Thank you Vicki! I hope that I will get a chance to go through all of it.

I am really sorry that y'all have had such a bad run of CNA's. I am a CNA and where ever I am working, it doesn't matter if the nurse is a student, intern, or a regular staff, unless i am told otherwise, if the patient is assigned to me, I take the care of them to the best of my ability from toileting to ambulating to taking vital to charting. Even if the patient is not mine, I will help out when I can. I have worked with CNA's that "magically" disappear whenever they are needed, and it really irritates me. It isn't very often that I can get a nurse to help me, so when I can't get an aid to help it makes my job even harder. In a hospital, I typically have 10 people to take care of, in a nursing home or a skilled nursing facility I will typically have twice that.

Good luck to you Amy!!! You've gotten some great advice here. I hope you use it! :icon_hug:
