I just recently got fired from my job at a nursing and rehab facility due to being late. The reason I had been late the last couple of times is the fact that number 1 I had to walk 2 miles everyday to work and number 2 my husband just recently had knee surgery done and I was trying to make sure that he was situated before leaving for work. I loved what I did and I love being a CNA. I may have been late quite a bit because of having to walk but at least I showed up and I did the work. I would go in early when they needed me too and I would stay over even if it wasn't my turn to stay over. I worked mainly 2pm to 10pm and there would be some nights where I wouldn't leave until 11:30 at night and have to walk all the way home. Some days I would go in and work 12 and 16 hour shifts. I am really desperate for work being that I am the only one who is working right now because of my husband not being able to go back to work until the end of this month. I really need a job but my only issue is that some people won't hire me because of having to walk to and from work everyday.
My mistake was expecting and trusting management to properly handle the abuse of medications and residents. After the first event I should have reported it to DAD's rather going through the chain of management hoping it would stop while putting the other residents at risk of becoming the staff members victims. Would you know it she quit and did a no call no show when I made it known I was taking it higher! And standing my ground! Still nothing was ever done and there were no protocols to prevent it from happening again. I was told to never speak of it again; except the pattern was continued by another co-worker who was a sister of management. The ending result; they did nothing! So I quit! Called the police and DAD's. My mistake was not calling sooner!
Watch your back. If you see evidence of abuse report it, if nothing is done do not hesitate turn it into DAD's immediately! There are times I regret not telling the residents family of the ill acts towards their loved ones. After all they are trusting you to care for their loved ones to love and protect them!
My advice would be no apply somewhere else the bosses don’t care and your lucky if they treat you right you’ll be left alone most of the time
Putting my job first instead of my family which was very wrong my job didn’t care the more bodies to work who cares
Transportation, you have to be driving to work there. I wasn’t driving so it was a big mistake for me to work there.
