You give RN's a bad name...

I work alone in an ALF and have a whole wing to myself. I'm a CNA but work as a Personal Care Assistant bc the night nurses at my job are rude and dont bother checking residents. Literally, they will be playing solitaire and will see a call light and will wait for a CNA to come back from break to tell them they need to take care of it. Anyway, one night For some unknown reason, a RN's ventured from the skilled nursing wing and peeked in on me to make sure i was not sleeping. mind you i NEVER sleep. NEVER. last week i saw a nurse peek in (mind you the fire door is about a city block from where my desk is). about 5 min later, i get a call from the nurses station and a person yelled "WAKE UP!!" and hangs up the phone. I lose it. even if i was sleeping, how could you tell if my eyes were open or not???? UGH! i was sitting in a chair!!! i go over there and demanded to know who called me. of course all i heard were crickets. i was ****** i asked again, and one of the nurses said "i mightve called you by mistake.." this is the kind of stuff that makes some NA's hate some nurses. why would you do that? why??? especially when you are not even my supervisor and work in a different wing?!?!?!?? Obviously, they dont have enough work to do.
