When the previous shift leaves your residents soaked including the bed. The resident who you have just done peri care after a massive blow out then decides to let more lose. The resident who blows out and plays with the contents and gets it into their finger nails. The resident who has to get up every 15 minutes after having to be put to bed every time to use the bathroom. No offense but can anyone just have a solid bm once in a while that is easy to clean. Having to use those crazy pantie liners for incontinent residents because it is a dignity issue. The resident who is never happy with the meal that they get and make you go to the kitchen to find out what else they have. The resident who drops all their body weight on you in the middle of a pivot transfer. My personal favorite is the new admit that comes in with no clothes. The residents who screams nurse, nurse all the time. The shower aide who does not tell you she or he will not be getting to so and so today, but gets to some one else who was not on the list. Then the resident is mad at you because you did not get them up on time. Getting a total hoyer lift patient on the toilet.

Daaaaaannggg!

Why is it that you always spill your grape juice at the dinner table when I'm wearing my white pants?? Can't you at least wait until the day I'm wearing my black pants, or better yet, just not knock over the glass at all?? Pretty please??

Seriously? You are mad at me because i wouldn't drop what i was doing with another resident to go adjust your mother's pillow? Heaven forbid I take another resident to the bathroom before she poops herself... I see now that your mother's pillow is infinitely more important... jackass! You're offended because I "won't make time for her?" Meanwhile you are standing here yelling at me and stomping your feet when you COULD be "making time" for your mother by DOING IT YOUR DAMN SELF. You know what lady? You are CRAZY. F you! Better yet, keep on ranting and raving.... maybe you'll stroke out or something and then you and your mother can be "neglected" together!

Some of those families make me wish I was back waiting tables. At least I would walk out with cash in my pocket nightly for having to put up with jerks rather than wait on a check.

When I was a waiter and you where obviously demanding and not going to tip me, I would just stay away from your table other than do give you food/drink or the check. I would be unseen.

I cannot say what I want to say to them, because what I REALLY want to say is nothing. I just want to give them the min. amount I have to give them without losing my job and disappear, preferably taking care of the real customers.

But a CNA must be seen when family is there, and must interact. There is no disappearing. And there are many more things they can gripe about than in restaurants.

If she plays her cards right, maybe a pressure ulcer will even set in!!

I bet she won't be able to contain her excitement at her freshly-pureed hot dog with a side of liquified macaroni -- my personal favorite!

That's pretty much what I do. Sucking up is not my forte. NO ONE likes this woman but most of the other CNAs are able to fake it. I can't. I barely look at her and I don't make small talk. Just go in, do what i have to do, and leave quickly. If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all, right? It's gotten to the point where this basketcase of a family member won't even approach me for her inane requests because she can tell I dislike her. Not being chased down the hallway is fine with me though.

Quit your "whoohooing" at me. I am NOT a dog.

Quit telling me what your alert roommate wants/needs.

When are you being discharged? :rolleyes:

The doctors & resident wanted to find Ms. X because she wasn't in her room and they wanted to meet with her. Of course they ask the nurse, who then proceeds to ask me while I'm desperately trying to finish my toileting & pass out snacks so that I can cover my coworker's break in time. Apparently the receptionist downstairs says Ms. Ex is sitting out in the sun.

Well, I have to leave my unit and find Ms. X outside. After convincing her to go up, I ride the elevator up & see doctor and resident sitting on their butts in the office chatting. As I approach, the resident asks in a rude voice, "So ... did you EVER find Ms. Ex?"

I just wanted to say, "You lazy woman! I'm here running my *** off and you're sitting there in the office chatting. You're a RESIDENT, not a DOCTOR. Next time, you go down and get Ms. Ex, huh? Don't treat me like I'm a slave or the dirt on the sole of your shoe." But I guess these sorts of petty jobs are above them MDs.

Sounds like the Resident needs a little bit of midnight "potty-training" by the nursing staff. Ex: call at 2:00 am saying you can't read their writing and would like to confirm such-and-such order. Or ask if it's OK to put a cool rag on someone's face. If the staff plays their cards right, you all can "break them in." :D

:yeah:Omg, CoffeMate, I would LOVE to see that happen with a few of the higher-ups at my facility! They drop off these insane requests and expect them to be done RIGHTNOW and it would be sooooo delightful to call with follow-up questions in the middle of the night! LOL
