audit

[Laurie LeAnn]

the place I clean got audited , this is a clinic. they got reamed! They had stuff that was out dated under the counters that wasn't posed to be there. paper work a mess not filed right, well the boss is gone now on conferences from the 4th to the 12th and asked if I can deep clean, ok fine no problem but then a co worker that thinks she is second in command is trying to tell me what to do. telling me something about the patient beds, now I clean these at the end of the day, all I do is wipe them down. they are like what you see in the dr office. not much you can do for these right? so I told her hey what you guys do in the day time and get yelled at for is not my fault I can't be here all day to wipe things down..and as far as cleaning I can only wash I can reach, I have a 3 ft step ladder and the cupboards have spaces between the ceiling and the top that I can't reach, ya think I am going to climb on the counters? NO WAY! osha will have a flaming cow if I fell and you don't have insurance on me and my insurance coverage is junk now! I can only clean with what I have and that is not much! I have asked for a mop for a yr now to do base boards cause the last girl that worked while I was gone w my arm well she broke it, i have mr clean, window cleaner and dry swifter and water, toilet bowl cleaner to use. she pretty much backed off, I have made a list of everything I have cleaned so far. the last time I was taking my time cleaning I was called in and was told that they needed to let me go cause they couldn't afford to keep me, so then I got a call saying oh well medicare check came in and things were looking up so they could keep me well it was more like none of the girls wanted to clean so it was hire me back. so i started just limited my hours to one hr a day to clean. I do not feel its my part of my job to do their dishes,{ this is a house converted to a clinic} clean their personal nic nacs, things of that nature, that is not the clinic. yes I am blowing off steam..aggravated , don't sit and point fingers at me when ya all have your own issues you were getting blamed for is what I am feeling. thanks for letting me vent. now I am getting ready to have lunch w a friend

My mother works as a Charge Nurse at a local Nursing Home/Rehab Center where she used to do Infection Control and SDC(Staffing and Development) and the State does audits once a year to find any deficiencies such as Med-errors, paperwork errors, patient injuries and so on so I know how these audits work and for you to get blamed for things beyond your control and more importantly not your fault is ridiculous at best.It seems to me that the people running the clinic are good at finding and using scape-goats to get themselves out of trouble..

Its good to vent in a way that doesn't hurt others so it makes you feel better. Just a side thought though can you not use a Swiffer that has an extendable arm reach for the high up places?How do you clean the floor without a mop?

[Laurie LeAnn]

Clean with a dry swifter and squirt water on the floor is how i clean w out a mop. There is chemicals on those things that made the floor smeary to. But if they don't buy you stuff to clean w then youUse what you have. Yesterday I went to pick up step stool and I must of twisted my arm weird, the arm I had surgery on and I had shooting pain and couldn't move it.went home was told yo sling it and ice.normally I have 4 hours in week I'm at 7in 2 days prob would of been 10 if I would of cleaned yesterday.got. up this morning and arm o.k. s better just last little sore like I pulled a muscle.I cleaned the kitchen area today for 2 hours then went home I will go back in to do the the cleaning/ but we talked about how nuts o.k. r it was to res mmHg ed for stuff. That was out of our control. I said I take full Blame for not super cleaning.more and it hadn't been done for about a yr.but us get done at one job go to another us just want to get it done, go home
