Hello I would like to know if anyone has any insight on being reported to the nursing board for verbal abuse to a resident the patient wasn't hurt nor did she hear the staff member but another staff member reported to the DON and the person got fired and they are reporting it to the board of nursing could this mean that nurse would lose her licenses?

Im In to for the Fall semster-also taking eng 112 and spanish 101!! Praying for A's!!!! Good Luck to All!!!:wink2:

Hello I havent been on here in a while but the post are just as interesting as before my comment on this is yes I am A CNA and a goodone I might add. Yes, I have stood res. that are capable of standing to change them. But only iff they agree to it. They are always changes in a bathroom to give them the respect that is greatly needed. Res. in long term care need there diginty because you have to aks yourself how would you feel if you were in there postion. I think all long term care facility need a monthly survey on how they (res) and family members are treated because the staff can also abuse the family members by ignoring them. I must admit that long term care facilities need to be look into more because where I work I have res they see me when i come in and they tell me everything that has been done to them whether it be good or bad. I have some just tell me thank you for coming to work cause I really missed you. This is the reason as to why I have decided to continue my education so that I can help more in someone's life. I love my job and yes it can be very stressful but just one thank you and several smiles sends that away. Love and respect is a greatly appreciated to those in need of it.

hello just wantes to say that being a CNA has its ups and down bit for me I think my ups have been great ups and downs I have to say that my worst is when you get close to a res/patient and then they expire on you. This has happened to me several times and i know you are nit suppose to get that close to them but seeing someone everyday and taking care of them I think if you are human you are going to get connected to them. I have been a CNA for 3 years and it stills get to me when one of my res/pts expire because they mean so much to me. I have found that when you are having a bad day that it only takes one res/pt to tell you something and it brightens your whole day and sometimes I even cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So yes I love my job and getting poop on me it part of it but I always keep a change of clothes in my locker just in case.:balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::monkeydance::monkeydance::monkeydance:

Hello I understand what you mean I had a resident that was walking around going to the bathroom and just because they had to keep their eye on her, they thought she waas a fall risk and put her in a chair with a lap pillow on it so that she would have to stay in the chair, then she got use to being in the chair an now she cant even keep a steady gait oh also they put her in briefs. It hurts to see them lose their abilities to suit others.

I am having trouble with one question maybe someone can help me with it? Here it goes, What happens in cells when energy input exceeds energy output? When energy output exceeds energy input?

Hello Been a CNA fro 3.5 years and love it, I work in a LTC unit but i think its better because I know who i will be working with. CNA works hard an sometime we dont get the respec thats due but when you feel that way my motto is just tell people how you feel and know that what you do is important and give all the glory to your residents and god cause he can always make your day better.

Hello everyone this is the case also for us in VA I was told that I would have to retake the test again to practice nurse aide in NC! Dur to the fact that they have different standards for the CNA course.

Hello April, Thanks for being a true person! I have had this problem very recently. The CNA told a resident not to ring her call bell and was very rude to her and so the resident called her daughter and the daughter to the job and was very upset, The charge nurse for the night spoke to the lady and I myself went to talk to the resident and reassures her that it was ok to use her bell. I also asked her could she tell me who told her not to ring her call bell and reassured me that it was that CNA! So I went to this CNA and politely told her that she should not be telling residents not to use the cal bell and that this her way to call for help. The CNA got all upset and told me to mined my own business and leave her alone! So after that I told her that I was only trying to keep her from getting in trouble because this could get her fired and reassured her that I would not be trying to warn her again! Then I went to the DON and reported her because several other aides and residents were complaining about her and how rude she can be! So my advice t you is to keep your head up high and report any abuse to the nurses or whoever in chage because sometime people can be rude and disrespectful. Please always remeber that the people you are taking care of are older and they deserve respect!! :balloons:;):monkeydance:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!sgregory
