I work at an assist living home as a C.N.A. for almost a year now and ready to tell them to shove it where the sun doesn't shine for putting so much on us. All the C.N.A working with me is complaining about the need of an extra person working on building 300 instead of one person because four of the residents needs full assistants. Two of the residents call every 10 minutes for silly reasons and don't really need assistants with anything. The boss said we need 10 people on that building before he puts another C.N.A over there and now they are saying we must have 15 residents over there before putting two C.N.A in building 300. The 300 building won't hold 15 people because two of the room have a stinky odor and they won't use them. Although everyone complains about the overload, the boss won't listen to us. We even a family member complaining about the lack of help in that building. I got the idea if I can get the family members complaining he has to put an extra C.N.A in the building. On a regular day, we give out medicine at 4pm, take care of the resident, feed them at 5pm, attend to the resident between giving out medication, preparing the drinks and tables for dinner, feeding the resident who need assistants,
washing the dishes, mopping the floor, wiping down the tables, answering call lights every 10 to 20 minutes,give out medication again at 8pm, bathing them, and finally round of checking them at the end of the night and get them dress and in bed, also getting garbage. We take the garbage out around 1045pm. OMG, Third shift complains when someone isn't dried at 11:15pm. We can't help they pee between 10 and 11pm. serious? I tried telling the residents know you're human but you can't urinate again until 11:20pm. (sarcasm) Did I mention wash and hang their clothes for them too whenever one can get to the washing machine over in the next building because 100 and 200 staff has the washing machine full. it's just too much for us. I was getting my work done before they put the resident with the broken hip and the needy resident who calls every 10 minutes wanting nothing but to be nosy, along with another resident who was independent lost her ability to walk and eat. His ignorance of what we go through makes me insane. does anyone know the law of the ratio of C.N.A to patients in Georgia and should I report this problem to the adult protective services? I'm so frustrated and ready to hunt for a new job to get away from all the dysfunction at the place.
