Orientation!

On Friday night, Steve (my hr person) called. Here is the conversation as best as I can remember.

"Hello"
"Hi Dawn, it's Steve"
"What do you want" (very sarcastic)
"I need you to come to work tonight. I need your help really bad."
"I can't"
"No, really I need to put a brand new cna with you for orientation. She is so new that she is green. Would that be ok?"
"Sure"

So then I get to work all weekend and no orient for me. On Sunday, I find the girl and eventually she made it over to work with me since she was about to leave and never come back. So, when she was with me, she said she had learned more in the 3 hours than she had all weekend on the other unit. She said that Saturday's orientation was a little better than the girl who had her on Sunday. Anyway, I felt like I saved her from leaving us and I sure do hope that she stays because we need more people like Cathy who are willing to work, they just need to be taught what is supposed to happen at certain times. She was waiting around for Steve to get back to the facility (for another insurance meeting) to talk to him about the whole thing. Hopefully everything turns out ok. Anyway, I gotta go wait for Kenzie to get off the bus. I will blog later for today just wanted to catch everyone up on us.
Love,
Dawn
