Whoa this is a sticky wicket if you clocked out early they could have sent your license to the state as I know in my state unless relieved of duty by the nurse and other aide, its called abandonment of care. I would not press this issue to much with ...

Heck some days I don't remember. But to be honest I started as an aide and thought it was a cruse course in high school Yeah right!:uhoh21: Doctored my dolls when they were small. My first day as an aide consisted of the hugest decubeitus I ever saw...

I thought my husband could best answer your question, as he is a Chiropractor and has worked with all kinds of other health care providers. You have an intersting opportunity. Here in Utah, you could become a nurse practioner, which are peer-reviewe...

Wonder if he was from the old school where they felt it wasn't professional to chew gum.I had something similar where My RN instructor did this to me. But my gum the instructor had me place on my Nose and wear on the ward. Never chewed gum while work...

Just to update you We did write the aides up and did do ton's of inservices about this. One thing we added right at the interview time was. We inform the CNA you deal with who's on call. If I the director deems it necessary to call the Manger I the d...

WOW! I would have probably lost it by then said lets step out side. Tell her You may do things different than. I But This does not give you the right or license to correct you in front of Pt or family. I would have written her Up with the agency . I...
