  1. Love the residents - HATE the coworkers!!

    That is physical and emotional abuse.
  2. Chasing after alarms. What do you do?

    That seems illegal.
  3. There are other facilities that are not so difficult. Where I work they have 2 sections. The short term and long term. The short term is mostly for rehab clients. They are easier to deal with. Then there are assistant living facilities. Also home hea...
  4. Dealing with noncompliant client?

    How do you deal with a client whom will not let you change them when they are very dirty?
  5. crap...am I in huge trouble???

    I have made bad mistake and didn't get fired. I think as long as no one got hurt or the clean up wasn't extremely expensive I you won't get fired. Possibly a write up. Just try to get in the habit of looking behind yourself before you leave a room.
  6. Feel pressured to do 2 people transfer alone

    I have found that this occurs because therapist doesn't upgrade the info in the ADL book. Thus I go to the therapist to get it upgraded.
  7. Increasing speed

    Well 5 months have gone by and still barely get done at 11:15. I see there are some things I do that other skip. Like floating the heals and asking the resident if they are comfortable. Even when I just have 6 clients I barely get done. The 6 clients...
  8. Feel pressured to do 2 people transfer alone

    I agree with that, thus I get the xrays and go to a chiropractor. Result is I get better faster. Workmen's comp Doctors just seem to push medication that it is impossible to take and work.
  9. Feel pressured to do 2 people transfer alone

    Are you certain that they were talking about all lifts and not just the sit and stand lift? For with the sit to stand lift we are allowed to do them by ourselves.
  10. Invalid drug test?

    No one I saw has a band ankle sprain. Patient lost balance in bathroom and her foot went sideways as she rebalanced him. This is a no lift facility. Having 12 to 16 patients puts a lot of pressure on you to rush and then accidents happen. My injury o...

  14. Co-workers don't want to help me change residents!!!

    Well there are always some that don't work as a team and will give you a hard time. I had one co-worker that would yell at me at times. Didn't complain about it. Was good for 1 day I needed her help. When 1 co-worker said she would not spot me while...
  15. Job injury

    Forgot to mention that in the ADL book it says the patient is max lift. No pad was under him for max lift. Couldn't find anyone whom had put a pad for max lift under patient in wheel chair. Co-worker initially wanted me to lift him with him to be. I...
