Where I work the CNA's use a computer system called Care Tracker. No more paper for them but the nurses are still writing a book every day. Our social worker has a very frustrating job when it comes to matching up the behaviors that the CNA's chart o...
My sister almost went to school to be a MA. I'm so relieved she didn't. I am a staffing coordinator at a LTC facility and I have had several Medical Assistants apply for anything they can get. I always have to turn them down because they are not cert...
Hi Everyone. I'd like some advice and/or input about what I can do to try to raise the morale in my LTC facility. I work in a non-union 114 bed nursing home. I worked at the same facility as a CNA for four years, and now I do scheduling for the nurs...
UH-OH. NOW WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO? Do you think they will use agency to cover open shifts? I hope people don't lose their hours because of refusing mandation! We got tired of the mandation at our facility a couple years ago. It just wasn't fair or...
I was a CNA for about 4 years before I was asked to take the job as Staffing Coordinator. I make the nurse's and CNA's schedules, and assign where they work every day(among loads of other things). When I have nurse's constantly complaining to me abou...
Carol, I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. I read your post and had to look at your name and location because I also have that resident. I am one of the CNA's that get the short end of the stick when it comes to one particular resident. She...
I don't know about any of yours, but my fiance is the hardest person to get to the doctor. Must be a man thing. He wont go unless he feels like he's going to die i swear. So no, he has not been to the doc. I'm just trying to investigate, not look...

This is very interesting. I've always been "into" these kinds of things. Before I had my first son, I had just started to do some meditation and yoga, and really study what it's all about. Then, I got so busy with family and work that I kind of pu...
my 3 year old just started having these also. i didn't know if i should call them night terrors or not. but he just starts screaming and crying, sometimes saying no, no, no. his eyes are closed and when you try to wake him up he gets more upset an...

I have a certain lady resident who has a rhyme for everything. Like when I whistle, she says: "whistlin' girl and a crowin' hen, always comes to some bad end", or "goodness gracious caught a skunk. goodness gracious, how he stunk. Recently, while ...
