I am currently a CNA student who just finished 3 days of clinicals this week. Didn't go so well, on day two, my partner and I was transfering a resident to use the bathroom, and I went explained to them that I was going to first put on the gait belt before they got up out of the chair they were in, but they insisted on not wearing it. On day one my instructor asked the question "who is the boss?" I said the nurse?...the doctor?...She said "No, the resident is the boss, if the resident doesnt want to eat than the riesident has the right not to eat." So this was my logical reasoning behind not using the gait belt in this situation. So the resident got up used a walker to the bathroom, as I walked with her close by. My teacher came up to me half way and told me I had to use the gait belt regardless of the patients request. At the end of the the night, my teach took me and my partner aside and explained to us how we f**up big time because of us not using the gait belt that one time. She was also ****** because she said we spent to much time with a particular resident, instead of moving on to another one, and the third thing she said that ****** her off was she said she feels that she has to spoon feed us (me and my partner) on what duties to perform. She then went on to say that if there was a list of people to hire and everyone on that list needed to be hired and me and my partner was on that list, she would still not hire us. She said that she would never have us take care of her family if they were in such a position All this along with her cussing and so fourth, her lips were quivering as if she was in a panic state. She said that she can't see in way that she can trust us from now on. Then she said we could still take the exams, and finish up clinicals but shes still not going to allow us to pass. All this on my second night of clinicals as a CNA student, never before have I ever worked in this type of job environment in my life. I don't mind being rebuked and corrected so I can learn from my mistakes and become better at my abilities, but I made a couple errors and shes basically expelling me and my partner. She said we could take the class again but we'd have to pay the money ($1500). Couldn't sleep that night. Day 3 of clinicals went very smooth for my partner and I, and my partner asked my teacher if everything's cool, and my teacher said "yeah today went good, but it should have been that good since day 1, your still failing" So that's the background behind a question I want to ask for whoever can give me some advice, I paid $1500 for this lady to make me into a bad-ass CNA and instead of correcting me and filling me in on where I have a lack of understanding, she shoots me and my partner down, and crushes us. The only reason I let her walk all over me and my partner is because it doesn't make any sense for someone to just expell me for my misunderstanding on not using a F***ing gait belt, or spending a little extra time caring for a resident, or asking my teacher if theres any particular task she would like for me to do (in which she calls "spoon feeding". I still can wrap my mind around being expelled down this road for situations in which I'm just learning from. I'm going to take my exams and pass them, but if for some reason she doesn't allow me to be certified, then what? I mean, I went into clinicals considering it as a time to put the book and the practicing skills to the actual field, so that we can come out having experience in dealing with real people using what we learned. I didn't think clinicals held a perfection policy. Am I wrong about this? If I am ok than, but if i'm not and this lady is going to keep my money, and not allow me to pass regardless of my high test scores, what do I do than? Oh yeah, and my initial question (sorry) , Does a resident have the right to refuse a gait belt when being transferred?
