I have a question for those who have, or are senior CNAs in their facility.
How do you change a co-worker's view of their job?
I have a couple of co-workers who rarely help fellow CNAs, or take care of a resident that they are not directly assigned to. (They do not seem to believe in teamwork)
Our facility does not have a career ladder, or accountability structure for CNAs other than direct intervention by nurses. (We do not have senior CNAs responsible for other CNAs).
I am trying to sell the facility on the idea of appinting senior CNAs who may better be able to deal with problem CNAs than nurse are.
