2. FED UP CNAS!!!!

   y&rfan84 replied to marineswife0809's topic in CNA/MA

   There is a lot of that on my shift. There are 3 aides that really do it, and it's so annoying! They talk about our supervisor, but at the same time they are at the nurses station licking her butt. Makes we want to go in there and ring their necks and...

7. What you'd REALLY like to say....

   y&rfan84 replied to ICor9:24's topic in CNA/MA

   To the CNA who wheels my resident up to me, and saids "he smells, and needs to be changed". Well, if he "smells" why dont you be a nice team player, and change him for me. I've got other people to change and a million other things to do. Do you think...

   y&rfan84 replied to asfreeaswelleverb's topic in CNA/MA

   One of my residents did not want to get up in the morning. I went, and told the nurse. Thankfully, she didnt make ME force him to get up! They bug him all week for therapy, and appointments he deserves to have a nice day and relax.:)

    y&rfan84 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in CNA/MA

    Yup, yup. I went through this yesterday. I was sitting at the table feeding at breakfast, and another CNA tells me that when he has my side he is able to get up people quicker than me. And that I should take 30 minutes getting them all up. I just res...

14. Have you ever worked with other CNA's that shouldn't be CNA's?

    y&rfan84 posted a topic in CNA/MA
