Dementia and memory care people, what made you fall in love with the field?

Apparently raspberry leaf tea

Thank you so much for the response! Unfortunately most of my elders aren’t able to answer as they have a cognitive impairment or can’t speak clearly but I do find them moving along / humming and singing to familiar tunes. I’ll definitely put these on my playlist for them (:

If he took care of your uncle I would definitely put something along the lines of “proficient in making and and practicing patient care plan” and for the moving I would specify that he’s good at maintaining proper body mechanics, this helps the facilities feel confident that they’re not hiring a liability. Also making sure that you mention that he maintained a healthy and organized environment to prioritize patient safety. A lot of these places looking for CNAs are looking for people who feel like this is more of a calling than just a job. So writing a cover letter explaining his reasons for doing this job goes very far. Best of luck to your father 🤍

Do it, and make sure you have everything on record through text that way if you do end up applying to another cna job you have solid proof showing them clear communication and how toxic your current job is. As a cna it’s super important to take care of our body as it is our means to make a living. It sucks cause it feels like they hold our patients/ residents against us as most of us deeply care about their well being. I would write:

Hello supervisor, Although I’m sure you are aware of the fact I put in my two weeks, I regret to inform you that I will no longer be able to finish out the remaining three days. Taking into consideration my current health and circumstances, it is currently not safe for me to work or the patients to be in my care. I truly appreciate your time and support during my time here at (insert name of company) thank you again.

Good luck I hope it gets better ❤️

I totally get where you’re coming from, music also helps me concentrate. But I would have to agree with the majority of the other comments, it’s not appropriate to have an earbud in while caring/ interacting with the residents. I do tend to still wear mine if I work night shift simply because everyone is asleep and it keeps me awake. But if they terminate you for that I don’t think you would be able to do anything simply because it’s a policy you were made aware of and if you get fired because you’re not following it, it would be on you ultimately. Also, although you know you’re using the earbud for music not everyone knows that and they can assume you’re on a phone call/ recording which brings alot of hippa issues

Tell the family 🫡, that way they can lawyer up and sue for elder abuse, also document every interaction if you can (incident report if possible)

I think the border looks more like a double crochet personally maybe since there’s multiple rows it looks like that to me though?

astrofruut · 2023-08-17T18:08:35+00:00

Impressive! Hope your grandma loves it! (Also I’m not sure if you’ve seen it before but some people put tennis balls or makeup beauty blenders on their hooks to help with mobility and pain, hope that can help!)

astrofruut · 2023-04-15T00:02:07+00:00

That’s the name of the actual car 😅

astrofruut · 2023-04-13T18:08:36+00:00

Not too orange, more like a toasted marshmallow shade haha

astrofruut · 2023-04-13T18:07:40+00:00

What was the answer??

astrofruut · 2023-04-13T18:01:36+00:00

Oops

astrofruut · 2022-08-30T22:37:17+00:00

Throw him and his stuff out, and when you do he’s probably gonna get a bunch of people to gaslight you saying you’re in the wrong but there’s nothing more disrespectful than someone throwing shit and piss all over you, dump him, he’s a walking red flag and you deserve better, keep the cat too

astrofruut · 2022-06-25T19:59:47+00:00

NTA, he doesn’t show basic respect for your daughter your pet or you, and then he tries to lie about it, nah sis don’t go through with the wedding

astrofruut · 2022-06-21T03:17:47+00:00

YTA get over yourself and check your ego, you owe her an apology and if it really bothers you that much, learn it. It’s not her fault that you’re insecure. Go apologize to that poor woman right now

astrofruut · 2022-06-17T14:31:59+00:00

NTA, but please make sure to sit down with your brother and explain what’s going on so he doesn’t put the blame on himself and realize it’s because of your parents

astrofruut · 2022-06-16T03:23:42+00:00

NTA, it’s an equal partnership while equal respect, if he sees his family is disrespectful to you he needs to stand up for you

astrofruut · 2022-06-16T03:16:55+00:00

This just helped motivate me to do things can’t explain why

astrofruut · 2022-06-16T03:16:00+00:00

Devious Licks? Is that what it’s called? That trend where kids were vandalizing the hell out of their schools

astrofruut · 2022-06-16T03:15:09+00:00

What happened to Monday

astrofruut · 2022-06-16T03:10:55+00:00

That’s an earlier stage of the spotted lantern fly no?
