Foster CNAs

Are you a foster CNA of an orphaned resident?Do you enjoy caring for your residents more than you do avoiding them? It seems like far too many facilities have it's least favorite resident. They often have extra needs and require effort and maybe you get a few less breaks in the chart room. Often put off til very last the call for help from their rooms. It should have been answered in 3, we all do, but after 20 their caregiver has gone to extremes to avoid. As you go down the hall you she their caregiver toileting a patient that is not even theirs rather than help their own. You find a very stressed and shaky patient that wants to go to the bathroom. After you tell the CNA Mrs Taylor she had been calling for twenty five minutes, which is true and denied. Why did the nurses not say anything. It keeps happening and next the patient starts staring with desperate eyes at the station. Toileting has increased to twice and you are laying them down in the after noon. So talking with the patient begins and the irritation of being stuck doing starts to fade. Sometimes her cna thanks you, don't mention it, but always tell a you how hard the patient is and how many times they have put them on the toilet, right in front of the patient. Then you notice the calls are ignored in the morning after breakfast or if she is begging for help they blow right past her. I have never been able to just walk past and ignore some one begging for help. So I help.Talking turns into an everyday thing and now I am doing every thing but dressing her I'm the morning in addition to my own group. I did not understand why she got ignored or put off there was not a lack of time. And why such a hard patient? I suppose I could have reported to the nurse, but there would be no point, they know already. I adopted her about eight months ago and love taking care of her and she loves me to take care of her. I will never abandon my orphaned resident and she now has a sense of security because she knows I be there when she needs me. To this day her CNA s try to look busy when she needs help. Over time they have given me an attitude. Now taking her to the toilet when others back down is considered spoiling her. would love to hear stories about compassionate foster CNAs and how they came about a resident no one else would claim.
