Bcaring&comp

Hello! After recent situations&conversations with senseless uncaring pods this week, I am glad to see other HUMAN nurses and na out there dealing with the same things. we are an endangered species, being taken over by these pods with lame excuses.. :uhoh21: Ive heard everything from" u dont know what ive been through" to "Im tired of everyone putting the blame on me" to "these people just want to make my life miserable" to "all they want is to be waited on hand and foot, all they do is moan because they r in a gchair, if they done for theirselves they wouldnt hurt like that. my back hurts too and i still walk to the bathroom"!!!! yeah well their lives are just soooo great arent they? and I know it wasnt me that left her in a saturated bed for that long when u just "got done with a check on that hall! and if they didnt have degenerative hips with calcified masses , and stage 3 decubs on their heels they probaby would walk to the bathroom, if u would answer her light, and walk her like ur suppose to,she wouldnt have the decubs either!!!!!!!!!!! But who am I to say n e thing right>>>>>>>>>>>... I dont know what ur going through!!!!!!!!!! :rotfl:

I am a 22y/o Lpn. Have been one for a year. I worked as a cna for 5 yrs and loved it. Yes I agree it is a very hard job and used to think that nurses had it easy. Boy was I wrong. But cnas dont have it easy at all, other than the fact that no matter how many times certain ones r reported for not doing their jobs, they still get a paycheck? Excuse Me but cant they make money flipping burgers instead of taking care of other peoples loved ones? Especially when I get in trouble for not signing out a tylenol? Gimme a BREAK, and not a half hour to an hour smoke either! I have worked with some very GREAT TRUSTWORTHY cnas along with some that i wouldnt let dog sit for 1 hr for me. I ve worked in several nh and 1 hosp. I would much rather be in a hosp as far as pt care and experience goes. Ive worked @ a nh where i was the only aide on 11-7 4 72 res c one nurse who didnt do anythng xcept chart & ask me questions while I worked. She did do laundry for me! this was not all the time but CI were common.. I done every bedcheck, wash, grease, flip and repeat. started getting up at 445. By 6 am I had almost 2 halls up!! That is called "work"! I have had aides who cant wash grease or flip n e one or give showers to 41 res. 3-4 cnas scheduled because "they dont have time or enough help." It takes 2 hrs to get them in bed after supper? With no hygeine given..When a nurse has told cnas numerous amt of times that their pet peeves are T/p q 2, peri care, cath care, washed faces & hands (gen care) and they lie to ur face about turning a critical pt. What do u do? I help when possible even when not. I change res, do bed checks, all while doing my own job, i dont yell at them, or even ask much of them. these r my good aides. HELP!!!!!!!! Im one of the nurse they like and agree with.... I miss the hosp too. total "outer limits" n nh.. I respect cnas who work i understand, relate. Ur cnas r ur eyes n a nh when they r open!!! If u have aides who do their job right, listen to them, praise them and CHERISH them because they r not everywhere!!!!!!!! If u happen to have any xtrs send em my way, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
