How do I survive day shift, alot of times I feel myself dragging or falling behind, how do you get better at 6 to 2, I used to work 2 to 10 for 2 years now I have been at it for 2 years. How do I get better.

I got ya, by no means I didnt interpret that like you said be lazy or put residents at risk, using every single minute with them, yeah I see what you mean, do you just pick up on short cuts as an aide, the ones that are ok to use.?

Aww thanks you guys, that made me feel better, I guess the transition from 2 to 10 to 6 to 2 was a bit of a culture shock to me, I mean the other aides say I am fast and a good aide, but I beat myself up, and like I said, its only been 4 years I have...

Ok well how do you get faster at t hat kind of work ? How is it the older aides are so quick

No, as soon as 7 30 hits we have to serve trays, but what about this, I shower one to two guys before breakfast and get the other guys up, and clean as I go along. I mean when can I be as great as the other aides? Does it take time?

And majority of the people go to the dining room by the way ma'm
