Today, I went to work at my job as a CNA at a long-term care facility. I'm also on a medication that has a side effect of confusion. I had 3 residents with Alzheimer's tell me to 'get my shit together.' FML
Basically_ tells us more.
OP here! Maybe I should have specified that the medication causes mild confusion, as in, maybe I forget where a specific resident keeps their towels. Alzheimer's residents can get very upset if everything is not done in a specific way. I would never go to work if I thought I could not do my job!

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe it would be better to take some time off until you're done using that medication. Or at least until you can get those side effects under control. I wouldn't want a doped-up nurse taking care of me.

I'm sorry but them telling you to get your shit together is pretty funny. Hopefully the side effects of your medication go away.

Maybe you would benefit from their meds.

How the heck do I get downvotes for recognizing a George Carlin Quote? Look up the quote people. He did it in a show just after turning 70... get some culture people!

Now you're getting downvotes for complaining about getting downvotes.

I'd recommend taking time off until you can tolerate the side effects if they're that bad.

I think you should have stayed home until you were 100%. However, I also know how hard it is for people in your profession to get time off. I hope things are better now OP.

Perhaps it was one person telling you that but your meds were making you think there was three. The sad part is that the original patient could have possibly been a mirror.
