I believe people have no conscience anymore. where i work someone stole the battery out of the laptop at one of the stations so now there is no computer there to use to make papers you need to go to one of the other stations. where do people get the...

maybe i should of worked that a little differently. We are getting paid to take care of them and whether it is out of our taxes or directly out of their wallet they still deserve to be taken care of the way we would want to be taken care of. Someone...

I work 3rd shift in LTC and have given showers to residents that request them before dayshift arrives. I had one resident who wanted his shower at 4:30 am on Thursdays and it was his right so I gave it and another who wanted hers no later than 5:30 a...

I transferred for PA to IA and my DON did what needed to be done for me.

thought about going to work in the hospital but enjoy getting to know the residents LTC and also thought about being a traveling aide but haven't for the same reason.

i work 3rd shift and when we are fully staffed 2 of us to a wing of about 35 residents, and we get between 8 and 10 people up in the morning. However now i work in the altzheimers wing and have 8 residents by myself and really like that too. I liked...

i failed my test the first time also. My son gave me a bit of advice that was quite helpful. he told me to pretend i was teaching the instructor instead of thinking the instructor was watching me. it calmed my nerves.

my son is paranoia schizrophrenic and he moved back in with us. He is driving my husband and I both crazy. Does anyone have any suggestions. I feel bad for him but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do to help him.:icon_roll

when he wants things he wants them right away there is no making him understand he is on a tight budget. he doesn't think things through. there are times he shows me respect and other times he is yelling at me just because i tell him no. he can't ju...

Haven"t been here in awhile. I have been quite busy. My son who is schizrophrenic moved in with us and I had to have ankle surgery. I fell on down my steps going to the laundry room and hit my ankle going down. My son is in PA for now but will be bac...

Does anyone out there feel like they are taking on more responsibility than they should? I work 3rd shift in a LTC facility. Here is an example of what I am talking about. This morning I was going to give showers to 2 of the residents. One of them it...

On 3rd shift we work together as we only have 2 aides for almost 40 residents. we get 8 people up in the morning and we each take 4. we are responsible for 1 persons shower on a thurs. morning because he requested to have it before 5 am. It actually ...

I don't chart the things that the other aides are responsible for. On third shift we are not responsible for any particular resident we work together on all of them. I have worked at this facility for almost 6 years and the supervisors know that I s...

i work 3rd shift and last night i was asked to come in at 7:30 instead of 11:00. i really don't mind the overtime but what bothers me is we are told not to work overtime by the facility and that it must be approved. whenever they are short due to peo...

here i sit should be sleeping. i work 3rd shift. my sleeping patterns are crappy to say the least. usually i get home anywhere from 8:15- 9:00 am. sit up for an hour or two then go to bed for anywhere from 2 to 3 hrs. get up and lie down anywhere fro...

maybe this is the wrong thing to say but sometimes dayshift feels they are the most important shift and the rest of us are there filling in our time. my theory is that every shift is busy and we are all needed. contrary to what dayshift may think th...

i am only a cna/med aide but let me tell you about my night last night. I came into work thinking i would be on one station all night when i was told at 3 am i would be working on a different one because they were short. that was fine with me. no pro...

i have been working nocs for 6 years now. sleeping patterns are the one thing i really hate about it. i usually get home between 8 and 8:30 lye down around 9:00-9:30 and wake up around 12:30- 1:30 stay up anywhere from 5-7 pm and stay in bed till 10 ...

i work in ltc facility 3rd shift. One night as i was doing rounds i walked into a lady's room to find her eating her feces. she then informed me that her chocolate tasted kind of funny.

i am a cna/cma in a long term care facility. it is to your advantage to become a nurse's aide. one of the main reasons i feel this way is because you will be the cna's boss when you are the nurse on the floor. by being a cna at one time yourself you ...

may i ask where in wisconsin i am in iowa and have been a cna/cma for over 4 years and am not making $11 an hour. i am about 1 hour from la crosse.

looks good on the schedule but doesn't matter whether they work or not as long as they are there. if state comes you are fully staffed. frankly i would rather be understaffed or in my case alone on the floor than have someone who is there in body onl...

and some people think noc shift is a walk in the park. those of us who work it know better.

i work in a nursing home. we have to aides on the floor for about 35 residents. we do rounds every 2 hrs. we get 8 residents up and dressed in the morning. one of them is basically independent i wash her back and make her bed empty her trash etc. th...

where i work i guess basically it is a lack of communication. the other night i got a call by the rn on staff asking me to come in at 10 instead of 11 just so someone could leave an hour early. when i went in last night for the 4 hrs i told the ass...
