I'm in a Westchester County, NY nursing facility and the other day they cut down on CNA's on each floor. On the 3-11 pm shift is outrageous only 1 female CNA 1 male CNA. The men can't care for women so he gets all the men while the woman gets all females that's about 26 females and 15 of them are total Care. Before I email the state I want to know how many patients can 1 CNA have?
Have you raised this issue with the facility's managers?
And I'm sure the female nurses care for the men who live there, why can't the male nurse care for the female residents?
Talk to the manager of the facility for an accurate explanation would be my suggestion.
