guess they have a major communication problem

thank you all for responding, just wanted to give you an update.. she did get fired but hearsay is that it was for too many little pettie things like calling off and lates.....at least that is what some of the senior employees are talking about... it does sadden me that she is going to be a lpn, and did that....what the ____ was she thinking.......i didnt want to start trouble but maybe she deserved it.....when i told my trainer....she said maybe she did it because last time she took this ladies bp she got hit......well wouldnt you try to ask someone else to get it? she wasnt a regular on the floor.....i would.....being a new cna...for me some of these elderly can be difficult to get a bp on...just trying to hear... i know i did ask the second day...after 2nd attempt to the cna trainer..... that was just so wrong what she did.... thank you all lori

well i told the cna (she is a level 2 cna)that was training me she said ahe would mention it to the unit manager....not using name of course...but i guess i will have to wait and see....maybe she will or wont but if she doesnt...then that is a problem for me.....i just dont want to start any trouble but that just was soooooo wrong!!!!!

hi all just need to vent about last night at work....another cna was to take vitals on resident on unit, she is not a regular, i am new cna and also to this ltcf. been there one week still on training. well she was to get temp and bp..resident in hallway with me...she took temp and not bp but she wrote on vital board patients bp as 120/82.....rghghhhhh it bothered me being new i hate to start trouble but this patient cannot speak...but understands.. i told the cna that was training me later...its sad...but sadder is this cna just finished her lpn!!!!!! thanks for the vent.... lori

hi please dont feel silly about going back to school.....you will be furthering your education....i just finished my cna class and state exams...yea i am finally a cna.....i am 39...however i have wanted to do this for a lonnnngggg time...so glad i did...i had a issue with the age factor but you know what i wasnt the oldest in the class....52,48 and me 39 were among 17-20 somthing...i actually focused and could see the younger ones in a different light...if ya know what i mean ...we were there to learn not play....... this just opens the door for me who knows i might go on and further my education the one in my class who is 52 is going to go for her rn next......i say do it make yourself happy with what you really want to do good luck lori
