Yes on the RIS it says to use the Sabina or the Sara lift, it offers the option of both. Now that we've found her arm is fractured we're using the Vander lift because it's less stress on the arm. It's just worrisome because they've questioned me multiple times and today informed me that state is being involved and they will want to question me as well. I feel like the way they're acting I just shouldn't have ever said anything at all, and let the woman suffer. but i'm not an asshole so i didn't do that. I did what I was supposed to and what I felt was right, immediately getting the charge nurse to let her know my resident was in distress and now there's all this damn mess. So another piece I guess I'll tell you about. Perhaps 2 months ago, a woman about 95 years old I think had a UTI and has a permanent catheter. I was changing her day bag to her night bag, and after she asked if she could see my hand. it was odd, but i thought she wanted to maybe have some sort of reassurance or whatever perhaps wanting to shake my hand. So I put my hand out, she proceeds to take my hand and push it towards her genitals asking me "touch me...touch me" .. .that freaked me out so I immediately pulled away said no this is not okay to do and ran out of the room to get the nurse. on the way out she slapped me in my rear. the nurse came in to talk to her, and the woman acted like she couldn't hear anything the nurse was saying (a move I've noticed a lot of people do when they are frustrated and don't want to talk with nurses/CNA's), and said "Ok thanks see you tomorrow goodbye" and dismissed her from her room. 1 month later I'm called into administration office with admin, DON, and ADON questioning me because what had happened was 'very out of character'. I said perhaps she was attracted to me I really don't know why she did what she did. Well, just last night she has a UTI and starts literally talking to her hallucinations, her hallucinations were telling her to pull her catheter out and other things, and she was screaming things like "JESUS SAVES' at the top of her lungs for all the hall to hear. they said what happened with me was out of character, but apparently what she did last night in having a FULL ON conversation with no one at all and screaming all night about Jesus is in character? i don't get it. i truly feel like my work is trying to pin shit on me so they don't have to deal with it from state. It's truly worrying and if they fire me I lose my damn house. I don't know what to do at this point and it's very upsetting. my wife is completely upset with my work and also with me, i don't know what to do. I've done everything right as I felt I was to do. I don't go in the woman's room anymore that tried to get me to be sexual with her. last night I stood at the entrance of her door because she saw my walking by her room and started hollering at me to talk to her. I didn't go in to her room or anything like that but there's that situation as well. I'm not trying to toot my own horn or anything but i suppose i would be considered more on the attractive side than not and I really believe that's what that situation was about. she has a crush on me. fine no big deal but they kinda inferred that i instigated that situation and now i feel like this one is another that I'm going to get screwed over for.
I followed all protocol to the T... but regardless it feels like they're using me as a scapegoat.
