The NOC shift doesn't wake up ANYONE in the morning...is this normal?

Published

I work the day shift right now, and it seems that every time I arrive in the morning, NO ONE is up. I actually plan to move to the NOC shift, so I'm just curious if any of you have seen this? Thanks! :D

NOC have 30 residents a piece for each (2) CNA. There are 2 nurses as well who do not help-even though administration tells them they have to. lol! NOC shift doesn't get anyone up and it is understandable. 1:30 is too much. I work 6am-2pm and we have to get up each resident 15 a piece for each (4) CNA.

where the hell do you work that you have a 1:30 patient ratio? I live in California and there are strict cna to patient ratios that must be followed.

NOC's has 3-4 residents to get up each, days has 4 each, they are all total cares.
