Well not to mention there already is many behavior problems. They constantly swing at me, punch or kick me. Not to mention the are constantly being aggressive to each other (clawing, taking swings, trying to stab with forks, etc.) during the day, thank goodnesss I haven't witnessed it happening at night. I have tried explaining to management and they tell me they will see what they can do, then as I expected they do nothing.

The other shifts have 2 CNA's available at all times in the building but I am left alone for my graveyard shifts.

Thank you for the reply! Yes it's very hard to find another CNA since there not another person in the building! I ended up having to call people from a different building to help me toilet waited about half an hour. Turns out we needed three CNA's to help me toilet her tonight. The whole process took about 30 minutes with three of us. My facility should really invest in another CNA in my building!!

First time poster here! A couple of months back I completed my CNA certification and was excited to jump right into the medical field! I was hired to work in a memory care facility in Idaho with about 15 residents ( 9 of which are bed changes rest are able to stand and be changed) with moderate to severe alzeihmers and dementia. I usually work graves which means you work by your self with no assistance and no other cna's. I have not had a problem with it until recently, a particular resident which is a two person assist stopped being able to walk. This particular resident also has a bad attitude,VERY UNSTEADY and aggressive. My facility offers no hoyers or any fancy stuff like that, how do I go about toileting them? I have had the roughest time doing so and it usually ends on me almost hurting myself and her soaked.
