I have a resident who is a 1:1 and her son comes in every night. He does not give her any care whatsoever. We'll be super busy and instead of respectfully approaching one of us to ask for help he'll come into the hallway and yell, demanding someone come in to change her or take her to the bathroom. He's clearly frustrated with her but its like... how tf do you think we feel sitting with her for over 12 hours PLUS still needing to take a group and get that done?

It floored me when I heard this guy yell "HEY MAN CAN SOMEONE TAKE HER TO THE BATHROOM LIKE RIGHT NOW?" Sir... what's preventing you from taking her yourself? It's right next to you and she can stand to get on the toilet by herself, just guide her to the bathroom?? I dont understand, if you're not going to help with her care and you're visibly frustrated with her to the point you're on the edge of giving up why are you even here? Im gonna be blunt here but you're just getting in the way at this point.

Context: I only work in the psych unit and there's a situation going on in my facility where assignments arent being delegated appropriately and basically giving people a harder time vs giving others assignments where they essentially have to do nothing. For example I had to do a 1:1 but still had to help do rounds (because depending on who you ask the 1:1 for this man isnt even necessary) then the next day while we're short staffed i was expected to do the entire unit by myself while the person doing a 1:1 for the same resident did nothing but sit in front of their door the entire shift and management sided with them.

Well, a coworker was trying to get in touch with union about this same thing happening to them and the DON and Admin were giving him the runaround over the phone and not just simply giving him the number. The nurse on his unit told him to leave the floor to get the number from downstairs and during that time a resident fell and she immediately calls the DON to complain that nobody was on the floor to prevent it.

Now the Admin is saying if he doesnt accept the assignment then it's neglect and he'll lose his license. Is that actually true or is she just threatening him to get him to stay for his shift? All of the aides (except for the girl who gets a cake walk sit down and sleep all night assignment) are pissed and ready to walk tonight.
