I am a CNA in FL and would like you nurses opinion on this matter, if you will. I have been with this Home Health Agency since December, and have had this particular patient for 5 months now. She has Dementia, but mostly independent requiring supervi...

Hi everybody! I've got some news about that patient... My agency called me this morning saying that DCF called and wanted to talk to me, and the office manager gave me the investigator's phone number. Then she said "Is that about that patient so and ...

As I was leaving the agency on Friday, one of the girls who work there at the office said "Do you like purses? If you want to look, I have a bag here full of them..." And all these other CNAs looking at the purses and buying... and I was the one thin...

Yes, Ms. N.A.! I agree with you! You can never be too good. I think I failed on this. I am wondering what kind of aide they sent to that patient I had. I'm sure no matter how good she is, there will always be a complaint. And the other (underlying a...

I know, Cali... that shows that they really care for us workers out there.

I think that lady (upper management, I guess) that called me that evening said something to my office manager. I know they were very nice to me when I went there today. Or tried to.

I agree with you, Nursel! They are just trying to make me feel bad for what I did. I don't feel an inch bad about quitting the case. It wasn't because I'm new. It was because it just wasn't right. Anyway, the only thing the person of the Elder Abuse ...

I was thinking about not quitting right now... I want to stay for some more time until I can find something else to do. That's why I will just keep this patient for now.

Good afternoon to all! I went to the agency today. I had to file a patient complaint form, which I did. I stated that it became a question of safety for myself to work there, as I had already informed the agency that these issues were going on. I als...

Thanks Cali! I will follow your suggestion... :icon_roll Will let you know tomorrow how it went.

Thanks Cali! Well, I am talking to the client's daughter right now, and she really likes me. She said "if it depends upon us, they will NEVER find out, I promise yoU! I really need and like you!". I told her, the only thing is, if I quit the agency, ...

oh thanks, Nursel! I am not there yet, still on pre-reqs... Well, the lady took my report, I tried my best to be accurate and remember everything. What is going to happen now? Are they going to call me back? I really would like to know what happened...

Cali-- I'm sorry but I did not get your point on that other case. I'm dumb... Yes, I know they can sue me if they want to. The question is: how would they find out? At the same time I want to do it, I'm scared as well. Hard enough to pay for nursing...

then... I don't know... i think I better not (don't have $2500 lying around)!

I know... as a matter of fact my agency has that policy. I am scared to death of working for this family and the agency finds out. $2500 in fines! I understand why they would have this policy. But at the same time, the really can't control what I do ...

I'm concerned with who is going to back me up on this...

I have another question: my other patient's family said if I ever quit my agency, they will pay me privately to watch her father and mother... I kinda know what you guys are going to say... but say it anyway?!

a letter of resignation??? How do I make one?? I had never done one before.

thanks muffin-girl! I am tired of my agency, to be honest...

I was going to drop my schedule part time anyway, because I'm starting nursing school now, so I don't want to kill myself working while going to school.

actually I already had an interview... but it's for a interpretation company where I will be working from home. I will be working part time for this company and if the agency doesn't fire me, I will still keep my other patient, which will be part tim...

Hi guys!!!!! Wow that feels good that you guys were thinking about me... :icon_roll Well, I just got off the phone with Florida Elder Abuse Hotline... I hope this is who I had to reach! Anyway, the lady who took my message spoke so fast, I had to a...

will have to go to bed and try calming down... I'm just thinking how well my patient and I got along and how much I helped her, I'm sure I did. She always appreciated me. Maybe if I keep thinking of this positive aspect of the situation, I can cope b...

I definitely will. I am more exhausted of this whole thing than anything else. I know tomorrow I will have to speak with either this lady "supervisor over everyone", or my office manager. Either tomorrow or Friday. All I wanted is for her to stop pus...

Atheos has scared me now. Oh gosh. I feel like a fool for not writing my own stuff down.
