Wasn't fired. Still going strong lol In fact I acquired two recognition slips of good work from my patients this evening. It's a normal occurrence for me. Sorry you aren't respected at your jobs or taken seriously that you have to resort to all this to fill that void in your life. And no longer scheduled down other wings. Oh yeah, due to respect. .. Sorry you wouldn't get that.. Above your heads.. You're unfamiliar... I'm so sorry your prophecies have failed you. disappointing lol. Time to go back to real life now. Where things actually get done regarding actual care of actual people. Have you been there lately? How do any of you regulars take care of people efficiently if you sit in online all day? Mathematically judging by the exhorbant amount of time I see much of the regulars like and comment on posts the only answer can be little to none. It's understandable that you don't have actual hands in life experience in the field. Regulars retired, burn out nurses? Regulars stay at home moms with a degree they don't use? Regulars themselves lost their licenses and now come online? Regulars lost their licenses and pose as nurses as a sort of delusional denial they haven't come to terms with? All intriguing questions that I wish I gave a crap of what the answers to them are lol Cheers.

Firstly, I haven't been on here to check the flood of insults because I work a lot of hours, go to school and take care of my family. I saw in another trending topic a woman was earnestly asking for advice because she witnessed a nurse dosing meds to patients illegally and straight up risking their lives. I read the comments on there. You all attacked the OP and replied viciously like a bunch of keyboard warriors behind a computer screen. Apologies to the 2 or so posters who were actually helpful, friendly, considerate, and knew how to reply in a civil manner. Happy Holidays.

I didn't do anything to cause this. Unless she just has a personality conflict with me. She did add all of the CNA staff to Facebook. I didn't accept. It's a stretch to think, but perhaps she took offense? This, putting me down other wings thing that's going on, was also was happening before the supervisor and I "got into it" -- a sort of argument. That only happened a few days ago. To further the notion that I didn't cause this due to being a bad employee: I was nominated employee of the month last month. I also had a trainee with me for the first time (at this job) the other day and all of my patients told her I had a good teacher and other comments along those lines. I'm also specifically requested by more than a few patients. I have not had any write ups. I'm also good at my job and have been doing it for years. The average employee stays here about 3 months. The building is still new, so I can't give any other sort of projections since it has not been open for a long time -- the point of stating that is to show that seniority isn't just not a factor; It's nonexistant. So, that can't be the problem either. Also, what I meant about leaving on the spot I just meant is there any way to make up an excuse or reason that has legal binding to get out of work (for the day only) without prior permission. As in any way to leave for the day and not get fired for leaving. I'd like to be aware of one if there is in case it comes down to that. To use as a sort of escape route to put my ducks in a row and come up with a new plan, which will probably entail wanting to find a new job because they seemingly don't care about their employees. The DON told me she knows I don't want to quit. And I don't. But that can change fast depending on if the way she is treating me and playing games escalates. Obviously hoping it does not. And hoping I never have to exercise leaving work for the day. And the patronizing is unnecessary. Did you miss the part about how more than a few other CNAs never have to switch wings and are never asked to? Also The reason why other CNAs float is because they straight out say that they don't care where they go. Some people just prefer to establish with patients and not have to relearn new ones constantly while others it makes no difference. Being that I have done this for several years, I just dont want to deal with the stress of not having an always changing assignment. A place I used to work for was terrible. I feel the job is already stressful enough, thankless, and the way many of the the nurses and managment treat CNAs like they are next to nothing, makes me want to hold onto the little pride I have. If she starts throwing me around everywhere I'm letting her know its ok to treat me like crap, and that I will bend over and take it because "she said so." She's not even technically my boss. She doesn't have any firing authority. Perhaps I will talk to the DON again and mention to her that I think there is a personal vendetta going on here rather than that I am NEEDED down other wings. I know I am not NEEDED down other wings. There is no demand "AT ALL" to switch employees around to other wings. As stated and proven based on that many don't switch around. It's literally just me she is pushing at.

Does anyone have a helpful comment that isn't an RN with a big head? I didn't come here to be talked down to... I'm also highly educated and in nursing school...thanks...

Hello everyone! I work as a CNA and have a supervisor of sorts deliberately pushing my buttons. I started working here about 8 months ago but have been doing this kind of work for four years. So the scoop is I have been down the same wing every day since I started working here. It's my primary wing and I've established a degree of closeness and relationships with my patients. They know me well as I do them. However, this new scheduler, who is also sort of the supervision for CNAs, has decided to start scheduling me down different wings that I am not accustomed to and personally do not want to work since I have an established wing that I have become familiar to. I made it clear to the higher-ups, that I will, if it came to it, quit working here if they continue to try to put me down other wings. I have not been given 1 good reason why they are doing this after talking to them. Also, there are 8 other CNAs that I can think of off the top of my head, and 2 nurses whom "NEVER" are assigned to other wings. Ever. I have brought this fact up and I'm still (most consistently now) being scheduled down any and every other wing other than the one I always work on. How I have been dealing with it is I just switch wings with other employees and everything is fine. Everyone I work with knows I work down the wing I do and have no problem switching. Often times I come into work and they already made the switch because they know when i come in I work down that wing and will not go to another. But now this supervisor/scheduler posted a notice that write ups and discaplinary action may result in doing this. I have good reason to believe that she is now scheduling me like this on purpose and for no other reason than to push my buttons and we got into a sort of argument about it recently as well. I understand they reserve the right to put me where they want me, legally. But It is not fair at all when many of the other employees never have to move and are "never even asked to move!' What do I do? I don't want to quit my job, I like it here. I already spoke my mind to the supervisor/scheduler and the DON and it continues to happen. Well, the DON said she personally doesn't care if I switch but that It's not set in stone that I may never not have to. Yet I come into work and it happens again. I also dont want to put other employees at fault for a write up because they are switching with me. I was also wondering if there is a way or reason to leave work on the spot (for the day) that is covered under any laws. Because I am seriously holding that idea in reserve if this happens and there comes a time they absolutely tell me I cannot switch (which hasnt happened yet) Again I dont want to quit my job but I am dreding every day I go in now what will happen. Help!??!
