She Feels Guilty About Quitting Her Hospice Care Job, But She Couldn’t Stand Watching Or Being Associated With Her Coworkers Who Mistreated Residents Anymore

For more than 20 years, this woman has worked as a Hospice caregiver.

Over the course of her career, she has worked in facilities as well as within the private sector.

Since she has so much experience, she is aware of what her job entails, and there aren’t too many surprises for her anymore.

“I recently accepted a position in a hospice memory care unit for good pay, working overnights. I really love the residents, but my problem is with my co-workers and management,” she said.

In her view, the residents that she cares for are paying so much money so that they receive quality care, and she understands that they’re human and they “deserve dignity and respect.” This has always been crucial to her throughout her career.

Since she started her new position three weeks ago, the shifts have been pretty relaxed, and she thinks they’ve gone fairly well.

However, she has grown increasingly frustrated with her co-workers.

Last night, she couldn’t handle it anymore.

For the second time that week, the co-worker who was in charge of her unit while she was on her mandatory lunch break wasn’t performing her job duties at all.

“This is the second time I came back from lunch to find one of my patients on the floor when I SPECIFICALLY told her to watch him because he’s been trying to get out of bed. Welp, of course, he’s on the floor, and this lady who has been here for four years had no idea where the Hoyer lift was, and when we got it, she had absolutely no idea how to use it,” she explained.

She knew what to do, but her co-worker was only getting in the way, which caused the patient to be injured.

Then, she called the nurse who was on-call, and then she was yelled at.

“I wanted to call 911 for a lift assist and wound up hurting myself for the second time in a week on the same patient. The thing is: this co-worker was horrible TO THE PATIENT (who has very advanced dementia) for getting out of bed,” she shared.

Understandably, she is still deeply shaken up by the ordeal and feels like she could burst into tears. She feels awful for her patients who can’t remember her name and who are dealing with caregivers she works with who don’t know what they’re doing.

Due to all of the stress and the mistreatment from her co-workers, she quit her job on the stop and left.
