Hi, I'm new here and I just wanted to get your imput on my situation. I'm a cma, or med-aid. If you've never had the pleasure of working with one of us before I'll give you a quick rundown on what most med-aids do. We generally pass medication, do treatments, check blood-sugars and all those other little time suckers. Generally we try and make a nurses life easier. I work in a very small facility with 5 full time residents and up to 7 respite patients. As you might imagine our turnover rate is a nightmare, and I'm responsible for the paperwork and everything that comes with it on up to 7 addmissions and discharges a week, and I work nights! We only have 3 Nurses on staff and those aren't going to be replaced when they leave. Essentially the managment is attempting to run a nursing home without actually having any nurses, now we do have access to nurses from another building on site, but actually getting ahold of one to come over is very hit and miss. any thoughts or suggestions?
