You won't be effecting by too much of this. New aides usually aren't. Just do your work as you're trained and be aware of the aides who are negative. You'll figure out who they are soon enough. Steer clear of them. Awe relax Robert. You won’t be effecting by too much of this. New aides usually aren’t. Just do your work as you’re trained and be aware of the aides who are negative.

Reading these comments is kinda making me think that this may be too rough for me. I did read it fast because its late. I will reread this more carefully when i get time. It has been enlightening though. I’m a recent graduate of a CNA program. Reading these comments is kinda making me think that this may be too rough for me.

I work weekends, 2 back to back 16 hour shifts. It's tough- those are long days for sure. Mondays are my dead day...I wake up around 3pm and slowly come back to life. The rest of the week I'm pretty busy- with my hobbies and classes I'm taking. Also, my kids keep me running even though they are all in college.

Kevin is welcome here when he can show he's capable of being respectful even in disagreement. I thought, by mistake that he and I had come to those terms over at the forum. Agree to disagree type of thing, with respect for the others ideas. Guess I was wrong. I know he can do better. And so does he. Your welcome Mary.

It would really really SUCK to have a group of bosses who so ignore every issue, who trample upon your concerns, it would SO wear me down. When anyone is in this situation, they should LEAVE and get another job. For their own well being. Sometimes bad attitudes have worked at a place for SO long, the bosses chose to disregard the BA...for a reason... mary I have thought of that as the basis of the problem.

(for banning Kevin) I've also worked with people like him. They don't last long in any one place. But maybe he is working for a very BAD Manager because a good manager would see what a trouble maker he is and fired him! If he acts the same way at work as he does on this website how could he ever keep a job. I know sometime for management it is a matter of having a warm body to work but at some point with someone like him you have to cost your losses and get rid of them. Thanks Patti!

At the very least I would question someone who appears to be as angry as Kevin is safe working with frail residents, who tend to be demanding either in care needs or mannerisms. I would not trust him with anyone in a nursing home, based on what I read of his own words. His anger shines through, sarcasm and demeaning nature. If he gets mad a boss types who wear suits, who knows what he does with a resident who has a college degree and who once wore a suit. Or a resident who bucks him...gets testy...refuses care...tells him to get lost. Then again he is all talk and no action as we have seen. He's a coward for sure. Good advice for Kevin, Holly.

Get real. Not everyone HAS to be the CNA nor should they be. I am sorry you had such a bad night but I guarantee you it wasn't nearly as bad a working a day shift short. You don't even know what work is until you've done that. I am sorry the day shift darlings gave you a hard time (I am assuming this even though you don't give detail)..when I go to work and hear 3rd shift worked short I don't gripe. I know very few aides who would do that. Kevin on your days off and time away from work what do you do? Spend time resting in your soft warm bed, I bet. With your family? (if you have one which I kindof doubt)...thats what I do. Gee whiz you are a blow hard with no strength behind your arguments. Bitter, bitter man you are. You're gonna die young too cause the bitterness will takr its toll on you. Get some help. See a coucelor or someone. Also I advise you to get a different job not in nursing. YOu can't handle this work. ever hear of anger management classes? Consider those too. Kevin said:
