Friendly reminder that healthcare work sucks specifically nursing homes

[AFRAM GLORY]

So not recently but when I was under a different company our bed sores were so bad they (tried) made us do a list every time we turned someone (left, back,right) then someone would come in the morning to see if we was doing it. Some of these people don't get out of bed at all and it's crazy to me cause you deserve at least an hour (that might be all they can handle) I got a Lady and she's been in the bed since 2019...

There's so many bs politics involved in short and long-term nursing. You could be an ethical staff member who plays by the rules 100% and still get fukked over by sh1tty management, corporations, and owners.

Meaning, you can turn residents all day on worn down mattresses and the stage wounds will still happen. Wound care doctors prescribing scoop and air mattress orders for damn near an entire hall(and facility) and management leaves you out to dry because ownership will not allow central supply to order or rent mattresses.

And that wound care team/doctor will report the facility to state. But some how when state survey window is open, ownership and management budge just enough to avoid tags and moratoriums

CNAs hoarding supplies to waste and nurses just playing the game just as worse. Management team stabbing each other in the back and the team is split because the the administrator and DON are trying their best to push each other out of the facility.

CNA wars over sections, supplies, and cattyness. You are not going to find relief in the higher acuity psychiatric field either unless you have the mindstate that you are going in that field to cash in and get out. Codes will be called all day and you will be doing multiple booty juice takedowns and de-escalating gotham arkham and correctional baker acts and marchman acts per shift.

Do you have a recovery center nearby? Most tend to be lower acuity, no touch facilities. I'd advise that over psychiatric care.

Elderly abuse I've seen ONE time in my span it was some young girl she was throwing dirty diapers in this lady face and giving her the finger. Took the roomate three months to finally find the courage to complain. Honestly tho it's the other way around these old folks talk crazy to you sometimes and you be having to catch yourself.

My cousin is an RN at a hosp. Last week on FB she posted that she damn near broke because evidently some patient said some wild racist shyt to her. She said it wasn’t the 1st time something like this had happened with a patient but this one caught her at a bad time and she couldn’t take it anymore.

She‘s bounced back since then but said she’s getting tired of it.

Alot of them are just rude..call you a nikka then ask you for help. I got into with a resident cause he kept pissing his pants and kept wanting to put a new pair on ( this is night time and he's in bed) I said bro you're not making it to the urinal in time and it's probably cause of them pants it's no need. He told me fukk off he pay for me to be here...and I need to listen to what he says.. one thing about me I'll walk out the room right then and there and report it to my nurse. Have them fix the situation.
