I would like to hear opinions from CNA /Med Aide like myself regarding night shift workload/tasks.I am completely baffled weather to stay or resign. I am a doer by nature , I don't like to complain, i give things a try and do my best. But lately, I have been very down and a feeling degraded in one aspect of NOC shift job. I work in an assisted living facility/not Memory care. There are about 25-30 residents give or take.Most of them , atleast at the moment sleep at night and only a few to take to the bathroom or turn. I do med pass, positioning and basically monitoring people and assisting as needed. That's all easy for me and I love it on top of MED room task,MAR Audits, Med Cart check and refilling, receivables,incident management (911) that's all fine. done ,done , done , no problem. I work with a caregiver, so there are 2 staffs total . I love all the people i work with at NOC shift. that aspect makes me not want to leave and also the residents that I have learn to love .They are a pleasure to help and serve. However,the housekeeping tasks is messing with my self esteem.I am talking about the whole kitchen, dining room ,laundry,main living room, reception area, activity room , 2 offices including RN's office and Community relation managers,( I have to vacuum their offices and empty their trash???) 3 bathrooms and break room, including breaking down boxes for recycling.Basically the whole building including sanitizing all the doorknobs in 4 hallways. Yes, I am hardworking and I can get that done with the help of another caregiver (HCA) but is that acceptable workload for CNA and Med Aide? Since it is "not busy" all the deep cleaning is assigned to the NOC shift, sanitizing, vacuuming, some laundry,sweeping, mopping scrubbing toilets,washing rubber mats,ironing all linens for the dining tables, setting tables for breakfast.I bet you, there is more , I am just tired of typing so ill stop there. WoW, I just got exhausted typing and reading it...how much more doing every night I work for the last 12 months. Do you have the same work load/ housekeeping task s in general ? What is acceptable and whats not? Inputs anyone.
