Okay ya'll, tell me what you think about this. One male nurse at LTC facility, involved with 4 female staff members who all work the same shift. The supervisor (RN), the LPN that assists him on his hall, and 2 CNA's. Usually, I'm pretty much one to think "to each his own". However, I think think this situation is going to end up with someone hurt. :chair: So many crazy things happen at this place, I don't even know why it fazes me. But his relationship with the CNA that works my hall is screwing up her job performance. She is so worried about what he's doing and who he's interacting with she can't get her job done. She left today without getting any vital signs or charting input/output. She's frequently talking about how she's gonna beat the supervisor's a@# if she catches them together. She knows about him and the supervisor, but none of the others know about each other (if that makes any sense). I don't know what this man has that is so good. But to get to the point, it's like going to a soap opera every weekend instead of work. I still love my job; it's kind of interesting to watch this all unfold. There is no professionalism anywhere. Today was one of those days where I just didn't feel like a nurse at all. It amazes me what people are willing to sacrifice in order to get their groove on. I can't tell the supervisor about this CNA's job peformance because he's seeing her too. I think this matter is going to have to go to the administrator, it's too much for me to handle anymore:confused: . Any advice?
IMHO whatever you do that directly affects the care of the patients and the morale of the unit is everyone's business on that unit. It also raises questions regarding trust and professionalism.
Totally agree.
As previously stated in my earlier post, patient care is primary and nothing should compromise that. I hope you all re-trace your steps back to read that post.
If people do keep their affairs out of work though, i don't think it's my cup of tea to be honest. Of course if it affects their work and patients' care then action will be taken.
O.K. guys, I finally spilled the beans about the issue to my ADON. I proposed that the CNA on my hall can't get the job done. She is also communicating threats about the supervisor. I love my job and this situation just makes me sick. It makes me sick that this man can take the mind of such a young girl and make her violent and obsessed. I don't know if anything is going to come of this situation. Just pray for me guys. This CNA is a "buck 05" soak and wet but she has been known to do some dangerous things.
