Come to our area - we are DYING without good CNAs and physical therapists around here.Ugh, work. I am currently unemployed, i.e., displaced, as my place of employment was closed. I was/am a CNA plus an Activities Director for long term skilled nursing facilities. It is a bit of a step up from a regular nursing home. I also did Restorative Therapy.
I am looking into going back to school myself for Physical Therapy.
I don't know what your problem is - I am the one who had to do all the throwing and punching in class. All you had to do was fall and cover your head.
Uhh... That's rough. We have many senior care facilities in the area, and many medical groups that provide senior care. Huge senior population here in the Asheville area. But medical professional contingent is slim.Oh that is a nationwide thing. It is crazy. The pay is usually not very good anywhere. We do it because we like to care for people, but better pay would be nice.
There are a few local homes I can go to, it is just deciding if I want to or not. The reputation proceeds a couple of them, None of the aides that were laid off will go work there. :/
It is physically and mentally draining, not sure if I want to do that again yet, getting attached and watching them die. I loved the restorative part, helping people recover.
Right now I am helping my Grandmother, we are in the midst of testing for dementia/alzheimers that I unfortunately have lots of experience with recognizing.
Is there any way to settle this through trial by combat?
Yeah, but you'd get a golden star for participation.
we get constantly getting screeched at 'you'll get written up'
It did get better once I became an Activities Director.
well, I do provide a floor show for the customers!I used to say, "that's it, I quit!" at least once a week. Sometimes once a shift.
Was theoretically in competition for a promotion. Had mixed feelings anyway -- but end result was the clique won, and with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight and a clue-by-four or two, I was never really in the race anyway. Nothing to do with qualifications, but I can see a 3 year pattern of making sure that nobody threatened the anointed one...
