I worked day shift as a CNA in LTC Rehab. I'm a brand new CNA and felt comfortable with my job already even if it's fast-pace and I've only worked there for a month now. I love my job, I love helping out people. I feel that my patients are happy with the care that I provided to them. Most of my patients will say, " Oh, you're an amazing CNA." "You're my angel." "You do things happily for me." "You're so sweet", if I'm assigned to someone else, one of them will ask for me bec they don't want to be change if it's a diff CNA and I'm willing to help them out still regardless of how busy I am and get them dress just to help out a colleague. I do bed bath, brush every pts teeth, change brief, establish rapport while I do the those things with them. Some of my coworkers are really fast, bec they don't do bed bath anymore. Which I don't mind. I barely sit in the chair, maybe during lunch break and a 15 min documentation of all my patient, I don't even have time to chitchat. I know I'm a hardworking person, I have no complaints wherever I'm assigned, be it a hard to deal patient, or whatever I'm always on the go. And I take care of them the best I can. Make sure their diapers are changed before the end of shift. I know my coworkers in day shift like me, bec I help out a lot.
My problem is, I have a colleague who works in the afternoon shift that time I had her run bec I'm thrown to any patient. Lol she thinks I left a patient wet bec she said "the family member complain and talk to the Unit Manager and got mad". Blah blah "You have to do this and that". Which isn't true, I would never leave a patient like that. She said I have to check the patient again 30 mins before I leave and we do reports at 2:45 and she want me to answer call light even if it's already past 2:45 and I do that when they're not yet in. One time, I was documenting, and she said "Thank God, (Name of other colleague) is here. Bec she don't like that it's me who's gonna be handling her pts in the morning. And the other CNA told me that, "she's gonna tell everybody" about what I did. Which are lies. I just feel so hurt that I worked so hard and it's what I'm gonna get. With all the stress and the low-pay which I don't mind. But having someone accused me of something I didn't do is just too much. I saw her talking to the ADON, so maybe she reported me already. She worked there 2 years. Where do I go from here? Sorry for the long post. Just trying to vent out. I feel like quitting already. How do I know if she write me up?
