We start at 5 am and are required to get up (as in awake, dress, clean - get out of bed) 6-7 residents. Which includes 1-2 showers. So in 2 hours is this overkill? I'm not asking because of me, yea its a pain to do especially when call lights and alarms are going off but because it seems unfair to the residents and also considering first shift who has 1.5 hours until breakfast only has 2-3 residents to get up.

I have been an STNA for three years now. Just recently I started at a new facility that is basically around the corner from my new house. What I am concerned about is the fact that as a 3rd shift aide we are expected too get up 6 residents (7 on some halls) plus complete 1-2 showers per aide. We get the shaft of all hoyers and two assist residents while first conveniently gets 2-3 EASY one assists. Is there any laws that helps protect us? Thank you!
