3. Tired of nurses treating aides, CNA, HHA, etc. like crap!

   cna23 replied to Xavier97x2's topic in CNA/MA

   As a cna, I understand what you're going through. We get treated as if we're scum on the bottom of their shoes. Families, Patients, fellow co-workers, management...... but what can we do other than put up with it. If you really love what you do, you ...

   cna23 replied to marineswife0809's topic in CNA/MA

   Some times nurses act like their **** don't stink. When all the other cnas are busy and you're standing right outside a room I'm in and you're looking at papers on your cart, I ask you to help me with a boost, but you tell me you're waaaayy too busy ...

13. The charting dilemma

    cna23 replied to MattyIrie's topic in CNA/MA

    Do not chart for residents you did not care for. Docters and unit managers will look through it,and you will get caught. Then youll be lying. What if a resident was givin a suppository earlier on in the day, and you put that there were no bm for that...

14. Question, about HIPPA

    cna23 replied to purse's topic in HIPAA

    I don't see why not. I would've done the same. U care about the person. But maybe if u discussed this persons problems to someone else than maybe that would be a violation.
