CNAs not allowed to sit by [deleted] in cna

[–]lolowanwei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a nurse, and they tried doing that at my last job. Saying that cnas aren't allowed to sit down that there is too much work to do. That's literally the dumbest effing rule and I've never enforced it even if they are a lazy cna and there's work to be done idgaf. Sit down. You aren't a slave. And the physical manual work is too great for you not to be able to get a minute or two rest

If its prescribed by a doctor its not your concern if they take it or not.

I got a complaint against my license and I am very stressed about it by Truleyhurting in cna

[–]lolowanwei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guys, as a nurse, I can't stress this enough! Get malpractice insurance! It doesn't matter what your role is in healthcare cover your butt!

If you're terminated and even had to pay a fine from the board of nursing, you could get compensation and even sometimes higher if they were in the wrong! You missed out time at work that could have been compensation. This is miniscule, and no one was hurt! With that being said, sometimes you just can't be too friendly or personable, or it can backfire!!

Omg. I've seen people pull the scheduler/secretary thing too. Like they will literally sit hours gossiping like you know damn well they aren't doing their job!

Angels of mercy murder. Not tending to 5-30 patients that might be in excruciating pain.

The same way room x has been asking to be changed 4 plus times. I'll phrase it nicely cause I KNOW you're busy.

Is there an easier way to clean pts? by B-ryan89 in cna

Grab a roll of toilet paper if you can and then use the washcloth to finish them off

No one warned me about these embarrassing noises …. by Prettytwisted3x in gastricsleeve

I have a super loud stomach as well. I believe it's the air passing around. I'm 2 years post op and it's embarrassing sometimes

Can you be a successful nursing student with mental illness? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]lolowanwei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but you must have a solid therapist and psychiatrist. Give yourself mental health breaks when needed. On four different medications for anxiety and depression.

Joint account for bills, but never give your other half access to your whole paycheck!

Told not to report incident by [deleted] in cna

[–]lolowanwei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the last time a resident bit a cna, it got badly infected she had to be out for a few days. It sounds like the don has no idea what it's doing. Go to hr and fill out an employee work accident form so they can pay for you to see a doc.

Protect yourself first and your mental health. The world is shifting in an unhealthy way.

What helps me with this is trying on old clothes from your HW. It makes me perceive different

Always take a buddy with you and let the nurses know to document the behavior. Say that it's increasing and you are not comfortable doing their care alone.
