             NURSES: PART 4. The sharing of an Administrator of a large Assisted living facility and her struggles.  

            This is the sharing of  a 30 year Registered Nurse.

             I'll respect her wish and not say her name or location. 


                 Here's what she shared with me/

                 Thank you. Mark for reading what I sent to you and wishing to put my shit out on your blog! 


                    I'm a Nursing Admin in a large Assisted Living Facility on the West of (Location deleted to protect the provider and their wish for anonymity.) 

                   It is my duty/job to cover all scheduling bases  24/7  a week, deal with call-offs, no-call no-shows and medical leaves of absence that HR NEVER FUCKING TELLS ME ABOUT! 

                 It is my job to make sure each of our Residents/Patients are covered and well taken care of ALL OF THE TIME. 

                 FOR FUCKS SAKE! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED 3 YEARS AGO WITH COVID?!?!

                 We hire Nursing Aides that maybe show up two our of every five days of work/

                 LPN's that only have to work 3 twelve hour shifts a week  calling off for a stubbed toe or. forgive me for saying: 'Seriously Painful Period" when I know they are in their late 50's of ago! 

                I get reports from  wonderful LPN's that tell me some of the Aides are getting "Frisky" with the residents, perhaps touching their bodies in inappropriate ways.

                 Sure,  I log this information, forward it to HR for appropriate action as I know little will change.

                   WE are so desperate  for a work force, and I so struggle with this all day long, We no longer do BACKGROUND CHECKS for future employees.  We have fired a few Aides for attempting to have sex with residents/patients after their families reported this to us. THESE THINGS SHOULD NOT HAVE EVER POSSILBY HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!! 

              Mark ,  I wonder if I would be happier  and    better at (location hidden) in an Emergency Room  merely removing Motts Apple Sauce Jars, dead hamsters and Lake Erie fish from male rectums.,  I know that sounds disgusting, vile and very wrong, yet still this should tell you what I think.

             Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts. 

              -(name withheld)  Struggling and Hoping. 


       I wish to humbly thank you for your written thoughts and all else  on my blog. Hugs and BY ALL FUCKING MEANS: KEEP THE FAITH AND SPIRIT IN YOUR HEART ALIVE IN ALL  YOU DO!
