she was halfway on the commode when i ran out to see if there was anyone. I think in her careplan shes sit to stand lift. And he didnt fall we eased her down to he wouldnt fall

ok so last night i was transferring one of my patients from the wheel chair to the commode now i guess i should mention this lady is pretty big well over 200 pounds and can only stand up when holding on to the bars. well i pushed her wheelchair up to the bars and she stood up and as i was helping her to the commode she flopped halfway on it causing it to tip over. i didnt know what to do so i tried to lift her legs but i coulodnt budge this lady she was solid weight and almost falling. so i pull the call bell hoping someone would come to help but after nooone came i ran out to find the nearest cna to help me but we together still couldnt get this woman back on the commode so we decided to ease her down to the floor because neither one of us could hold her up any longer. so i ran out got a lpn who didnt do anything except tell us we needed to write a statement and then left the room. pretty much noone helped us get this lady off the floor except for another LITTLE cna we finally got her up and used the sit to stand lift on her. Anyways on to my question i get in trouble for this incident?

thanks everyone for your replys i ended up calling promissor because my job was on the line and they told me they had the wrong address for me i was so pissed but i ended up getting it the next day after they changed my adress in the system so i PASSED!!! im so happy now i have the written test on friday cant wait!

hey everyone i took my skills test 2 weeks ago and im still waiting for the state to send my results. i need my results before i can even schedule my written test. does anyone know how long this usually takes?

hey everyone i was just curious if anyone knows the proper way to place a bed pan for the state test? is it to ask the patient to lift thre hips/butt and you place the bedpan that way or is it to roll the patient on their side and then roll them back on the bedpan? lol im just trying to decided which one i should do for the test if i end up getting that skill any help will be greatly appreciated!! thanks guys
