Forest Hills In Broken Arrow: A Case Study
This topic was chosen because I have worked in places where this
was very much the issue. In the Nursing Home industry there is a
nationwide shortage of about 60,000 people. Because of this short-
age particular management skills are needed to slow the attrition.
One particular nursing home that is handling this problem about as
effectively as possible is Forest Hills in Broken Arrow. First of all,
in this establishment, the RN's and LPNs do an excellent job of
handling the nursing duties. When this is done, the CNA can do
his/her job routinely and spend more time with the resident. Routine
jobs for the CNA are lifting residents from their bed and dressing
them, combing their hair, and changing diapers when necessary. …show more content…
They are at the mercy
of the CNAs. There was much back-biting at Glenwood. You could
not depend on many CNAs covering for you. This happens when
you need to be in two places at once. If you have been trained
properly you can help someone and still get your duties done.
There were some ethnic and race problems. Some people are very
touchy about taking advise and teaching from others. They are
easily offended and wait to "get back" at another CNA. The resident
is the one who suffers when these things occur. Some people
doing interviews express that they can tell from the beginning
who will be a natural for the CNA job. You can teach rules and
regulations but you can't teach common sense. With close super-
vision, many of these errors would not happen. Another problem
that is arises is the "drama" issues. If CNAs are not fairly mature,
they can be "sucked" into this drama business as it is "everywhere,"
especially on social media and it is learned very quickly. It is a
cover for the real issues in the workplace and will cause many
problems if not curbed in a hurry. These were some of the issues
that I found that hampered Glenwood from being a really
