Yeah, I was thinking about doing that! Thanks!

I work as a CNA every other weekend. I do my job, and do everything I'm suppose to. But, there is this 2nd shift CNA, who absolutely despises me for some reason. She picks out everything I do wrong, or something that could've been done, etc and she doesn't even work on my hall. I wrote a post about another situation with her a couple weeks ago. I worked this weekend, and today we had an agent come in to take over my spot. She was there the previous day, taking care of my same patients. When it was time for me to give her my report, I asked if she was okay with everything and if I needed to tell her more about the patients (since she worked yesterday) but she proceeded to say she was fine and I told her what they were doing at that time, etc. I walked by the CNA that always gives me a hard time, and she commented to me that if I already gave her my report. I continue to say yes, and she just kept being smart, and saying how she doesn't know anything etc. And how I needed to say this and that. But, I made sure the CNA from the agency was fine. What does everyone think about this situation? I know we all deal with difficult coworkers, but this one in particular picks only on me.

I will make sure to do that now! I only work every other weekend, so I'm not familiar with what's been going on. I make sure I know what's wrong with my patients, and how they go throughout the day. It gets frustrating sometimes because I'm not told certain things and the CNA's/Nurses get irritated with me

Thank you, I will definitely make sure I tell the nurse next time!

Thank you very much! I will certainly do that!

I am going to take that experience, and learn from it. One of the reasons I didn't bathe one of the patients was because he was hullicinating and kept falling asleep, seconds after I woke him up. I gave him a partial bath to help clean him up a little bit, I checked his diaper and he was dry. I felt like he wasn't capable of a bed bath at the time. I asked him if he wanted a bath and he said no, then I asked him again and he said yes, then no again. Words were just getting mixed up. I just feel like I'm not fit for nursing because of people always getting on my case about what I need to do and what I haven't done. I love taking care of my patients, I try to sit down and talk to each one when I have the chance, I make sure they are in good care.

I work as a CNA in a nursing home. One day that I worked, I had 9 patients. I was busy with patients all day, and didn't get to bathe one patient. Another co worker took him to the bathroom, and told the nurse how bad he was down there. The same coworker came up to me and told me I should have cleaned him up. I had another patient who didn't want to get bathed, so I just cleaned her up a little bit and got her ready for the day. 2nd shift arrives, and one of the cna's on that shift does not like me for some reason. She always finds something that I didn't do right or didn't take care of and acts like I don't perform my duties. She found out that 2 patients weren't bathed and made a scene in front of everyone about it. The 2nd shift nurse made me stay until I bathed both of them. After it was all over I was furious, I have a guilty feeling inside me. I feel discouraged and that I'm not fit to be a nurse.
