YOU SHOULDN'T BE AN ******* ABOUT IT

Basically I was working a shift and had to change this guy with a blind roommate.he has one leg but can turn alright.he needed pulling up but the bottom of the bed dipped down when I let him down so I had to get a nurse and show her. She helped me put a sheet under him pull him up and everything. then few hours later his blind roommate stubbs his toe on a wheelchair I forgot to roll back because I had a light going off and the broken bed frustrated me and I had others to change.WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS.with me this is the first time it happened and he had the gall to shout at me.I'm sorry next time I'll let u stay in your own crap and urine cus I wouldn't want to forget to push those back again honestly if he would have been nice I wouldn't have cared but he was just to rude people like that make me want to damn quit.

But I don't get much out of him at least it's not everyday. This woman swears to God I throwing her out of bed when I roll her and she's in her right mind like him. She's racist to I mean she gives everyone a hard time but me and my other white coworker she swears up and down we fools.

The guy I can forgive eventually but that woman is going to HELL when she dies. Those religious programs she has on repeat are bs until I'm prove wrong I will say she's a cold heartless whitch. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one she's nearly brought to tears. Note I said nearly. I'm not going to cry over these people

But on a good note........most residents are supportive and understanding and if I accidentally bump them or forget something they are OK with it.like this one lady I swear I could run her over with a truck apologize and she would say it's OK Rachel

I don't know if it is just me I mean I'm sorry about the wheelchair but 30 people to myself and all of them needing changing I deserve the right to make a few mistakes

he didn't need to do that.he just wanted to be a jerk. I'd understand if it was very bad but a stubbed toe is nothing to get all mad about

Hey I would like to say sorry for the poor grammar and punctuation but this was an emotional moment for me and I need to vent or I will blow up ;-;

ALL CNAs who have worked at least 6 months in LTC has felt the same way, no matter what they tell you! They just don't write it out on a public forum like you did.

Sure I've been irritated, but I've never said I hoped anyone went to hell, or threatened (in my mind) to let them sit in their own excrement.... lol

Well , i know it sounds like I'm blaming others for my problems, it's the other shifts that put that thought in his head. They have literally told patients they don't care making the rest of us look bad. Trust me if I find another job in this poor economy I'll take it

Sure I've been irritated, but I've never said I hoped anyone went to hell, or threatened (in my mind) to let them sit in their own excrement.... lol

I never hoped for anything, but she is going to hell (sorry). Many of my residents are bedridden but sweet she has no excuse

Thank you all I know I sound bad rn but I will never openly say this to a residents face. I feel it's good for me to rant her rather then at my ltc facility

You need to take a chill pill, seriously. What you dealt with is par for the course, and there is more where that came from. You need to remember that these residents are very set in their ways and slight changes can set them off. If you feel the way you do about caring for these people you may have chosen the wrong field.
