I work as a CNA and today I had a resident who was very combative and abusive. She's always like this, she doesn't cooperate and acts wild and crazy. I have scratch marks all over my arm from her, one is really bad. Well she fell out of her wheelchair when I tried pushing her to her bed. She was sitting kinda on the edge. She has an alarm on her chair and a belt type thing that goes around her waist. Another aide earlier in the night put her in the chair after she tried getting out her bed but never put her belt on her and I did not see that. Anyways she fell out and I got in alot of trouble. They acted like she wasnt crazy and that her insanity doesnt have anything to do with her falling. They didnt even care that I had scratches all over me. I even tried showing one of the supervisors and all he did was look at give me a dirty look then looked away. My arm hurts right now. I wanna take legal action so bad but I know that would be stupid cause that type of thing is expectd in a nursing home. What do u think of the situation?

They're just mad they have to explain what happened to her family, it makes them look bad. Regardless, they shouldn't be acting like that to you, accidents happen. All you can do it just bite your tongue and get over it. **** happens.
