Dodgy workmate - what would you do?

I've been working as an AIN (equivalent to your CNA but without taking vitals) in a nursing home for 5 months.

Most of the people I've worked with have been great, very helpful at showing the newbie how things are done, but I have recently been put with an 'experienced' partner who's just awful! He's been reported by several other AIN's for his shoddy practices but nothing ever happens. He does doubles by himself - risky to him and the resident and heads rolling if a family member came in! He finishes early and doesn't do rounds properly so he can watch tv in the resident's lounge for the last 1 1/2 hours of the shift.

The bosses know and I was told by the boss to just keep him on track - yeah right. :banghead:

So what would you do? My situation is that I'm going to be working casual hours so I can avoid that guy if I choose, but is there some way / technique you experienced CNA's would use on this guy? (Other than hitting his head in a door til he realises he isn't God or invincible. :saint: )

Cheers in advance.

lol, well i too have worked with sorry cna's. idk what you could do that hasnt been done. alot of workers get away with being sorry because they come to work and work for others if needed and therefore the facitlity doesnt want to get rid of them. has anyone reproted him to state? you can refuse to work with him, maybe it will get to a point where no1 wants to work with him lol and the nhe will get terminated! idk what else, but if he is as sucky as you say, he may have it comeing already

GOOD LUCK!!!
