I used to work 11 pm to 7 am at my first job as a CNA. we had over 100 residents in this facility. one morning, I was asked to get up another res who was not normally mine.

the evening before, I had seen him use a fork to eat so I knew he was capable of holding objects to his face.

we got him and dressed, when it was time to help with his grooming, I put the toothpaste on HIS ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH mind you.

he looked at it and asked if I was planning on doing it for him. I still had other care to do on residents that actually needed me to change them. when I refused and mentioned he could do it himself, he went on a tirade and asked that I leave his room and they get someone else to go and help him.

a nurse I working with (I grew up with her so I already knew her we) asked why I didn’t help him. I mentioned the part about independence, no using it/loosing it stuff.

she said “well we spoil them sometimes.”

regardless, what would you of done in my position?

am I the only one here why has worked agency? I don’t think I am.. has anyone else worked with Shiftkey llc? r/shiftkey

you can find out more about how credit. h exams works and the material I posted in a short off

there are new developments EVERYWHERE!!! there are still empty office/housing space is everywhere, but there is still more crap going up

I am all for having everything we need around us but I can’t believe no one else thinks dozing entire city blocks from trees to concrete is a good idea?!!!!

CLARIFICATION

one thing I really want to stress is the difference in how hydration makes u feel. before, when I would exercise my limbs would burn and feel like weights I was carrying around. Now I feel like running everywhere all the time. I feel lighter, more mentally aware and motivated vs dreading getting up and doing things ..

I was already feeling better but today, I have a lot better mental clarity. I have been taking magnesium along with other supplements.

i feel like I could get up and go run a marathon even though I know my body is not in shape for it. that is how much energy and mental clarity I have this morning.

I got down to 182 lbs. this morning I am 186. it is more than likely water weight since I put more water in my body yesterday, I am thinking. I need to measure my body but haven’t in a couple of weeks.

i just wanted to post this small update. I have begun walking 10k steps again since yesterday. I am also doing a mini-stair stepper that can be found Here on amazon for less than $30. (Beats a gym membership).

anyway. I am so looking forward to what the future holds in store..

can we take a minute to talk about preparing ourselves overall health wise for life And/or exams including CLEP?

making changes in my diet and habits as far as drinking a lot more water, exercise, and supplements as part of my weight loss journey, I am still poking over CLEP material.

I am just finding it sticking more to my brain with the lifestyle changes I have made and I really like it.

i hope this helps anyone reflect on how to help themselves more

how many of you make rounds when you’re coming onto your shift or going home? I saw another post where this practice would solve some problems.

i have worked at plenty of places where this was very effective and saved a lot of bitching and misery.

i have also pissed off 2-10 shift at leisure lodge in Coleman when I worked there in 2007. we had a guy with a colostomy bag. it would just so happen that his bowels would move just around 5 - 10 minutes before 10’ clock. the first 2 nights I walked into it, it was a HUGE MESS!! I figured out that if I got there right before it happened, it would save me ALOT of misery. the only thing was, the 2-10 shift would get mad at me for insisting they change his colostomy bag, even when I would help them with it. I mean REALLY?!!

that is why I love being able to make rounds at this time! otherwise, the ongoing shift couldn’t bitch about what was left from the previous shift. there was an understanding that if u didn’t get your butt in there and make rounds, you were accepting the hall the way it was.

what do you think about this? is it a good practice or too much trouble? I understand if it isn’t necessary because the previous shift u work with does a great job!

this is another question I have. we held hands to cross the street or parking lot.

one day, coming out of academy, this couple let their child ride his new bike out the door, if the person driving the car hadn’t been going slow, the kid would got hit. he came out from behind one of the pillars that are at the front of the academy store.

parenting is so different. it seems like a lot of parents are nieve about the things that can and have happened to kids. I didn’t say they were bad or ignorant. I JUST DONT THINK THEY THINK ABOUT THINGS OR ARE AWARE OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN!

my kids are grown and both closing in on 30 years old. when they were little, I would get gas at Murphys gas station.

most of the time I got gas when i was coming/going to work/home.

there was only 1 time that i left then in my suv. I parked at the pump closest to the pay booth, got out and paid for my gas. Hurried to get back and pump the gas and leave.

the entire time I was out of my suv, I had my eyes on them the entire time I was in line. I paid for my gas, got back to my suv and left. The kids were NEVER out of my sight.

was this a bad or questionable thing?

1. When I was 25, the facility I worked out didn’t normal keep CNAS on a single hall. There 4 halls. Only 1 hall kept the same CNAS because of the “super nurse on the hall out in the request for the 2 CNAS she had to stay on that hall. (Except when they were off then the rotation worked the same).

the schedule I worked 4 on 1 off, 4 on 2 off, 3 on 2 off, 3 on 2 off. This rotation would give us every 3rd weekend off.

There was not much continuity of care from the same people but the CNA rotation was so that every CNA knew nearly every resident in the building.

When I would work with 1 nurse, Marcia, she always complimented me. She finally requested me and another aide to be hers all the time. Her justification was that the other nurse had 2 single favs so she wanted 2 favs.

The girl I was requested to be kept with quit. The next aide that came to the hall was worthless. She would always disappear into another room on another hall. When Marcia would see me, she knew I couldn’t refuse her request to help her with the other aide’s patient.

It seemed like it just got worse, the more I did her work!! I finally got tired of doing her work all of the time (I don’t mind helping or doing something if the aide is busy) while they are off on another hall avoiding work. The aide accused me of being bossy and trying to tell her how to work to everyone. She made it to where no one that knew any better wanted to work with me. 😒finally, a girl named Angela, was assigned to work with me. Initially, she didn’t want to work with me because of what the other aide (Inez) said about me. I told her though at the beginning “if you need any help, just let me know I will help you. If you any questions don’t be afraid to ask.”

At the end of the night, she confessed that other people had said the things Inez had said about me. It made her dread coming to work with me. She said that it was BS and that she didn’t want to work with anyone else!

Another place I worked,

seriously! i poated about 75 hard on r/loseit and OMG, the backlash!! I see the real point of it. it isn’t just about loosing weight. it’s about disciplining ourselves to do inconvenient things for self betterment and built mental toughness overall.

i think i already have mental toughness, just not for self-discipline on health.

I live in central Texas. since 2020, we have lived in the same house. the first spring we were here, we had around 2 mud nests on the porch.

2026, there are at least 4 - 6 just on the house. who knows how many others there are that I dont know about.

anyway, yesterday I was watering the plants on the porch and noticed one or the mud nests had fallen. I thought the babies had already left it.

my husband got the water hose and started washing off all of the bird poop while I had just finished mowing.

he found 2 babies an I guess they were out of the fallen nest. I didn’t research anything. I just picked them up and stuck them in another nest where I saw little beaks and heads sticking out.

afterwards, I researched adoption habits if any. the internet said it wasn’t a common habit of purple martins. I thought ”well, its a little late now.. I will just see what happens. if nothing else the worst they do is throw them out of the nest and then I can call a rehab for them.”

WELL! this morning, I went out there and ALL of the babies (there were 3 before and the 2 I added, now 5) are all facing out. it seems like they did get adopted.

nature is crazy sometimes. I am assuming they are being fed and “loved” because they seem content. I can’t tell which ones I put in and which ones were there.

I will definitely be more cautious in the future if this accidentLt happens again.

my heart hurts and I am crying over seeing hanky dog in such discomfort. it is the first time seeing him this miserable.

I am having major problems with the “find my phone” software. my husband works all over lake travis and I need this feature to work. he is not any good with sharing his location or tech in general!

a couple of weeks ago, this feature really dropped the ball because my husband and his worker had a serious accident while working. my husband called me to call 911 and send medics to his location!

I could see them. thankfully, the customer was down there and called for 911 help. if she had not been there I dont know what would of happened.

I REALLY NEED this feature to work. I have already turned on location services on mine/his phones. unshared and then reshared locations between us several times and still, when I go to see him, I get the message “location not found.”

this is BS! between QB, iOS products and a host of other apps constantly changing things for the worse, I spend alot of time trying to figure out the updates vs being productive!

my QUICKBOOKS kept sending “please review us” notifications. I finally got tired of all the shit updates. I was like “f” it. they won’t care but I am going to be raf so let’s do this.

I literally told them their product was going shit. the changes weren’t better, they were worse. I told them the best version they had was around 2010 but only has gotten worse since then.

the operator kept saying “this call is being recorded and audited.” (still not sure if that was a threat.) I told him “awesome! that’s good.”

I also told him like three different time to make sure to visit r/quickbooks because there is ALOT OF criticism on this sub!

hopefully they will visit this sub lol.

anyway. that was my experience. I dont know if any of u will like/dislike this post but at the very least, it seems like someone is paying attention. it might not hurt to review and tell them how everything in the software is going to shit in the updates. maybe enough of us screaming the same thing will finally get results.. 🤷‍♀️
