You're wondering how this affects me? Well then, when the "team" is developing communication issues because of someones behavior, which I have no control over since I'm not the one sleeping around, then that breeds a negative work environment. And when I stay positive and offer help to other staff they don't reciprocate, this creates bad relationships. When managers have office pets this can be bad for the other staff who are doing their best for the patients but get no positive reinforcement. Simple idea yes? And some of you wonder why I would say "retarded." If you read the text it said, "And those ******* females wonder why they get "used" for sex." You can infer that I'm insulting them for their own self destructive behavior. They were getting jealous of each other when they found out they weren't the only ones being pursued. This creates infighting. Sex doesn't bother me, like some of you seem to believe. But if you're doing it ON THE CLOCK, wasting COMPANY TIME and destroying relationships in the process, how is it that this doesn't bother you? So some people can bypass rules but you can't? I have found a new job already, but not for the reasons you all have said. I recall someone saying that if I found a new job then the staff would be happy to see me leave. Who knows where you get such a rude mentality; I can say without a second thought that I"m not half as rude as you are, in person. I may vent with offensive words over the internet but I never do so in person. I can easily predict your response after this. Good bye all, type in your insults now. Don't control your tongue, since you're easily angered. I won't be returning anyway!

The name is a joke, no one said I needed a serious name. But tell me this, why do you approve of unethical behavior that destroys the team?

I am sorry, I didn't know about your new rules and I won't do it again.

Actually, he was bragging about paying them sometimes, they're into that thing. But if this behavior is causing the women to argue with each other then why does everyone just look the other way? This immorality doesn't bother anyone?

I need to vent, hopefully you wonderful people can help me. This has been driving me to the edge of insanity! There is a nurse in my place who does sexually immoral things ON THE JOB and it angers me he still works here!! Certain CNAs and nurses are jealous of each other now, DON wonders why work doesn't get done on his shift, and there is favoritism here. I cross oceans for the patients and staff but get told I'm not doing enough but this freakin nurse gets told he's doing a great job and is the best. Do I have to put my **** in the nurses to get some respect around here?! And those involved females wonder why they get "used" for sex, it's because YOU HAVE NO SELF RESPECT!! Granting sexual favors is against company policy and I'm tempted to blow the whistle since I'm unappreciated for my hard work but I have no proof. Have you guys been in this situation before? How did you handle it? Because I'm about to look for another job. Thanks! Edit: I don't mean to be negative or bring you down but this isbad for work.

Thank you all very much for the helpful and inspiring words! I'm lucky right now because the man left during another shift. The last time I saw him he asked one of the aides, "can you grab that for me?" The aide asks, "that? Grab what?" He then reaches over for the TV remote, "that." "It's already in your hand sir." We were certain now that he is a manipulator. I just lol'd and went home. Thank goodness.

Actually that was the first thing did; had a conversation and built raporte. I even believed that he was not that bad in the beginning but time proved me wrong. As for charting, we use electronic Kiosks and mine happens to be right outside his door where he can see me. His wife is alive and visits him daily and so do his friends.

Hello, allnurses, I am a new CNA with 4 months experience and I would like your advice on a new resident I'm taking care of. He will call every 5 minutes, no joke, for the most paltry things I've ever seen. He might need me to reposition his call light because he can't reach it (how did he call me then?); he might need me to reposition his blanket an inch to the left even though he is already covered; maybe he wants me to change the AC temp to 71 degrees from 72 only to call me again 3 minutes later saying he needs it at 70 degrees instead; etc, etc. Then one day he wants to "sleep" next to the nurses station so he can call out my name every single time he see's me walk by, the dude doesn't even care if I need to use the restroom since he needs attention NOW. I was told to visit him more often, every 30 minutes but that's not enough for this guy. Nothing is EVER PERFECT ENOUGH and I feel like finding a new career if I have to put up with this worm for the next couple of months!! I understand he is "paying" me 9 bucks an hour but so are the other 17 patients, they deserve my attention too. Some CNAs told me to be "firm" with him but when the Nurse supervisor see's me doing that then he starts ******** bricks and caves in to the resident's demand because the resident might say I'm being rude. "Just give him what he wants!" What would you all do if you were in my spot? Thanks!
