I had a crew of CNA's who made my life a living hell as 3-11 RN shift supervisor. When I would pull them aside and go over P&P with them I would get comments such as "I don't know you, you haven't worked herelong enough. So I won't listen to anything you say to me because I don't trust you. You might just tell me to do something that would make me lose my job"..(although my last job was also RN shift supervisor) Can I just say "WTH?"! I had two of them like that. These same two would tell me in the middle of their shift they were leaving becuase their kids were sick. So I would ask them OK do you have someone to cover your patients for the rest of your shift? Their reply your the RN it's your job to replace staff. OMG. I worked with the MOST immature, disrespectful CNA's I had ever run across. So of course when they would start their "I ain't doing that, I don't have to listen to you and I am leaving" I would call my DON and she would ask to speak to them. I told her sorry they split as fast as they could. Don't you know I was the one who got yelled at and in trouble for not being able to "manage my employees. The next afternoon before 3P shift started, they would get there before me and go to the DON's office andstart telling a bunch of lies about the whole situation. Was always the same 2-3 girls. They would also dissapear for long periods of time. LOL after 5 months I got canned for not being able to get my admissions, Dr.'s orders, assessments and etc done. All I can say is WOW:madface: Best thing that ever happened to me was ro lose that job!! P.S. I was able to collect unemployment, no problem until my next job came along. They didn't even try fighting me on it and they hired back the girl that worked there before me that let the CNA's run the place and treat her badly. I feel bad for the resident's there. Thanks for letting me vent!! So HousTx you are NOT alone!
