Who should i talk to? Director of burning, human resource Or the nurse that makes the schedule?

Im due in april and really needed an income. I do not mention i was 6 months pregnant but im going above and beyond i n my orientation and taking on my own patients. Who should i talk to? I will not be eligible for family leave but will be working long enough for a performance review. I really want this job after i have the baby. I also live in an at will state. Any advice will help thanks

They are not in restraints. Most don't have bedrails and some have floor alarms.

Welcome to being a CNA. I cant deal with ****** girls so I have always worked overnight. Don't let them get to you and kill them with kindness. Don't overwhelm yourself and focus on your tasks.

Cna,southern maine ,13.00, no,third, nursing home , less yr, full, yes

I worked in an assisted living home and you didn't have to do anything but change a couple people. I had a nice cushy living room to sit in and a flat screen to watch tv. Also look at the wealthier area's for a nicer assisted living facility. I call these the money towns. :)

I was on the dementia unit last night. I work 11pm-7am. There are 26 beds and no nurse on the floor. There is only one CNA and its expected that someone will fall out of bed. I have no idea what floor I'm being assigned to and I'm having a hard time getting to know the patients because I'm being bounced around. Which leads me to believe I will sometimes be working on this floor. How would you handle taking care of 26 patients with various stages of dementia on overnight alone? I'm really nervous about being responsible for 26 people.
