    CNA2016:) replied to CNA2016:)'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes he is targeting everyone. But I believe the reason he hates me so much is because I tell him not to swear at me or yell or i will leave the room. Not everyone does this. Most just take the abuse....

    CNA2016:) replied to CNA2016:)'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CNA2016:) replied to CNA2016:)'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Okay I was thinking that. But I'm also wondering about work safety. This resident is constantly verbally abusive and could very well be physically abusive towards me. This is still fireable for an...

    CNA2016:) replied to CNA2016:)'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Smiling and walking past when he knows I'm not his aide (because he refuses me continuously) and then him changing his mind that now he wants me to answer his bell, does not make me neglectful or in...

  18. Two residents have refused my care

    CNA2016:) replied to CNA2016:)'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    my point of all of this is that this resident is purposely targeting me and I'm aware of it and no matter what I do, whether answer his calls or not, I get yelled at by him. so I've been polite and...
