So, I’ve
been sitting on this for a bit, because it’s serious on a couple levels, and I
wanted to let it marinate a bit.
I had a
chick tell me she didn’t want to cath me, because she’s a CAN, and it’s against
the law.
OK, I get
laws and wanting to keep a license she worked hard for, but on the same note, I
also know how to keep my mouth shut. I’ve
been playing the provider game for 25+ years, I know what to do and what not to
do took keep a provider or how to get rid of one.
Given that,
she showed her hand…essentially, telling me she can’t keep her mouth shut. Her boss already knows she needs to cath me
FIRST before we clean up, dress, and get up.
SO, it’s not like I’m doing anything shady. Hell, she super’s a nurse, so he KNOWS the
rules.
She pulled
the 20-year
experience card while instructing me the difference between a provider and
a CAN. That told me she thinks highly of
herself, because she’s a “CNA,” she’s above doing some stuff. Yeah, we’ll see about that.
My 25+ years
trumps her experience. If she’d caught
me 25 years ago, I’d’ve clicked on her ass.
Instead, I’m 42, and a LITTLE more grown up, so I bit my tongue…that
bitch hurt too!
The fix:
Now, I’ve got a nurse that comes in to cath me and give me my meds before the
provider/CAN finishes up. OK, I can deal
even though no crip wants everybody and God knowing their business. Ideally, it’s an A and B affair. We do our thing…end of story. The ONLY way ANYONE knows what goes on is if
one of us talks, BUT THAT’S HIPPA! Until
recently, I haven’t had an issue for a LONG time.
Like I said,
I can play the game, so I trust her ass just enough to get our shit done, but I’m
not sharing anything I don’t want broadcast, because, OBVIOUSLY, she can’t keep
her mouth shut. If random stuff gets
brought up from her super that I haven’t told him personally, we’re have
issues.
Have any of
you guys had problems with peeps talking?
Guys, know the game, play it to work for you. Keep your shit safe within your walls.
Be good to
each other.
