Difficult resident and charged nurse

Published

Hello my Fellow CNA, how do you deal with difficult resident and difficult nurse? I have this resident suppose to take shower before 9 pm but keep refusing no matter how I try to convinced her. I report it to the nurse and they help me but even them have a hard time of convincing her; but finally the resident agree to take shower at 10 pm which is too late because she supposed to be in bed at that time but I shower her anyway.

The other issue nurse accused me that I did not remove my gloves after done taking care of the resident and use the same dirty gloves to other residents in other room. I always remove my gloves and use a new clean gloves to every resident. while I was walking in the hallway coming towards to other room I wear new clean gloves in advanced; maybe when she saw me she thinks I use the same dirty gloves to other resident;The nurse report me to the supervisor.

I am angry at the nurse I just think I don't deserved any of this thing; the nurse is being unreasonable. :no: Well, I just pray her to the Lord.

By the way I work in agency; perhaps they don't like working with people from agency? I don't understand why.

You can't get much more rural than where I live and work and we have a no glove in the hallway policy. The nursing home where I previously worked had a no glove in the hallway policy, though thy did park the dirty laundry and trash hoppers in the hallway (much to my chagrin). I would think the only time it would be OK would be if someone was actively bleeding or you were cleaning up a bodily fluid.

oh my

I guess I need to change systoly to deliverance ;)

I've just gotta ask. What is a "charged nurse?"
