I know Suzette and can't believe she would make this story up. I can't imagine Mercy would do this either...maybe just a few volunteers are doing this. Who knows! I like shopping at Castaways none the less!

Why would the "leaders" listen about the Redmen issue,they sure as heck didn't listen to the majority who were against the ethanol plant. That is a different story altogether.
I was (am) a Redman,thank God! Class of 81, thank you.

I think this blog needs to end - it has gotten totally out of hand. Wasn't this supposed to be about a person leaving their child at the police station? Kudos to whoever did that too! I find the blogging here quite interesting - heck I would even pay to keep reading all you guys' posts! Makes my day!

Grandma,have you actually ever been a CNA? It is not about painting nails and getting them into activities, BUT they do that sometimes! It involves tending to their needs (not just physical),feeding them,bathing them,listening to them when they find out they have cancer and need someone to talk to,it is about holding their hand when they are dying or afraid of dying! NOT JUST ABOUT WIPING THEIR BUTTS! The CNAs are so much more than that! They are the MOST UNDERPAID UNDERAPPRECIATED STAFF in hospitals and nursing homes! They are the eyes and ears of the patients! How much time does an RN spend ACTUALLY with a patient compared the a CNA - 5-10% of the time I would say! CNAs usually are the ones who notice breathing changes,skin breakdowns,changes in mental status and sensing their patient may be having a stroke! Don't get me wrong, the RNs do some of that but the aids are the ones who spent ALOT more time ACTUALLY WITH THE PATIENTS! IMHO it seems RNs are about mainly paperwork nowadays! A good majority of the RNs are "above" emptying a bedpan or wiping a dirty butt! Guess who gets that job? Do I have to tell ya? (Thought not!) Do not get me wrong! I work at Mercy and there are great RNs who are not afraid to do that! That is a small percentage though. I have been a CNA for YEARS in all kinds of facilities! I have done the nail painting,hand holding,butt wiping and all that stuff and so much more. That is our JOB ....as CNAs AND as fellow human beings! I miss being a CNA at the hospital (although I still work there),I miss the patients and their families. But what I don't miss is the misconception of what CNAs do or what people think they should do,OVERWORKED AND UNDERPAID! THE CNAS AT MERCY BUST THEIR BUTTS! Sure...as with any job there are great ones and ones that I wouldn't let take care of my dead dog! And BTW I know Karri in the picture and she is a WONDERFUL COMPASSIONATE nurse who is not afraid to get her hands (gloved of course) in the crap and other fun stuff that comes along with nursing! She is a very compassionate nurse who I love working with when I get chance. So before any of you have the nerve to say CNAs are just about butt wiping and emptying bedpans,why don't you spend some time working with a CNA and then you will change your mind about what CNAs are all about!!!!!!
