As one CNA put it one time, "I move from room to room through the bathroom doors so that no one ever sees me or knows where I am!" and the other observation, "Yes, they always know when to call out sick!".

I have to thank my floor nurses and aides today. They were fabulous and helped me with the stuff I didn't know about the residents, which was just about everything.

The numbers the computer kicks out re: psych drugs, UTIs etc bear no relation to reality.

This will NOT happen to me again. I told the DON that as soon as they leave I am setting us up a spreadsheet with all the numbers they want on it. I wasn't a programmer for nuthin'. It'll take me NO time to keep it current and I will never have to stand there like a deer in the headlights again.

Nuh uh.

We have a program to track them. They're not right. EVERY woman on my unit had a UTI according to the system. GAH! We have three.

I have no way to easily track who is a what assist, yada yada yada.
