When asked how Staff E had come to be put on the schedule as a CNA, the NHA stated the Director of Nursing (DON) and the HRM person were not here at the time of the transition of the employee. The NHA stated he could only assume it was a lack of process. At 12:36 p.m., the RNC stated the former Human Resource person was terminated on 05/01/2025 for falsification of time for other staff and other reasons. The RNC was observed speaking on the phone. The RNC reported she had spoken with the former NHA. The RNC confirmed Staff E had been transferred from dietary to the CNA position.
