well.....maybe shes not near one of those stores

OK so I haven't posted on here in a while, because I was on the cna reddit. I came back to have more opinions told to me about this particular situation. OK so we have a new cna with is. She's nice good hard worker, but for some reason she doesn't li...

i was never like this though. i only said that, because i do know these particular resident better then her

your cnas sound awful and you sound like a wonderful nurse. the nurses at my ltcf wont do this they just make the previous shift stay for those slow butts to decide come to work. You should work at my ltcf we would love to have nurses who actually wo...

she confronted me with the whole "dont help me resident or i will report you" and while id love to see whats going on i think it will cause more trouble then its worth its best just to stay out of her way

Talk to her manager without mentioning names to see what she thinks personally and professionally

OK I'm a cna so the nurse lingo is kind of lost on me Reading the fir comment and judging by what I know you gave insulin to someone with low blood sugar. Huge no no as far as I know ( again just a cna) all I have to say to this is you seem to at le...

I don't want three people on the floor i want two let me explain. Months ago a coworker of mine quit leaving a max of one person per hall. Recently a new hire working 12 hours ( I think) was added on night shift leaving 3 people per hall why do I no...

there is a resident at my nursing home that just got back from the mental hospital. He constantly gets out of bed, and its gotten to the point where everyone just leaves him on the floor. I can hardly get him up by myself, but i just feel too bad for...

of course you shouldn't do it but come on. we are not perfect. If you have had a hard time sleeping, I can not blame you for dozing off. all i can say is don't make a habit out of it. I can remember once i fell asleep for 30 minutes on the nightshift...

it is ok if you co-workers are ok with waking you if you fall asleep by acident. its how we work here if someone falls asleep there is always someone to wake them up. we are not irresponsible stop acting like we are

and dont worry i have c: i feel like ive become a better cna for it

agreed all those vitals my god what if someone died

Isn't this a place where I can safely vent my frustrations. I know I whine a lot here, but that's kinda the point of venting.

Besides even though I hate it my residents do care about me and are neglected by many of the cnas. I'd also hate to leave my coworker, because I know they will give her this building by herself. It's really not my problem but I wouldn't want them doi...

You know what they say about assuming I worked for kfc for a while but left because I never got hours I am trying, but I have very limited options. It's not fair for you to say I'm not trying when you don't live near me

well my mom is a cna and a bunch of other family members work as either a cna or in patient care. i wish i could get out before i snap, but these are the only types of jobs available where i live.

hey not saying its alright but she probably dealt with it for so long she didn't think much of it. She should have warned you beforehand, but she could have not been thinking about it at the time. she could have handled it better, but i don't think t...

leisure it auto corrected i was on my phone typing that

yeah very very stupid move with the cna, and from the sound of it not a good one. she could have taken it to the breakroom. maybe she has an eating disorder like the cna i was talking about previously

if you need someone to talk to, im all ears im probably more like you then anyone else on this site. my dad is bipolar and so was his dad i was never formally diagnosed, but since its genetic im going to not be surprised if i ever am diagnosed

hey i get how you feel i live in georgia to. the school i went to for lpn was southern regional and i quickly got out. the teacher was a braindead that rambled on about soda while going through a powerpoint. read the book take the test. i didnt like ...

i have like basically two nurses that walk with a slight limp. i do not know what it is, but is that something common seen with nurses

sadly everyone dies. especially the sick and elderly of a nursing home. I know how you feel there was this one resident of mine who got pneumonia and aspirated. I sat him up and everything. He was just fine when i was doing rounds on him, but next th...

i use proactive i don't really have breakouts much its more of a preventive approach and to be honest you can look like a troll, but if your there to help in a ltc facility i could not care less
