I work for and LTAC Hospital, we have 3 floors and approximately 20 patients for each floor, with only 1 CNA per floor! This means that I have to stop passing meds,stop doing any kind of patient care, or any of the mounds of paperwork and charting that is required and help the CNA with cleaning, and repostioning the patients, because neither one of us can do it by ourselves. This is putting the patients at risk, because they are not being watched by enough personnel, my chances of making an error are greater, going back and forth doing my job and the cna's job at the same time. One patient was crashing, and luckly was found by housekeeping, who called a code. Oh and by the way the cna's are being offered a $25.00 bonus if they are willing to take the floor by themselves!!!
