For the first time in 3 years, I clocked out late. I am a very efficient and organized worker. My coworkers have been clocking out 30 minutes to 2 hours late. We have been yelled at by management and have tried to explain but are told that our assignments are not too tough.
We have about 25 residents. My assignment is roughly 13 residents, the residents who do not require 2 people. Of these 13 residents 3 actually do require two people for cares and I have to run around to find people to help me. 10 of these 13 residents are moderately to severely demented: we're talking about the punching, hitting, kicking, spittng in my face, playing with feces, and trying to escape the unit all night demented. These 10 residents are also essentially walking total care residents. I am part babysitter just to prevent them from hurting themselves and each other. It is also a struggle to do cares. I am also responsible for assisting the nurse in whatever she needs me for. And I give 2 baths each night. I am also responsible for answering call lights.
My other two coworkers have 12 total care residents to toilet, monitor, and get up. Most of these residents are demented too, obscenely obese, and three of them are on the call light every 20 minutes. 2 are violent. These coworkers usually have 2 or 3 baths between them.
We have gotten residents with spinal injuries that require special care and after that it's just gone downhill and we can't keep up. What can we do??
Is it possble to own a Maserati with a CRNA's salary, without a huge dent in the salary? because that is my number one motivation to get me through school.
