only a few residents were totally dressed. They are assigned a couple residents for each assignment to get up in the morning. In my definition- get up means out of bed to chair, changed, cleaned, dressed, ready for the day and brought in for breakfast. 4 residents per CNA.
I felt like a total idiot because they didn't do their job. I wrote their names and assignment down for the day supervisor. I am ******. I have a lot of work to do during the night. If I don't do it. I get written up. I really hope I don't get written up for what they didn't do. I know I am responsible for them to make sure they did their assignment but their assignments are their responsibility.
Did I do the right thing in reporting this to the supervisor? Should I have made my expectations of them clear when I made the assignments of the night?
