Same gentlemen had broken an aid's arm, scratched and bitten before.. Never to me..

While trying to clean an incont pt of bm, he tryed to fling some at me. I picked up the warm, clean soapy water in the basin, and poured it over his bare chest. Oh the look on his face. Whoops... He NEVER was cruel or resisted getting cleaned up ...

LatRN.. I have worked in LTC 3 years. I am not a young person starting my career... I am 59 yrs old, and worked there 3 years ago. I am not saying the LTC have hordes of extra money, but the staffing they had where I worked were MANY, MANY manageme...

What the Hell is wrong with people.. They have these beautiful babies, then abuse them... I have seen very little of this, THANK GOD, or I think I'd try to do more than just call the authoritories... I'd go out of my mind. This is why at this stage ...

Only someone in health care can appreciate the fact, sometimes our bodies just won't go anymore...:redbeathe:dncgb:dncgcpd:by:

You could have pleaded temporary insanity for the arson charge.... LOL

As a CNA, I do not check veins, but look at ankles to see if they could be pitted edema for me to report... I do the pillow condom and corners at home, and wash the hands, wrists, and elbows more than necessary. Also knock on all doors before enteri...

You can always work at Walmart... It's a free country....

Unfortunately I was fired from a job because of resident untruths. This caused me refusal to two other jobs in the future. It has been 3 years, and I now have a GREAT job which I love, but it doesn't take away from the way I felt then. My husband ...

These people have more history and love than most of their caregivers have in there little finger! I worked with MANY other CNAs and Nurses that "talked over" these people. I wish there were more consideration to our elderly. As long as these nurs...

:redbeathe Pour me a cherry kool-aid... I believe reincarnation and religion go hand-in-hand. It all makes sense to me... I too, cannot believe your soul has a one time shot in a body. I believe we keep being reborn until we get it right with G...

I can relate to this... But I get calls from other caregivers, anytime, Where are the Incont. pads? (In the linen closet where they have been for 3 years)... Where did you put my lg gloves? (I HAVE NOT seen your lg gloves!!) Will you pick me up 5 bo...

Sorry, but I am going to crack up... "To poop or Not to poop" seems to be the question. Guess I had a wine too many... Sorry... LOL

God Bless you Arievilo... Your jewels for your crown will be awaiting you in Heaven. You are a heavenly earth angel. You care.

This happens ALOT in the LTC where I worked. I was shocked when I started working as a CNA that co-workers could change residents and NOT SAY A WORD to the resident, but talk to each other over the resident. I think if I was awoke, brief taken o...

I agree. Talk about animal cruelity.....

YOUR BAD.... I remember how frightened I was. Then this other aide tells me to reposition it ! Seems the aides were doing this in the past... I went to the gyn with this poor demented lady, but refused to do it myself!!

YOU STAND BACK.... WAY BACK.

:barf01: that would be enough for me to RUN, not walk, away from nursing... Poor thing. She needs a shrink, sofa, and a long vacation....

and then there was 80yr lol in assisted living. each time her hemmoriods would flair-up and bleed, she would crawl into bed and ask for meds for her "curse" lol

Sorry, I worked nights. We had our share of work to do. I had 3 people to get up. Sorry, we gave a shower, made beds, answered call bells and responded to those off our "list" I got sooo tired of day telling us we needed to get the diffucult o...

ME TOO... I worked LTC for 3 years. Nothing mattered. I couldn't get my people up with good feeling of proper care. If I brushed teeth, combed hair, made beds, etc, I was always late. If I was on time, my residents were not ready for the day. Go...

You can not make stuff like this up, even with the best of the imaginations.....
