TALES FROM THE NURSING HOME

Well, the nursing home has been shocked tonight. At least one state inspector came in after 7pm. finding section 1 with only one CNA. There is no telling how short staffed we really were tonight. The inspectors usually talk to me and Denise when they come through during the day and we've been telling them that we are always fully staffed during the day. If they want to catch the problems, its the night shift that is ALWAYS short staffed. As soon as the inspector walked in, the supervising nurse was on the phone trying to call people in. I don't know if she was successful or not.
