Workload @ your facility

I was wondering for everyone else here, what shift they worked and what the workload was, meaning patient ratio + routine (meals, showers, etc.)

I work evening shift and we typically have 12-14 residents, with one meal (dinner :p) and we're assigned 3-4 showers a piece. Does this sound about the norm for evening shift?

    I work evenings and it's LTC and rehab, about 2/3 rehab 1/3 LTC, but all but one wing have a mix of both. It's up to 8 per CNAs usually depending on room occupancy, isolation, etc. Though one assignment can get up to 10 residents. Sometimes they cut one of the CNA assignments too, then a few other CNAs can end up with 10 residents as well (doesn't seem to happen often).

    Anywhere from 1-3 shower or baths. Usually when a CNA has more than 2 showers/baths, others juggle around to try and help out with the third one.

    Tonight I had 7 people and 1 shower - that's pretty average.

    The other night I had 2 showers with my 8 residents, and someone else on my hall kept sweetly offering to do my second shower because she didn't have any that night. (I did both fine myself, but it's nice that people are so willing to pitch in if you get bogged down.)
