The careplan was updated several months ago but its still wrong. Like this particular resident eats in the activity room because they need more assistance yet on her care plan it says she eats in the independent dining area. I told this to my DNS and she said it didn't matter, but if it's wrong on several areas of the care plan how can I know if it's up to date?

I was transferring a resident to bed as a one person ext. that I had been transferring for months and followed all the right steps when I noticed that the bed frame of the bed had caused a very large skin tear on the residents leg. I immediately got the attention of my supervising nurse and she got our Charge nurse and they began to assist the resident. I was then informed that the resident had been a two person ext. and that I had to have a write up for not following the care plan even though I was not aware that the care plan had been changed. I was than informed the next day by DNS that the incident had to reported to the state because it was negligence. This incident has happened before several months ago when the resident was transferred as a two person but the DNS believed it was another issue that caused the injury and not the bed frame. The DNS said that it was my transfer that caused the injury yet that same day she had the bed replaced in the residents room. I am also confused because for almost a year I have been charting that I have been transferring the resident as a one person and the MDS never questioned me or asked why I was transferring the resident incorrectly. I am scared that I am going to lose my license, I am a good CNA and all of my coworkers and residents love me. Even the resident who got injured stated that she believes it was the bed that caused both injuries and doesn't believe me to be at fault. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do?

I talked with my DON today and she told me she can't pit me back on the floor until the investigation is over. I wrote a statement and she had me email the pictures of my injuries I sustained from the incident. She even talked to my coworker but I still haven't heard anything yet in regards to the investigation. One of my other coworkers said she saw the bruise and it was the size of a silver dollar and it was on the top of the hand. I'm scared that this could have been from something else and the resident is trying to pin it on me like she did I'm the past with another coworker.

No one has actually been fired. Her and her family members have even made jokes about being abused traumatizing the cnas. I admit that I should have never provided care when she started becoming combative and verbally abusive. My coworker who was there even said I did nothing wrong, I just feel terrible that the resident was hurt in the process and so was I.

I was recently assisting a coworker with helping provide peri-care to a resident when the resident suddenly became combative and verbally abusive after we had turn her on her side. She began to hit and scratch me and call me abhorrent names. I tried to ask her to stop and she mocked me, I tried to hold onto her arm, but she continued to strike me and even dug her nails into my hand. The next day my DNS Assistant called to inform that the resident had bruising and swelling to her wrist and that it was going to be investigated. I am scared that I am going to lose my job and my license. This resident has been known to make false accusations and even falsely accusing aides of causing injuries. She even told us as we were changing her that she was going to report us and have us fired like she did the others. What should I do?
